The major names in poker

Pokermania has invaded poker circles and the actual casinos which now offer this game in their establishments. One of the reasons for this great success is the simplicity of this game aimed at everyone. Poker players have gone from anonynimity to international fame as in the case of Chris Moneymaker. He has won one of the prestigious poker tournaments, the WSOP, and is perfect proof that any player has a chance of winning in poker without being a professional player. Certain poker players are legends in the same way as Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher in Formula 1 or Diego Maradona in football. This is the case of Doyle Brunson who has played poker all his life and who still impresses his adversaries when he sits at a poker table.

The prizes in Texas hold'em tournaments are considerable and are quite an attraction for amateur players who want to have a place in a satellite tournament or to be in the spotlight like the extraordinary Greg Raymer. The game of poker continuously attracts new players due to its simplicity and its jovial spirit. The games take place between friends or within families playing with artificial money (poker play money in poker jargon) or with real money for those who are competitive. The rules of Texas hold'em are simple to learn but as certain people say “it takes a lifetime to master the game of poker”.
