Online poker was really interesting before Black Friday. I used to play back then. Nothing crazy, about 60,000 hands of NLHE at low stakes cash games for fun.

Online poker was really interesting before Black Friday. I used to play back then. Nothing crazy, about 60,000 hands of NLHE at low stakes cash games for fun. But the really interesting thing to me was how successful the video learning platform SAAS business was for Poker. These sites started to pop up where high level players would record their sessions and talk through their hands, then you paid per month for access to these videos. I remember when Card Runners[0] just came out. It was one of those niches that lined up perfect for a SAAS business. No shortage of games, lots of online pros playing with different styles, and some of them were really good at talking through their thought process. All they had to do was play (which they were doing already) and comment on their hands. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CardRunners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CardRunners
