In fact, as high schools settle into the routine of a new school year, poker is resuming its place as one of the most popular and socially accepted activities in teenagers' lives. Cable TV draws young viewers for popular celebrity-poker shows and big-ticket poker tournaments (more than a million people tuned in for each ESPN telecast of the 2006 World Series of Poker).
