Poker

Poker could be right now hotter then ever and this largely thanks to the expansion of online poker. Poker is an extremely old card game and has made a long way from the wild west saloons to the internet and glamorous casinos. Pokers winning streak began around 2000 when the first online poker rooms were introduced to the world, at first these rooms didn’t really get lot of players as many still viewed poker as a sketchy business and especially played online it smelled fishy in many peoples mind.

2003 can be seen as the year when peoples views about poker really started to change. This is mostly thanks to the one man. Chris Moneymaker was your regular average guy from United States, but he had heard about online poker and decided to try it for small amounts of money. With $40 he entered a satellite tournament where the winner would win a seat wroth $10,000 to the World Series Of poker to played in Las Vegas, Nevada next year Chris managed to win the tournament and got his ticket for WSOP Main Event. Eventually Chris Moneymaker went to win the tournament after he first outlasted hundreds of poker players and then in the final headsup game beat seasoned poker pro Sam Farha. For his win Chris got $2,5million and infinite fame. Once the word started getting spread that this young guy had won $2.5million from poker with just $40 investment people started getting interested about poker. Every year since 2003 both online and live poker have enjoyed strong growth without showings signs of slowing down.

Nowdays online poker is palyed around the globe from United States to Poland and India.
