This is a bit confusing if you realise you don't know the history of something where you involved and very often we forget about it. I think very low % of people learn history of poker and I am not who was interested in it, grind takes alot of time

Unfortunately the origins of poker aren't certain but it's interesting to read about the various possibilities.

I'm just glad poker is here and don't mind too much about not knowing how & where it came into existence...

The article could have certainly done with proofing for spelling & grammar!

Enjoyed reading it nonetheless. [emoji1303]

The first mention of a gold bracelet dates back to 1976, it looked like a gold plate and cost about $ 500.


In 1980, the jeweler Mordechai Yerushalmi from Las Vegas became the exclusive bracelet producer and remained until 2004. In 2005, Gold and Diamond International won a tender for the design and production of new bracelets. C 2007 bracelets produced by Corum.


The cost of the bracelet is not disclosed, but it is a jewel. For example, in 2008, the bracelet for the Main Event bore 291 diamonds with a total value of 2.81 carats on 168-gram 18-carat white gold.

Thank you, this is interesting and informative. Indeed, poker came to us from antiquity and is the union of various games.
I searched and found another version of the appearance of poker.
In the 18th century, the card game Tiin Party was popular in india. It was played with a deck of cards consisting of 52 cards, also blind bets (blinds) were used in the game and there were several rounds of betting.

laying poker in Russia is always a game for money, which is why for a long time it was considered a game of gambling rather than sports, which was very detrimental to development and popularization. Most poker fans have been able to play since 1993, when the first casinos began to open in Russia. But the game against casinos is not at all as interesting as against real people, so poker enthusiasts began to strive to be awarded the status of a sports game, as was done in a number of European countries.

As is known, their struggle was crowned with success, but, unfortunately, not as quickly and not as long as we would like. At the beginning of the 21st century, a figure appears in the arena of Russian Poker, which played a huge role in its development on the territory of the Russian Federation, this is Dmitry Lesnoy, the organizer of the first poker school. Five years after this significant event, he also took part in the creation of the Federation of Sports Poker in Russia, which seriously began to conduct campaign work, and also to fight for the official assignment of the status of a sports game to poker.Poker does not destroy the politicians !!

Wow, never knew that China played a game close to poker before everyone else. India also was new to me. To think that poker is famous all over the world nowadays is unbelievable how big poker has gotten. I wish Five card Draw was WSOP event.
