The home poker game was a popular get-together even before Chris Moneymaker entered an online satellite on Poker Stars and went on to win some big poker tournament. A game of cards was a good excuse for the guys to get together and burn a few extra cigars, or for the housewives to bet extra coupons, remember Mr. Mom?But now? Holy cow!
