			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/><br/><br/>Before you start learning a poker game, you will always wonder which one you should start playing first. You can keep on asking people around you, or go to the casinos to check which game is the easiest and most fun to play, and eventually decide. However, no matter what your sources are, or what advice you have been given, the answer would always be Texas Hold&#8217;em.<br/><br/>This game is the most popular of all poker games, and unlike the 7 star stud or Omaha High, you do not have to start counting cards so as to calculate your odds for winning. The rules of this game are easy, and the secrets quite intriguing, so that your lifetime dedication to a table packed with cards is well assured.<br/><br/>• Everyone at this game would like to be in the tight grip of tension and apprehension for the next moves. But all those dramatic moments and risky bets can hardly land you anywhere safe. It is not necessary that you keep on playing the same hand for over an hour. You have to know that any money not bet is money not lost. If you do not get a good hand, you can pretty easily and smartly fold your cards by calling it a flop. You can do much better to wait for a better hand than lose money on the lousy ones. Patience is thus the essential trick to victory.<br/><br/>• The second trick to remember is that you play with the best weapons in the field, and nothing short of a winning hand should therefore, be used. You might feel that if you wait for the right hand, you might lose out on all the chances and money. But actually, you are wrong. There are many lousy players who cannot stick to their game long enough to draw in all the chips on the table because they keep playing every hand. They are the &#8220;jack of all trades, Master of nothing&#8221;. You have to play only when you are sure of your success.<br/><br/>• Third point to remember is that it does not matter how much money you make, what matters is how you make it. When you have a losing hand, call it a flop and fold, or if you are willing to play on, try to tighten the purse strings so that only a few chips can slip out of your fingers. When you have a winning hand, however, try to rake in as much as possible, and keep calling the right shots. This way, you can make a lot of money from your winning hands, while lose very little when you have no luck!<br/><br/>• Another secret to every success at the games of poker is to have the ability to read other players&#8217; moves. People react to different situations in their unique ways, and you have to read and know all the signs so as to be ready. For example, loosing players like to bluff a lot. You only have to raise their bet so as to judge how they react. In this way, you can certainly tell if someone has a winning hand or not.<br/><br/>• Many tight players play the &#8220;Nuts&#8221; or the winning hand quiet early in the game. This will allow you the access to raise big bets later and steal their pots from them. If they try to steal a pot, you can raise their initial bet and see how they react. They will fold if they feel that your hand is better, but if they make a quick call, you should know that they are sure that they have the winning position and so you should stay away.<br/><br/>These secrets will help you to win your game and earn the money that you desire for. These secrets are your little tricks that could ensure your smooth way to success, no matter how difficult the challenge is. So, have these tips at the tips of your fingers, and start winning from today!<br/><br/><br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/><br/><br/>What is Texas Hold&#8217;em: Texas hold &#8216;em (or simply hold &#8216;em or holdem) is the most popular of the community card poker games. It is the most popular poker variant played in casinos in the western United States, and its no-limit form is used in the main event of the World Series of Poker (abbreviated WSOP), widely recognized as the world championship of the game.<br/><br/>How Texas Hold&#8217;em poker came to be is a popular debate topic among history-mongers and poker players. Some believe that the history of Texas Hold&#8217;em poker began in China in 900 A.D.<br/><br/>According to findings in history, Texas Hold&#8217;em poker had its earliest roots from the &#8220;domino card&#8221; game that was a popular pastime of Emperor Mu-tsung. The emperor has been reported to have played the game wit his wife on New Year&#8217;s Eve, 969 A.D. The date is believed as some as the birth date of the history of Texas Hold&#8217;em poker.<br/><br/>But history was changed when archaeologists found fragments of cards that are reminiscent of the cards used in Texas Hold&#8217;em poker. These relics from 12th or 13th century Egypt made a great impact on the history of the game. This important discovery on the history of Texas Hold&#8217;em poker led them to believe that modern cards used in Texas Hold&#8217;em poker originated from the Indian card game, Ganjifa.<br/><br/>A Persian game called &#8220;as nas&#8221; is also believed to be a precursor of the modern Texas Hold&#8217;em poker game, according to history. As Nas is also a bluffing game of five cards. But the deck used in As Nas is composed of 25 cards of 5 suits each, unlike the deck used in Texas Hold&#8217;em poker where there are 52 5-suited cards. Even so, many people believe that Texas Hold&#8217;em poker could trace back its history to the ancient game of As Nas.<br/><br/>According to history, Persian sailors were said to have taught the game to the Germans during the 16th or 17th century, who called in &#8220;Pochen&#8221; and passed it on to the French. At this point in history, the game came to be known as &#8220;Poque&#8221; and employed the modern Texas Hold&#8217;em poker technique of bluffing.<br/><br/>The French brought this earlier version of Texas Hold&#8217;em poker to their settlements in New Orleans. From there, the history of Texas Hold&#8217;em poker traveled up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. It was this point in time that the history of Texas Hold&#8217;em poker began to show consistency. Word of the game spread over the whole of United States through wagon trails, and later on, through rail tracks.<br/><br/>When the Civil War that changed the annals of American history occurred, Texas Hold&#8217;em poker experienced another drastic change. It was here that Texas Hold&#8217;em poker began to adopt the traditional English version deck of cards. The Texas Hold&#8217;em poker deck is composed of 52 cards with 5 suits &#8211; diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades. The &#8220;joker&#8221;, the Texas Hold&#8217;em poker wild card, was also introduced in 1875.<br/><br/>Know your limit and play within it&#8230;<br/><br/><br/><br/></p>
