Great Online Poker Tournament » Introduction to Casino Poker
Poker, not baseball, is the national pastime. Think about it. How many people actually play baseball? Every week millions of people across America gather in kitchens and dining rooms to play the game that enthralled Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill and countless other historic personalities. Most people's poke knowledge begins with communal experience. It's further influenced by a ubiquitous scene from films and television. Four or five people are sitting at a round table. A single bright light shines from above. The year is 1880 or maybe 1920. Each person is holding five cards. The bad guy throws some cash into the pot and says, "I'll see your $800 (dramatic apuse) and raise you $3,000." Then he tosses another stack of bills onto the pile.
