Online 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 40 million) than anywhere else although the rest of the world is catching up. It is the US national past-time.

The strategy behind poker depends on how good your opponents are. The best poker players on will usually be aggressive and try to steal your chips in a hurry. In a big poker tournament like the World Series, it's probably a good idea in the early stages to take it slow and be selective about which hands you play.
