Poker is probably the most addictive gambling activity in both online and physical casinos. Unlike the past where poker tables were dominated by men, women and even teenagers enjoy placing their bets and entrusting their money’s fate to the cards they hold. However, like other gambling activities, poker can be very tricky. Because of the popularity of poker faces, you may not be able to assess whether you’re up against a professional player or an amateur. This assessment is important because it can help you estimate who you’re against and therefore strategize correctly before you play.
