I have never been a gambler that goes to casinos or promotes them online. I do how ever like to play card games that vary from the simplest such as hearts, and some of the more intense games such as poker. I hadn't played for some time and I kept hearing everyone talking about Texas Hold'em and I didn't have a clue about the poker rules for this game.
I watched on TV now and then with shows like the "Super Stars of Poker", but I still didn't get a good grasp on the poker rules for this particular game. So the only thing to do was to go online and search for rules and hopefully a description of the strategies to play it.
What I found out is that Texas Hold'em Poker is currently the most popular form of poker to be played currently and is the type of poker played in the World Series of Poker. The game of poker has a long history. Card games are believed by some to have initially developed in China over 1000 years ago, and spread throughout the world.
Numerous variations of poker began to appear during the early twentieth-century, and Texas Hold'em poker developed out of the original “community card” poker games that are first recorded around 1919. In Texas Hold'em Poker, each player is initially dealt two cards face down, and the dealer then deals five “community cards”, which can be used by all players to form their hands.
Now, I'll play poker or other card games for M&M's and tooth picks, but I don't play for money because I believe that gambling in general is wrong. Not for the reasons you might think though. I don't think there is anything wrong with the games themselves, but I have an issue with a culture that promopeopleeope to risk money on things they can't afford to. Gambling has ruined countless lives because they can't stop once they started. It's just a form of entertainment, but not everyone is capable of stopping with the entertainment value of the game. Enjoy playing poker, but don't play with fire if can't afford to be burnt.
