Right now, Texas Holdem poker is debatably the most popular form of poker being played at tables all around the world. Once the 2000’s came along and it began being televised people from all over started taking up seats at online poker sites trying to win their own fortunes. The internet has had a huge impact on all casino games, but none have seen a bigger surge more than this type of poker.
While for decades 7 card stud was the card game to be played, in this last decade Texas Holdem has waged war and successfully killed it in popularity. That isn’t to say you can’t still find games of 7 card stud and plenty of people to beat, but holdem seems to be the game of this generation. The World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour both have no limit betting games as main events, that is how much people love this game.
The fact that Texas Holdem is often the poker you see portrayed in television shows and in movies has only added to the worldwide appeal of the game. You can play it from anywhere as well, which is a fun bonus. You can play online poker from your computer or even your cell phone or blackberry. How fun is that??
