Summary: Poker has become an American pastime. The game has been around for centuries, and the popularity shows no signs of slowing down. It is a card game that is always evolving, and with the recent rise of online tournaments and tv programs, we still see the game of poker creating quite a following. Poker encompasses a wide variety of games from 5 Card Stud and Heinz 57 to Texas Hold ‘em. Each one of these has variations with different rules and strategies. In Texas Hold’em, players are dealt two cards each. The dealer begins to play a hand face-up on the table, and players go around betting, each trying to make the best hand with his or her two cards and any three cards from the table. This version of poker has become extremely popular with the birth of televised tournaments and celebrity playing.
