All professions have their own holiday.
even the pirates have a holiday on September 19 and blondes on May 31.
*When is our World Poker Day?
Officially no. White spot in history. But...
the first mention of poker was in the American newspaper November 1, 1834
then the game was called the game of boatmen
The game was when there were trips on barges along the Mississippi River. so the game captured the north of the country
and when there was a gold rush, the game came to the west
First there was a deck of 20 cards.
game 4 people, and each had 5 cards. immediately there were tender
as in the Persian game AC HAC.
Then there were 52 cards, and a flush appeared
poker has become clever
there are several types
in 1850 there was already a dro-POKER.
card stud appeared during the civil war in the United States.
then there was a street.
1875 - the joker appeared
In 25 years the world recognized High Low
again in 25 years BORD appeared with common maps
it was all about the cache
when tournament poker was born is not known.
there is an opinion that in 1970
So here.
when we are asked when our holiday boldly speak on November 1 and congratulate your friends
and although it is not official, if we congratulate each other each other month in the last month of autumn, we all together will make this day a worldwide one.
