Poker has been with us for more than one hundred years now, and some will have you believe it has been with us in various forms for much, much longer. It’s possible but it really depends how you define poker and where you draw the line between modern versions and some ancient, probably Chinese, game that looked a bit like it.
When it comes to certain versions we can be more sure – Texas Hold’em, the game of preference for the past forty years or so has definite roots in the state of that name from early in the 20th century. The game was then brought North by various ’rounders’ and other players and the gambling riverboats emanating from that region also gradually helped establish it in other quarters.
So now we have an immensely popular game, played by millions of people connected by the world wide web. You can play for money or pleasure 24/7, 365 days a year but how do you keep up with events in this fast-moving world? You come to a site like this which aggregates all the important online information you need to make your games enjoyable and your decisions informed.
