Who Loves Hold'em?

Texas Hold'em is a version of poker that has recently been aired on cable television. This was a huge thing for the players of the now world famous game that no one can seem to get away from. But you have to know alot more then how to play the game if you want to sit at a table with the players in the world poker tour.
Although poker is a game of statistics, you must also play the person. This is that main reason players come to the table with strange attire. 75% of people in the tour wore hats and at least 15% of them wore sun glasses. The more you can cover your face the harder it is to read that person.
Looking into some ones eyes is the easiest way to tell if they are lying. Much of poker is about lying which at the table is known as bluffing. If you remember correctly, Chris Moneymaker, had the bluff of the decade. He turned his 100 dollars that he paid to enter an online poker match into 5 million dollars after he became the 2004 world series of poker champion, placing him name on the wall with poker legends dating back to the mid 90's. Poker is a game of statistics; don't forget to bring your money.
