Have there been any new TV "household name" poker celebrities since 2008 era?
Helmuth, Brunson, Dwan, Negreanu, Ivey, TonyG, Matusow, Antonius, Ferguson, etc.
These are the names I know. And still see on YouTube.
These were legit personalities and a whole cast of characters. Serious personalities for box office draw.
But, this is pushing 20 years ago. They are probably all retired now.
Are there new names today?
Am I out of the loop, or has poker become stuck in time?
Are there new Poker TV shows like Poker After Dark 2008-2011 peak?
Back in the day when I started playing I could name shedloads of players off the top of my head. Poker is not on TV over here for along time now and I can't name one.
Doug Polk probably got as much exposure as possible going off how much poker has died down since 2009.
My non poker friends know who Negreanu is, and that's it.
