Probably the most played card game all over the world is the game called Poker.
Poker is a game using cards wherein the players would gamble on the value of the cards combined (or hand) within the other players’ possession. The bet is usually placed in the center of the table or center pot. A player can be declared as the winner of the game if he holds the card with the highest value. The value of the card will be according to the established ranking hierarchy.

The new poker game

Because of the growth of the World Wide Web, poker can now be played online, at the comfort of your own home or even at the office. It can be played anywhere as long as you have a computer and an internet connection. And since the popular card game became accessible, the online poker increased the number of players all over the globe. Just like the typical poker game in casinos, online poker is also legal. Many countries also regulate the online poker especially in the Caribbean islands as well as United Kingdom. Online poker is exploding in popularity, and we can probably assume that it will just keep getting more and more popular.

World Series of Poker

Poker is no longer just a card game played in simple poker rooms or casinos. The WSOP or World Series of Poker is the biggest poker tournament and is held every year in Las Vegas, Nevada. The WSOP is made up of fifty-five events. The whole tournament will last for a month. The finals or the main event of the WSOP will be scheduled in a different date. Those who will win the event will be given a World Series of Poker bracelet.

The prize that they will receive will depend on the number of participants during that particular event. As of the moment, there are now 4 poker players who got the award called Player of the Year namely Daniel Negreanu (2004), Allen Cunningham (2005), Jeff Madsen (2006) and Tom Schneider (2007).

There are a bunch of women playing poker as well, who are terrific. Among them, worth mentioning is Annette Obrestad who is one of the youngest on the poker scene ever! This illustrates how poker is a game for everyone, regardless of sex, age, nationality or occupation.
