First, let's see why this boom has happened. We saw three distinct events that created the increase in action at the poker tables. Now, in chronological order, this is what happened that created the increase in poker activity.

It all starts in 1994 when polish poker player, entrepreneur, Henry Orenstein developed, and patented, the know how for the the "pocket cam". The fans are now able to see the pocket cards that each of the players have while the hands are being played out. The first appearance of this invention took place in 1997 on the british show late night poker.

Poker had been on TV since the 70's, but it was a small audience. It wasn't very interesting watching poker because not knowing what cards the players had, you were guessing what the players thinking. The pocket cam made watching poker events on TV incredibly entertaining.

The next thing that led to the poker boom was the beginning of the online poker rooms. The first internet poker room was opened in 1998. People are now able to play in the tranquil environment of anywhere they want that they can get online. The online poker rooms will display a growing player base as people learned of these new poker rooms.

This sets the stage for the third piece to the puzzle. When Chris Moneymaker beats some of the top pros in the game to win the world series of poker Main Event in 2003, the poker boom happens. Gaining his entry by winning a $40 online satellite tournament, then capturing the title, starts the avalanche of poker popularity.

The combination of the hole card cam drastically adding to the number of people watching poker on TV, and the expansion of internet poker adding to the number of poker players, prepared us for the "Moneymaker" effect. Everyone seeing an online, amateur player, capture the biggest title in all of poker, poker activity increased dramatically.

The explosion we see produces a vast amount of business opportunities for poker savvy business people. There are seemingly endless ways to earn an income in the rapidly growing poker world. Most of these opportunities are internet. Let's name a few of the businesses you can run in this growing industry.
