Poker is getting more and more popular not only for all practical purposes, but also because it is considered to be a real sport. Poker is the most popular sport in the U.S. According to some estimates about 100 million participants are playing poker at home, at casinos, and online. It might be the easiest game in the world to learn, but it is the hardest to master as well. A novice say all he needs is a list of what hands beat and it is really so. It takes only few minutes to learn. But it takes a lifetime to master the rules, strategies, cheats and all variations of the situation that you could be involved in. Yes, there is much luck needed because people can experience tremendous success after only playing the game for a short period of time. For example Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 Main Event after playing online for 3 years. But online players often play multiple games at the same time with the purpose to see all possible hands. That could not happen at a real poker table.
