Poker's favorite game of recent, Texas Holdem, has not only become a hit on the television screen. This game is as hot as ever online and people of all ages are cashing in. Jordan Berkowitz, a highly successful online player at the age of 17, placed 7th among 843 players in the 2004 World Championship of Online Poker. Chris Moneymaker, a 29-year-old former accountant and online poker player, won the 2003 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas with a jackpot worth $2.5 million. The money is out there and you don't even have to have a "poker face".
People like to gamble at these sites because they're great places to learn the game. However, before playing online it is suggested that you are familiar with how to play, the hierarchy of hand rankings, and a few playing tips to give you better grounding.
