I played a bunch of times with friends as the poker craze swept in 2005-2006. Then, in my group, everyone stopped playing. It was just a passing fad in my area. It almost seems so retro to even mention it. "It's so 2005". We even went to Vegas and played in a $50 tournament back then.
Further, I know online poker was dealt a death blow in 2011 with the fed banning.
What is the status now? Is Hold'em a lot less popular than it was in 2005? Was there a peak? Is it 50% as popular as it was back then?
Has the phone App era brought a resurgence to Hold'em? This is how I got started playing again in 2012, and it's been real fun. And, I am better now than I ever was before, playing 1000's of hands on my phone instead of a slow night with live people.
