The game of poker has been and continues to be one of the most popular card games of all time. For centuries, poker has been a mainstay of steamboats to opulent Las Vegas casinos. Anywhere that there is gambling going on, you can be sure that there is a poker table somewhere nearby. While the game of choice may have changed over time, the fundamentals of the game are the same now as they were over hundred years ago. Once the game of poker was a game for bandits and lawmen like Buffalo Bill, but has evolved since then to the stately and refined game that it is today. Poker was often viewed as crude and a game for poor men but with the recent surge in popularity, particularly of Texas Hold’em, poker has attained its rightful spot as a difficult and strategic card game that is loved around the world.
