Poker players with plenty of options in the web

Gone are the days when poker was played in back rooms by a handful of regular players. Now it seems as if you can't turn on the television without seeing coverage of a poker tournament or instructional show.

With the explosive popularity of poker, it was just a matter of time before someone added this popular game to the web. Internet is now home of several tournaments that pays tribute to the pastime and recent researches show increase in available online poker rooms giving players an unprecedented choice for entertainment venues.

Few years ago there were less than a dozen rudimentary poker sites, but today the numbers have climbed by more than 5 000 percent offering high volume network action on hundreds of sites with a range of games and big-money tournaments.

The increase in the number of online casinos has skyrocketed in the last few years, with larger businesses such as DoylesRoom.com actually sponsoring players in the live televised tournaments. Doyles Room also offers a free version, where you can play poker without actually investing any money.

There seems to be no slow down in the ratings for shows, so poker will be here for a long time to come.
