I never thought about it!! And it really can be very interesting. Still such questions: when was the first profigacy, the first tournament, the emergence of varieties and so on and so forth. I only know the history of Texas holdemI wonder who invented poker
when did he appear
the name poker is in what language
Interesting!I read that texas hold em was invented in a bunkhouse. There were too many cowboys to play stud so they decided to deal less cards out. Logical.
Very interesting tell me more about itEuropean predecessor was Poque, which caught on in France in the 17th century. Poque and its German equivalent, pochen, were both based on the 16th-century Spanish game primero, which featured three cards dealt to each player and bluffing (or betting high on poor cards) as a key part of the game
