About Poker

    Poker is one of the most played gambling card game in the world but the good thing about it is that the skill also matters. It's very old game and some says it started in 1820's in New Orleans, Louisiana. Four most popular poker types are Omaha, 7 Card Stud, Razz and Five Card Draw. Each of the types involves different rules and playing strategies but the principle is very similar.
