During the last decade, the game of poker has grown in popularity across all countries. One of the main reasons for this is because of the prize money, media coverage, TV shows and the launch of online poker websites and apps. Europe and Asia have reported a high interest in the game of poker, making these regions an extremely lucrative market for the poker industry. The recent World Series of Poker which was held at the Rio in Vegas also had a number of celebrities taking part, giving further coverage to the game of poker.
While online poker in the U.S is banned in most states, it still gets a lot of news coverage as different states look to find ways to legalize online poker. All this hype about poker has stirred the curiosity of people from across the world who want to play the game of poker.
Most of these curious poker fans have a number of basic questions such as what is poker all about? How do I learn the rules of the game? How long will it take for me to understand how to play poker? How much money can I make playing poker? Is it really possible for me to win big prize money playing poker? Where is the best place for me to start playing online poker?
