The History of Poker

[Baofeng]

even if it runs for 100 years now  still this game really makes gamblers to love this game (including me? there have been many years of my existence that I enjoy this game and Until now enjoying .

that's because poker games are fairer because we fight someone and even several people in one table different from other casino games where we are against a machine that may have set our losses and wins there, so that's why poker is more in demand, BTW is there a gambling site in this forum are there any freeroll poker games today?

Usually I only play texas holdem poker through the application on my cellphone and never play on gambling sites because it is difficult to find opponents there

There are poker tournaments though in this community as far as can remember, so maybe you can join the fun when they open it up again.

And it's true, it's you against someone else in the table, you have your own strategy against anyone as compare to other games which is based on pure luck. And it has grown so much in the last 20 years specially with WSOP being showed on television.

I also only played Texas Holdem, of course there are variations but this is one of the most known poker games.

And we have heard the term 'bluff' from poker itself.

Edit: This is one tournament from our community, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5310518.0 by yahoo62278 himself.

sometimes when we have a large amount of money or chips we are able to make a bluff to make people not follow our game, but that does not apply to those who have little money or chips can only hope for luck at the table when their cards come out, usually like this the cards can be easier to read if we play long at that table

[dezoel]

players were armed with knives and firearms. Those gamblers did not hesitate to resort to violence if they felt they were cheated.

Nice history. Fits right in the time of wild west where Buster Scruggs is looking for gunslingers to shoot. It must be easier to play with 20 cards which I guess anyone smart enough to figure how to win will be accused of cheating.

I would certainly not play the game but watch from a distant betting who's going to die tonight.

Indeed, nice and interesting but I don't wonder why players are like that because that have happened during the world wars and players are likely be soldiers. We know what their attitudes are. They are strong and very eager for a fight/war much more if they think someone is betraying them. I see that cards number are smaller than what we have today so yes it should be more easier for some experienced poker player to analyse or count the cards.

There is also bluffing in poker. I think I wouldn't consider them as cheating but it's only a kind of strategy. For us who are scared to die, then we will choose to not play the game or we will choose to not win even if we are skilled enough.

Of all the games in a casino, the only one I actually enjoy is Poker. "Poque" is one of the most popular games in the gambling industry. It has been around as we know it for around 100 years. It is said to have been brought from Eastern Europe onto the Americas by New World immigrants and since then has suffered several mutations; nowadays it has evolved into dozens of other gambling options and it is probably the most played online casino game in the world. Its history is quite interesting!

Check below to read more about the History of Poker

"Where and when was poker invented? Poker's earliest ancestors came from Europe, the Middle East, and China. The game as we know it today finally took shape in the early 1800s in America. One of the earliest forms of poker called ‘poque' was played in gambling dens in New Orleans. The game spread from New Orleans, gained popularity among soldiers during the American Civil War, and eventually migrated to the western frontier. The rest, as they say, is history."

Welcome to the forum; yes, I agree that poker's history is ancient, and it has faced several mutations since reaching the current ERA. Even in the .current ERA, it is trendy among the players, unlike the other popular games. Also, it's not easy to read what is in the minds of other players and what other players have; totally unpredictable match. I like this game. I thank you for sharing the history of my favorite game.

It is always interesting to read about the historical development of anything. It helps to give one good foundational knowledge and also gives the proper recognition to the founders of such things. I was very surprised to read that the almighty Poker game did not originate from America, but from Europe, the Middle East, and China. It was also nice to read about the transnational stages of this game to what we all enjoy now in various offline and online casinos. These changes got me thinking of how the Poker game would be played in the future.

I am active learning a lot about poker, there are many courses that I have done on YouTube, there are chaos where I find very similar information, the game itself is simple, but I want to know better techniques, and one of the things that I like here is because Many players who are quite good do interesting things in tournaments, but where can I enter tournaments? the only one that organizes all the poker tournaments is Betnomi? I would like to play and although the registration fee is high I would like to be part of a tournament, with what I have learned I think it would not go so badly for me in a game or in a tournament, I have practiced, it would be excellent to play with expert people.

Bluffing is a kind of strategy simply to decieve the opponents but it is risky sometimes. Imagine betting really huge to convince your opponents that you have your ace up on your sleeves, but ended up losing that bet because your opponent fought it out. To be decieve is somehow subjective especially in gambling because there are players who have bigger and wider gambling experience. Sometimes it would work, and sometimes it won't. The best thing to do is to gauge the odds of throwing your 'bluff' because it could be two-sided, it required huge confidence to pull it off effectively.

Also, histories have loopholes. There are times whereinhistory itself is not accurate especially with the context of origin. Perhaps there were earlier ideas of card games which are similar to poker, but it happened that it was just not broadcasted and known by other countries. But good thing is that, some history books were being updated because of continuous studies. So likewise with poker, there are different versions of its origin.

usually bluffing is only done when we really have a good card and it is certain to win, sometimes there are people who dare to bet because they have the belief to win too, to be honest I also don't want to cheat anyone in this game sometimes we need this technique to get a win

If you have good cards and most likely you will win a hand why would that be a bluff?! I guess you are a real shark at the tables!

As Yatsan says, bluffing is a try to deceive an opponent/opponents. It requires confidence and big balls. Without confidence, your opponents will see through your bluff. Big balls are needed for making a move and risking losing all of your chips at certain moments of the game.

I will tell you one thing from my experience and from watching many big poker tournaments... you can't win a game without bluffing. It goes both ways, but in some moments bluffs can keep you in the game and give you some advantage.

yes that's a poker game who has confidence he will be the winner, sometimes I also read cards so at least I know the big or small cards that will come out, I also often play tournaments so I'm used to seeing bluffing games like that, I always bluff no only bad or good cards because that's my way of tricking the opponent into not knowing the cards I have, when he believes my cards are bad and put all his chips I will surprise him showing the cards I have are better than him

To be honest, the "bluff" is very spectacular when it happens and it always comes up in movies and stories that are told among friends. It is that extra that comes with being able to confuse the opponent, however it is very difficult to play with experienced opponents and the professional players will tell you that is so risky when bets are high that it is very rarely used.

^We are the same, I loved to play poker since then but I never know the history of it.
I thought before it came from something in the middle east because it is all about playing cards but I know, my confusion was gone because of those statements above.
However, bluffing is the first word that I learned in Poker but I don't know before how to execute my opponent, and reading their face expression sometimes boils down to massive losses.

in some poker games we can see every opponent's stats, I wouldn't do something like a bluff on an experienced opponent, but I can only do that to those novice players at once to teach them that this game must be full of confidence, besides poker also need luck to get a good card at the end
