Poker was booming before Black Friday. There was a lot more poker sites, less restrictions. Poker communities were highly active. There were poker shows commonly aired on TV.

It felt like poker was on the rise, before black Friday hit poker sites, and forced them to shut down, or adjust to their new laws. It was a big thing in poker when it happened, and several players lost funds they had on major sites such as Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker, and Full Flush Poker. I might be missing a site or two from this list.

Pokerstars is the only site out of those that remained, they even purchased Full Tilt Poker, and paid back all the players that the old owners failed to do.

Do you think poker will ever come back to it's glory days?

Wait... what? Do you mean Black Friday the shopping day or something else? Not sure why Black Friday (shopping day) would affect poker.
 
I don't think so. I don't see America opening g it back up and they would be the catalyst. With that said poker is more lucrative now than it was then. Just much more difficult as everyone seems to be good now.
 
The pre-Black Friday era is something I would always remember. Now, we have stricter regulations and less options available for players. But online poker are slowly coming back in some places.

Actually, I think it’s come back pretty far if you live in the right state that is or country
State like California will keep you trapped unless they can find some way to take a bigger chunk out of everything that you win ugh!
