Poker: SO many different forms to play
Full tilt poker is the thing right now. A lot of my friends are really into poker and it has been on the rise for a while. The best part about poker is that here are so many ways that you can play.
You can have friends over for a poker game. My parents used to have a weekly game night where they would switch off with their friends and they would get together and play card games and drink and just hang out and relax. On the show Desperate Housewives they always get together to play poker and gossip. Poker used to be seen as more of a mans game and it really has changed over the years I think. Especially after the show came on and people saw that.
You can have a casino night for charity. My grade school had a casino night every year to raise money. The parents and PTA would deal and put on the casino night and then family members, members of the community and others would come out and have a great time playing poker and black jack and socializing. And then all of the money would go to the school and the kids.
You can play online. Full tilt poker has become popular and playing online is bigger than ever right now. A friend of mine won poker playing online and was entered and won a trip to the Bahamas to continue to play everything was paid for and he brought along friends and they had a great time. They went from playing in their frat house together and online to traveling and playing other people that enjoyed the game as well.
And of course you can go to Vegas or other casinos to play. The thing is, poker definitely isn't new, but I think that it took a little nap and is waking up now. It used to be a thing for older people to play but now younger kids (like high school and college) are really getting into it. There are so many different forms that you can play and get involved, that it makes it easy to want to. My friends and I decided to have a poker night every month just so that we can get together, maybe make (probably lose) a little money and just have a great time.
