Learn To Play Poker
By Steve Hall
Do you play Poker? Do you watch on television and wish that you were sitting at the table with the famous players (and of course wining the big money)? Have you always wanted to play Poker, but don't know how or don't have anyone to play with? Guess what. You can play on your computer. You may have heard about computer and online in the past, but didn't get around to installing it on your computer. Well, now is your chance. Read on as to how you can become a guru through computer games.

Poker is a card game of skill, strategy, and luck. The exact origin of is unknown. There are many theories as to the beginning of the widely popular card game. It has been theorized that began in China several centuries ago. Despite the hazy origin of around the world, it is fairly easy to track the popularity of throughout the United States.

The first games played in the United States were in the Southern city of New Orleans in the late 1800's. Steamboats traveled up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers while passengers tried their hand at Poker. The thrill and excitement of took the United States by storm as it spread by wagons and trains.

Poker comes in many variations such as "Texas Hold 'em" and "Seven Card Stud". This variety makes a robust, interesting card game. Celebrities have always been fans of Poker, but in recent years they have taken this interest to the world of television. For example, BRAVO network has the "Celebrity Showdown" in which a group of celebrities plays for the cameras. They have experts that give hand by hand commentary as to the skills and mistakes of the Celebrities. It is fascinating to hear the experts dole out their observations while the celebrities make witty comments.

Poker, more then any other card game, centers on reading your opponent's body language and facial expression. A quick twitch of the eyebrows or a blushed complexion can let an experienced, observant opponent know whether you have a winning or losing hand. Therefore, a straight face known as a "poker face" is necessary. I have often wondered if the celebrities, specifically actors, would make the best players because they are masters at controlling their emotions and expressions.

Online and computerized games

have become a popular activity in recent years. players can test their skills without the need of physical opponents - they can just play against the computer or online. Many players use computer games to learn how to play and to practice their skills.
