Has poker gotten too popular? Is there such a thing? Does it becoming as popular as it is make it not as fun?
 
I think poker has declined in popularity compared to the height of the poker boom, but I do believe the game is starting to gain traction again. Online poker remains strong, live tournament fields continue to grow, and poker content creators are introducing the game to new audiences. While it may never reach the same mainstream popularity it had during the boom years, poker continues to attract dedicated players and is showing signs of renewed interest.
 
In my place, Poker is certainly not very popular. It is usually limited to playing in casino settings and isn't much popular in home games
 
In my place, it isn't very popular. Online poker scene has certainly become more popular than in the past. I see a lot of new sites evolving and becoming popular.

Oh yeah!
There are quite a few news Site popping up.
But the drawback is they’re not actually funded a few of them use player base funds to pay off withdrawals. Bonus offers,etc which makes them a little shaky.

I also feel it also locations within California especially we can’t legally withdraw funds banks will stop transactions that state poker or gambling issued we recently lost several sweepstakes sites because of it ugh
Las Vegas is a safe haven I know several recreation players in California. They use Las Vegas periodically. They’ve done well, considering the expense involved
 
I don't think popularity is the problem. The real issue is what comes with the popularity in question. Once something becomes big enough, everybody starts trying to find a way to make money out of them. That's the major issue. But popularity brings new players and new ideas to the game.
