Introduction to Poker

If you have got to our site we can safely assume that you too were swept by the tidal wave of poker. In the last half a decade poker has become much more than a gambling game, it has become more like a professional sport. Most veteran poker players agree that poker is finally getting the respect it deserves and its appropriate place in culture. A decade ago poker was considered to be morally reprehensible and associated with criminals and the lower parts of society but at our times poker is being played at the dinner table by the entire family.

Poker television shows are gaining amazing popularity and rating and poker magazines are getting more subscribers than they could ever imagine. Another way to see how rapidly the poker world is growing you can just compare the entrants to the last World Series of Poker tournament – an astonishing amount of more than 5000 players. By the way, the buy-in (entry fee in poker tournament jargon) is 10,000 dollars. For comparison, in the 2000 tournament were about 500 entrants.
