Poker is the major gambling game played in the world today. Everyone knows something about the game. It is a game of skill and luck, a combination that provides eternal enjoyment for players and onlookers.

Poker and poker-like games are played all over the world because the easy format of play makes it possible for friends to get together. In view of that it also makes sense to adopt a couple of standard games with standard rules so that all people can play on the same level. That has basically happened with minor problems.

Poker is world-wide but the undisputed home is America. The game suits the temperament of the people and a way of life that is based so heavily on money. There are more poker players in the USA (estimated at 30 million) than the rest of the world put together. It is their national past-time. The world championships are held in Las Vegas every year and they attract the finest players which makes for the toughest tournaments.

Rules: Poker rules have a nasty habit of changing from country to country, city to city and even from game to game. Its a good and bad feature of the game. In the first place the variations make poker flexible for all tastes but in the second it makes it difficult to bring in new blood and spread the game itself. GGG describes poker rules and their useful variations.

What town you are in and where you are playing will pretty much determine what sort of poker you are playing. There is however one obvious thing that is constant. Money. Money is the way to keep the score in this game and the best players usually walk away with most of it. If you are a beginner or on your way up the experience ladder then don't be disheartened, there are plenty of ways to stay competitive and have fun. We hope to help you on your way.
