Online Poker: The Game that Grows
Poker is the fastest growing online game today.
More and more people have embraced the comfort and fun of playing poker on the internet. Many experienced poker players see online poker as an attractive compliment to live play. And many new talents prefer the online action.
Here are some comments and reviews about the online poker card rooms I play on. Naturally, most cardrooms are similar in many ways: they shuffle and deal you the cards, you play poker games, there are ring tables and tournaments. But, as in real casinos, every player will have different likes and dislikes.
Some players will like the cardroom with the nice avatars, while other people will prefer something else. Some cardrooms do some things like support, chat features or hand histories better than others, but when it comes to what kind of girl avatars a card room offers, that is going to be a personal preference. So the best advice I can give you is to check out a variety of the cardrooms, play for fun before you play for real money and see which suits you the best.

WSOP: The World's Largest Poker Tournament
Poker tournaments have become incredibly popular in the last 10 years. Born in Las Vegas the game has spread throughout the whole world in both live and online forms.
The first World Series of Poker (WSOP) was held in 1970. It is now the largest live poker tournament in the world. The tournament is comprised of numerous competitions and different poker games with thousands of poker players.
But it is the final competition that is the most prestigious. The winner of the title is the 'World Master.' The game is Texas Hold'em No Limit and the buy in is 10,000 USD. If you don?t want to buy yourself a place you can win one by taking part in the lower priced satellite pre-competition.

Anyone over 21 years old can compete in the WSOP regardless of sex or nationality.
