It may seem a simple question to the thousands that take part in online poker, but to many they are confused as to how a game, which has rationally been played as a face to face card game, could possibly become such a successful online casino game, it’s all about the massive strides that have been made in computer technology and the internet.
All the traditional games that you may have enjoyed at a casino can be played online; these include the popular 5 card stud poker, 7 card stud poker, and the popular Texas Hold’em poker. Free poker is a great addition to online poker, some may want to play and risk a few pounds, and others may want to play for tens or even hundreds. Playing real live poker in poker sites in your house is great, there’s nothing like getting a bunch of friends together and cracking a few cans of beer and playing a couple of hours of poker.

They were falling thick and fast on Wednesday as more than two thirds of the second day starters quit and left Frenchman Yan Brosolo as the chip leader going into day three as the comfortable leader. Marc Gork, who led the field at the beginning of the day, saw his stack dwindle until he busted out before the end of the day.
With Brosolo in the lead and with his fellow Frenchman Rui Cao, who held on to his second-place position (522,500 chips) going into tomorrow, they are not going to have it all their own way though, not in a tourney as tough as the European. Close on their heels are EPT Grand Final winner and Team PokerStars Pro Pieter de Korver, with Kristoffer Edberg, EPT San Remo finalist Kalle Niemi, Antony Lellouche and Luca Pagano all holding threatening numbers of chips. With 95 runners left and just 80 places paying out, it’s going to be fun.

Remember the old films of poker players sitting at the table of a steamboat on the Mississippi, well that is a wonderful picture of the past and times have changed, in a big way! With the advent of online poker games, the steamboat is gone and the table is now a computer, but the battle of wits remains. Online poker remains true to its river ancestor in one major and important respect, the interaction between players. No other online casino game preserves the human interaction in the way that online poker does.
Poker has been played since sometime in the early 18th century, and as the films reminded us it was part of the “Wild West”. Traditionally 3 games dominated poker then, draw, seven card stud, and Hold’em. Now, with the ever growing popularity of poker worldwide, you can find and play any game that suits you.

It is widely assumed, quite wrongly, that online poker and poker tournaments in casinos are for men only and whilst no one would argue that it is a male dominated pastime, there are some quality female superstars, one of whom is Victoria Coren.
Victoria is a well known face in televised poker tournaments and in 2005 she finished first in the celebrity poker club series 2 in Cardiff for £25,000. But it was in 2006 that Victoria Coren really made her name in poker when she became the first women ever to win an event on the European Poker Tour taking first prize in the EPT London main event for £500,000.
Having played poker most of her adult life, Victoria is often seen playing at the aptly named Grosvenor Victoria, no it was named after her though many thought it had been! Writing regular columns in both the Guardian and Observer newspapers, she also presents, together with commentating on a variety of TV and radio shows including Late Night Poker, World Poker Tour, Poker Nations Cup, Grosvenor UK Poker Tour and many more.

Whether you’re new to playing online slots or a seasoned player we do know that playing slots online is just as much fun as going to a real casino and probably better than the golf club! Things are so different now; we all remember the day players were limited to only a handful of machines which really didn’t offer anything above a basic jackpot and the standard three reels. At online casinos today we have more styles to choose from and the game selection is so diverse that it’s almost impossible to play each machine.
With so many choices at online casinos it is worth emphasising that players of slots should play responsibly and above all to know their limits, yes it’s a cliché but it’s the most important one if you like to gamble. Playing slot machines is not like playing poker where you can earn a living from it, we all know that those jackpots are nice, but at the end of the day, you need to realize that a slot machine is for entertainment purposes only, but join us and have fun.
