The allure of NL Holdem is that bad players can get lucky and think they know what they're doing but in reality, they are clueless. They can also get a emotional attachment to the game like "I can't believe I lost or won with that hand" or "I can't believe I went that deep in a tourn after playing for 6 months".
So in the short run, the novice player can enjoy success here and there, folks can develop an emotional attachment to the game making them want to keep coming back and you'll find if you play live that a lot of folks use the poker table as a place to go hang out, socialize and enjoy the company of folks. So the game fulfills a lot of folks wants and it can just be fun at the same time.

My theory is that on a subconscious level, the human mind is overwhelmed by the fact that you could get stinking rich by only holding cards and moving plastic discs around (or clicking a few buttons on a computer screen); therefore most players view it as a really smart and easy way to acquire wealth. That hope, I think, is the driving force behind the popularity of this game.

I think poker is interesting to people because it seems to be very easy to learn and you can make money! But it's actually not as easy as people think! People also like to compete and prove that they are better than others, and poker gives such an opportunity, plus it will be popularized a lot! This is my personal opinion, please do not judge strictly! Good luck to everyone at the tables!

It is not addictive, if someone becomes addicted to this game it is because they cannot control their impulses. Regarding the popularity of the game, it is due to the publicity it has received thanks to the movies and the professional athletes that influence it, such as Neymar Jr, among others.

Here in brasil its not that popular, its hard to meet people and make a table to play some nights. Here a popular game is called "truco", easy to find 4 people and start playing any kind of meeting.

I think it is popular because it is easy to learn and it has a bit of everything. It involves strategy, skill, luck, math and psychology. For beginners it looks more exciting than chess and you can play with a lot of friends and people. Plus you can play for money.

The interest is the money. Lots of people are thinking, that they can be successful in poker and one day they will win lots of money.
Usually lots of them just realize in one moment, that this game is not so easy and you really need to have a huge experience to be able to have a chance for a big cash.
Also, poker is a very lazy game. It,s not so hard at all to seat in your chair and click on your mouse.
