At the moment, I'm in Hong Kong. From what I have observed, there is almost a zero presence in terms of online poker. So far, I have seen one Texas Hold'em-related item for sale in a shop so far and zero television coverage. In addition, I have only seen one poker book in 5 bookstores that I've visited (Michael Craig's The Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide King).

As for Macau, I will be heading over in the weekend and will see if their casinos spread any form of poker. As far as I know, Baccarat is the dominant form of gambling (in terms of income for casino). I think the Sands Macau (run by the people who run the Venetian) has opened and the Wynn Macau will open in a two weeks (September 9th, I think).
