Just going off of memory in this post ...but that nobody knows who specifically created poker, but that it derives from Poku...and that the Chinese were the first to invent cards but the playing cards we use for poker were created in England which is why there are Queens 
Texas holdem was invented as the post says above...this is just going off of memory, don’t have time to verify and look up facts but anyone correct me if I am wrong
Here is some fun facts about why there are 52 cards and 13 per suit.

Men have been playing forms of poker all over the world for centuries, long before poker reached the east coast of the United States. It is however there that modern poker was born, fruit of the diversity of its ancestors and of the diversity of the populations which emigrated there en masse between 1860 and 1920. Poker probably owes its etymology to the French game "at the time. "and it was imported by French people who had gone to Louisiana.

Poker was invented in Belarus. And my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother invented it...

Not really. There have been lots of movies before "Maverick", where poker was the main topic.

In fact nobody knows for sure but the theory that looks most accurate to me is that poker was invented in New Orleans around the beginning of 1800s as a combination of several other games played by the different nationalities living in the city at that time (French, Spanish, German, English and so on).

I have no idea, poker must have been invented before humanity. The old man of poker for me is of course Doyle Brunson.

If you have a poker father, more importantly, who is the mother of a poker father?
Or the brother of the aunt of the wife (i.e. the mother of poker) of the father of poker is the father of the mother of poker?
And did the father and mother of poker father and mother know each other?
