If now poker has become a really fashionable game, either to play with friends or at online poker rooms, it has not always been like that. Indeed, the game has suffered a bad reputation for a long time, but things have recently changed, urged by two different factors. First, Internet has turned the gaming industry upside down by creating online poker rooms and online casinos that now allow everybody to play poker. Then, the massive media coverage of important poker events such as WSOP has created the « poker dream », showing anonymous players qualify to great poker tournaments with just a few dollars, pocket tons of cash and become poker stars. Poker is now a really popular game and this popularity is not going to decrease any time soon!
