Poker Strategy Poker, poker everywhere ... just how
many games are there? I've been able to identify at least
120 different games that claim to be poker, in one form
or another: Chicago, five-card draw, five-card stud, Texas
hold'em, Omaha, low ball, seven-cards, whiskey poker, and
of course strip poker. The game we know today was developed
in the US in the early 1800s. Some scholars believe that
brag, a type of mini-poker game popular in the UK, is the
true ancestor of poker. Others believe the game comes from
New Orleans, from the French game poque. But regardless
of where it originated, poker has become a billion-dollar-a-year
industry.
