There are many theories about the history of poker

There are many theories about the history of poker , although no theory has been conclusively proven. One theory is that poker developed out of the German card game pochspiel. Like poker, pochspiel includes betting, hand rankings and bluffing. However, poker is also very similar to the Persian game as nas, and R.F. Foster wrote that “the game of poker, as first played in the US… is undoubtedly the Persian game of as nas”. There was also a French casino holdem game called poque;like this game and pochspiel, the name poker is derived from the German word pochen, which means to brag and bluff. Another view is that poker developed earlier than these games, and originated in the Mississippi River Delta before 1800, and spread to the West through miners who headed to California during the 19th century gold rush. Early forms of poker differed significantly from the modern version played now, with 20-card versions, 52-card versions, straight and stud poker all being popular at one time or another. However, poker as we know it was popularized after the 1970′s.

Daniel Negreanu VS Michael Minkoff the sage continues

Daniel Negreanu VS Michael Minkoff the sage continues
Gossip, Poker March 28th, 2012 Daniel Negreanu has renamed Michael Minkoff aka ProfessionalPoker as the banhammer. He mocks Michael Minkoff continuously in his weekly vlog. Michael Minkoff has unjustly been banning people on Two Plus Two and this has led to a severe backlash. Most likely the owners of Two PlusTwo are attempting to drive more traffic to the site by becoming more involved in thread other than Strategy. This is like an ugly madam trying to boost business in a whore house by taking on new customers by insulting them and kicking them out the door. (I just thought Id add to all the Malmuth analogies coming up.). Fret no more Mason and Minkoff, Full Tilt Poker might be back this week or next and the site will be booming again! Think of better things you can do for your forum than alienating your users. 888 will probably come and swallow you up very soon!

Titans Again Dominate $200,000 Guaranteed
Posted by Steven, March 5, 2012 Last week, Titan Pokers players captured the top three places in the $200,000 Guaranteed. Last night, Titan Poker players continued their domination of the event, taking the top two spots. A total of 1,166 players started the Sunday night tournament, the biggest guaranteed prize tournament on Titan Pokers weekly schedule. The large starting field drove up the prize pool to $233,200 and the action lasted 11 hours. Four Titan Poker players finished in the top ten. Czech player azaque47 was eliminated in tenth place for a $2005.52 payout and Swedish player stentaxxiAA finished in eighth place for a $4,547.40 prize. Going into heads-up play, Canadian player DosPerros was slightly ahead of Spanish player KLAUSS88 in chips. But four hands later, the Canadian pushed pre-flop with pocket fives and KLAUSS88 was glad to respond by going all-in with his pocket tens. A ten on the flop, accompanied by an ace, and another ace on the turn, completed the full house for the Spanish player and he took the lead in the one-on-one battle. On the final hand of the tournament, KLAUSS88 was ahead by a 9-1 factor, but his A 6 was slightly behind the A T of the DosPerros. However, the A J 6 on the flop gave him the two pairs to knock out the Canadian from the tournament. For his first place finish, KLAUSS88 received $39,644. Second place was worth $29,150 for DosPerros.
