A book, An Exposure of the Arts and Miseries of Gambling written by Jonathan H. Green was published in 1843. It chronicled the spread of this game from New Orleans to other parts of the country by Mississippi riverboats, where it was a favorite pastime. The first operational poker game for the Internet was created in 1994 and the first online poker room was established in 1998. Since that time the game has experienced a boom and there are numerous online gaming venues.

What are the benefits of playing this betting card game online? One, it is less expensive than catching a flight to Las Vegas or other another destination. The cost of the airline trip plus lodging can be quite expensive. Add your meals and transportation to and from the airport as well as gratuities and you have less money to gamble. Spending $1000 to visit a city where you can gamble $300 is not as much fun as having the entire amount to play.

Another reason that online poker games are beneficial is because most sites have a program that will allow you to play without spending actual money to allow you to practice different games and polish your skills. When you think you are ready, you can advance to the real games. Another benefit is the ability to play poker no matter where you are - at home, the office, on a business trip - and you do not even have to get dressed.

Playing online will consist of a variety of games from Texas Hold'Em to 7 Card Stud to 5 Card Draw. The room you want to play in will feature the type of game being played. Each game will have an amount to ante. This is the amount that each player puts into the pot before the cards are dealt. The cards are dealt according to the game being played and the rules of the game will apply to determine the winner. Typically players bet, raise, call or fold. The player remaining in the game with the highest hand will win the pot.

The site that you choose will have a download button for the software to load to your computer. You will need to set up an account with a user name and password. When you have successfully completed these steps you will be ready to deposit the money you will use to play. There are a number of ways this may be done including credit cards and E-Wallets, which is a third-party funds transfer.
