Poker is a great game to play once you know it well enough. I came across poker about 3 months back without any knowledge prior to playing it; not knowing the mechanics and what separates the pro from the new guy.
Poker itself is a game that has great depth. Beyond the common check, bet, call, raise there are a whole lot of topics to be covered. The industry itself is huge and poised to get bigger and bigger. If you are not in it , you won't see the picture. It is predominantly a sport in America, Europe and Asia is catching up. The main attraction to it is Money. The money from it is "Crazy".
However the game is a confusing sport as governments in most countries have regulations, laws or even inhibit it. Since poker is a game under the genre of gambling.
Three months after, i am enjoying it. I'm still new, but I'm learning, and I'm hungry for my Share.
