Why is poker so famous ?

    Accueil > CULTURE > Advice

    The 2000s saw poker gradually move out of the casinos, where it had been more or less confined, and into the public arena.

    Today, young and old, working class and senior executives alike, almost everyone plays poker in many parts of the world. But how can we explain this phenomenon?

    It’s a strategy game

    For many observers and experts, one of the main reasons for the interest and democratisation of the activity is the general recognition of poker as a game of strategy. Yes, there is an element of luck and uncertainty in the cards you draw, but the impact of these fades as you play. That’s why the best players win in the long run: because they have a winning strategy in place. So poker is a game where thinking is essential, and the fact that it engages our neurons is part of the reason why it is attracting an increasing number of players.

    Poker is fun

    It is also a game that is exciting in many ways, and if a group of friends gather around a table for several hours to hit the board it is primarily for entertainment.  Contrary to popular belief, most players do not play to win money, but to have a good time, and the stakes in tournaments between friends are more symbolic than anything else. However, there are those who consider poker to be a sport in its own right because of its competitive nature. Playing Texas Hold’em at a fast pace gives participants a good dose of adrenaline, not to mention the excitement of an aggressive bet on a strong hand or a bluff on a weak one.

    The Internet’s role

    If there is one factor that has helped to increase the popularity of poker, it is the emergence of the Internet. There are now many sites on the web where you can play and compete with others anonymously from the comfort of your own home. This is especially true as more and more people play poker, like video games, from their mobile phones. The best online poker sites now all have easily downloadable applications that are compatible with all Android or iOS smartphones in particular.

    The online poker software is of excellent quality and benefits from the latest technological innovations in terms of graphics, sound and playability.

    How to progress online ?

    Playing online has many advantages. Besides the fact that you can access your favourite game anywhere and anytime as long as you are connected to the Internet. Many sites provide a play money bonus to encourage you to play with them.

    In addition, it is usually always possible to play for free on these platforms. This allows you to progress without having to stake any money. This can be a positive approach for any player who wants to get some practice before trying out real money tournaments.

    Easy-to-learn rules

    Many poker critics like to criticize without ever having played. However, it is easy to form your own opinion of the game, as it is relatively simple to learn. Like any game, there are obviously rules to know, but experience is gained by playing. For example, if you decide to improve your knowledge by playing online, you will find several sites that offer free tutorials. After a little practice, you will soon notice that the different hands hold no secrets for you, even if you are a beginner. Even the greatest poker champions started out as novices and it is always important to remember the order of the cards and their size!

    Although the famous card game is still far from reaching the popular success of football, its prestige is growing. International tournaments are now regularly held all over the world and attract some of the best players on the planet.
