Poker Phenomenon!

Within the last two years poker has become a huge craze among 15 to 30 year old people, mostly male. Along with live games, the Internet has helped facilitate the popularization of the game through online poker websites. Me and my boyfriend live together and almost every minute of the day when he has nothing else to do, he is playing online poker! However, he just bought a program that helps calculate the odds of him winning depending on the cards he has been dealt and the cards on the table. The way the program works is it sees the cards he has initially and states what his likely hood will be of overall winning depending on the possible hands he might receive. When the first round of betting happens, depending on how many people fold, call, or raise, it recalculates his odds. This continues until the hand is over.
I do not know if many of you play poker, but it is a game of strategy, and statistics become a large part of this. If one knows the probability of them getting a good hand, they can play smarter and hopefully win the pot! Poker is a card game, so there is an amount of luck to it, however, if you understand game theory, your chances of winning is significantly heightened.
