Poker has been played for centuries. It is claimed to be the oldest game that has lasted through the ages. It has evolved and will remain for centuries more.
Historians claim that three versions of poker have been around for centuries. most historians allege these three countries are the basis of modern day poker Persia as the game of as nas, Germany as pochspiel, and France as poque. Poker’s name derives from the French word poque, which translates to English as “to bluff.”
The origins of the game have been debated for years. No one will ever know exactly from where poker came. However, there is no argument that it is an exciting and fun game to play.
Poker became popular during the Revolutionary War in the United States. The game of choice for soldiers was the version of stud that used only three cards. The five-card version of stud became a useful diversion during the Civil War.
Five-card poker began as a game for four people who were dealt the entire amount of a 20-card deck. This version eliminated the lower cards of a normal 52-card deck. The object of this game was to bet on who would have the best hand.

Sit N Go poker tourneys are very exciting. Strategy is key. Unless you have a monster hand that you will go all the way with, you want to try to keep the pots small. Mid pairs are a good case in point. From under the gun, or even 2nd or 3rd to act, it’s very easy to get punished.
In a multi table tournament, it is often a good play to raise with mid to small pairs. This helps disguise your hand and allows you to go for big pots. In an SNG, you are better off limping these hands and only calling small, affordable raises. This ebnables you to get away cheap if you miss your set.
When the blinds are large compared to your stack, you have to play offensive poker. Stealing the blinds whenever possible is a must. In a sense it’s like, “I dare you” at this point. If you don’t steal some blinds you will find your stack too short to scare anyone off and you will lose the ability to steal extra chips.

Poker is one of the most exciting games that anyone can play. Knowing the simple rules of the basic game can open up the opportunity to play all the variations of poker. Playing the game is straightforward with very slight rule changes for each different version.
The game play can be taught with very simple steps. No matter how many cards are dealt or how many players are present, the basics of poker apply to all types of the game. The player is able to focus on the more important parts of the game like bluffing, when he knows the basics of the game.
Depending upon table size and the type of game there can be any number of players. However, a dealer must be chosen but the deal can pass to other players, this dealer passes out the cards to the players. The role of the dealer is to decide who won the game and to regulate card deals.
The player to the right of the dealer is the person who cuts the cards and plays first. All the players put an ante into the middle of the table. The players can bet, what is called a blind bet or all players ante, or they can wait for the dealer to begin the game.

Poker is a card game that seems as though it has been around since before man. You can find it in every era of movies and books. Variations of poker have evolved throughout time.
The different basic variations of poker are stud, draw, and community poker. With stud and draw, each player holds all the cards. In community poker, the dealer or table holds the last usable cards.
The dealer passes out the cards to the player face down or face up depending upon which type is being played in stud poker. Either three or five cards are used in stud poker. 3-card stud was popular back in the 1700’s.
Five-card stud, the most common variant, is where the players are dealt two cards face down and the first bet is made. A bet is made after each up card is dealt thereafter. The last bet, or fifth street, is made once all the fifth cards have been dealt.
Recently, seven-card stud has become the most popular version of stud. Casinos and online poker games normally only offer seven-card stud. This is a combination of stud and community poker.
