History of No Limit poker

Hello everyone,

Thanks in advance. Does anyone know of any literature that documents the rise and fall of no limit poker in the United States?

I know it became popular in the early 80s and died out until it had a resurgence with online poker and TV but is there any book that has documented this?

I appreciate any insight.

The first human rights violation in the poker world

The first human rights violation in the poker world


Becoming a professional poker player was not something I thought I'd be growing up. I started playing at 18 with my friends and I was consistently beating them, and I slowly became more immersed in the game as time went by. It wasn't until I was 22 that I realized I could be a pro, and by the time I was 24 in 2017 I was playing full time. The allure of this game has always been that I can s

Viktor Isildur1 Blom 2016 - Whats going on?


It seems like he comes online like every day, and most of the time losing 5k and then not back until next day again. Anyone got an idea why he does like this?

Why not sit down with 20k and play, why 5k~ every single day?
He cant be broke because he keeps coming back the next day, and it cant be a smart move either to decide to give it a go with just 5k every single day, and then not play at all for

Why is Matt Berkey neatly stacking up his chips after he lost an all in to Nik Airball on HSP?

Loses the pot, dealer doesn't take his chips, he's stacking his chips neatly and then reaching for a reload like he was planning on keeping them, I'm confused...

Additionally, anyone who has asked them why they aren’t doing anything in the global support discord group has been banned. We don’t know what else to do besides make this public. This has been going on since Fa

Main Event attendance, 2011-2016

Main event from 2011 to 2016 had below 7K entries each year, before climbing back to 7K+ in 2017 and increasing each year until 2020 COVID. It then increased each year again starting with 2021.

What happened in 2011-2016? Why was the main event attendance so low during those years?
