Also, I think the fact that a lot of No-Limit Hold'em games now have a cap on the buy-in has increased the popularity. And the invention of internet poker where players can play No-Limit Hold’em for very low stakes has helped. But I think the original premise that good players have a larger edge over bad players in No-Limit Hold’em vs. Limit Hold’em is still true.

Yup. I think the capped buy-in is an indirect factor in the resurgence. MM's original point was correct, and still is, but the cap allows weak players to last longer against the strong ones. Hopefully, long enough to fall in love with the game.

And I feel that micro stakes help in the same way.
