Poker News and Poker Results Help Grow Poker Industry

Global poker news is a very important part of the poker industry. In fact; the journalists, bloggers and film-makers of such news have some of the most important positions in this industry. Let's imagine if poker news was never heard nor seen. Would poker be in the boom stage it is today? I suggest not. Global poker news has helped spread the game of poker to every corner of the globe. Without the global news, poker would hardly be known or heard of throughout the world. I have found this applies to all different sectors of poker since the launch of Womens Poker News.

I can use two massive news stories as examples to show exactly how important it is to have poker news published. These two news stories changed poker for good. Without these stories poker would not be a part of the common man's life nor would it be booming in the land down under; Australia. Global news story number one is that of Chris Money Maker. Chrises unique and brilliant storey on his World Series of Poker win rocked the world. The rock was so deep that it made many men alike Chris (tradesmen) head to the felt to be the next world series champ. The news of this victory by a simple tradesman was spread as global news meaning tradesman world wide were now up for the challenge: “If he can do it, I can do it – How easy was that and with such little skill” was the common thought. Thus it wasn't Chris that made a poker boom amongst common men world wide, it was global poker news providers.

My second example would be that of Joe Hachem. Australians went crazy over poker after Joe's World Series of Poker win. Without poker news, we would not have even heard of the win. Australians would still be laying back knowing little about the game – rather then almost every citizen knowing something about it. I remember the days before Joe's win there were not so many Aussies playing on online poker sites as I see now. Now, they are everywhere! Thousands and thousands of them. Also incorporated of course the APL (Australian Poker League).

Although many people in the world did not read poker news from actual poker news sites or publications on these two industry changing wins (as poker was not as common), the hype was broadcast in many news variants from television and radio through to papers and magazines. Since then, the actual tournaments have been replayed also. The point is the news spread globally! The global poker news spread caused the poker booms!

Without global poker news poker wouldn't be what it is today. The roles of the reporters as mentioned above are of most importance. Poker news is responsible for the way poker is today – for without global poker news poker would not have boomed. The stories of the most fabulous and life changing wins would never be known.
