Playing cards were invented in China by courtesans who couldn't afford expensive hand-carved dominoes, so they made cheaper ones out of paper, another Chinese invention. @@Tom_277
Fun Fact: As the video shows, “Wild Bill” Hickok was found dead holding a Queen, two Aces, and two eights; what is now referred to as the “Dead Man’s Hand”.
"Of course I lied. It's poker," said Tony G to Phil Hellmuth once Hellmuth realized that Tony had lied when he said that he hadn't looked at his hand. Tony had AK and won the pot and Hellmuth was salty 😂😅
I had classmates play poker during lunch, we would use snacks as a way to bet, but I didn’t learn about game theory until this summer. I also didn’t learn about its uses in war-far until this video. This was an enjoyable video
Technically it's the prisoner's dilemma that inspired the core game theory concepts of studying cooperation vs hostility. I highly recommend to watch the latest near 20 minutes video from Vertasium on this exact topic of game theory and it's uses in geopolitics and other areas of day to day life.
I recall my friend group had a poker phase, we only gambled chips without value, but it was really exciting whenever someone had all the chips, made it feel like they were king/queen. We would reset the chip account every weekend or so and start over, the strats becoming more cunning over time

What separates Poker from Brag is checking. In Poker, you're allowed to check (to not bet but stay in the current hand) if either you made the Big Blind bet and no one raised it or if no one else has bet yet in a subsequent betting round. In Brag, you must either bet or fold every turn, so you can run out of chips fairly quickly if you're not careful.
I remember that game, when Tony G and Phill Hellmuth are playing this hand, when Tony said to Phill "I'm going all in, without looking" and Phill believed him having a bad hand and then Tony Said "OF COURSE I LIED ITS POKER"
Oh that quote from Tony at the beginning “of course I lied, it’s poker!” When he lied to Phil helmuth about if he was betting blind or not. Watching Phil lose it was awesome. I love them both. Watching them bicker is like chefs kiss.
It reminds me of Terence Hill's "accidentally" flipped hand from Odds and Evens. If you look up 'Terence Hill Odds and Evens showing hand' on image search, it should be in the first 5 hits. Also: that film is gold.
Texas Holdem taps in to humanity: 1. 80% skill, 20% luck 2. Understanding of psychology, and manipulation of it 3. Presentation vs. reality 4. High risk, high reward 5. Ego Texas Holdem has all of this, and so it's no wonder it's so popular.
Remind me of one of poker game (with story) named Card Shark. The game itself encourage players to play with cheat while doing Poker at France society.
I wish you can make a video about the stand off and rivalry between Britain and France through out history which determined the fate of the modern world beginning with the Norman invasion and throughout the one hundred years war, the seven year war, and the napoleonic wars. The factors the tipped the scale in favor of the British, etc.
Poker origins are believed to stem from different card games in Europe and Asia, gradually morphing into the game we recognize today. The 19th-century United States played a pivotal role in its evolution, with poker gaining traction in various forms, from community games on riverboats to smoky saloons during the Gold Rush era. The game continued to evolve and gain popularity, especially in the 20th century, with variants like Texas Hold'em capturing the imagination of players worldwide. Nowadays online platforms popularize this game 😁. Do you think it's legal to play poker online, isn't it more like a gamble.
Everyone can play, but most people play badly. The beauty of the game is that the odds are mostly still pretty good for the player that's behind, so bad players will still win more than they would in most other games. That keeps them in. The winning player works out how to use that information over large time scales.
And regardless of the version of poker, the ranks on hands (from best hand down to worst hand) are based on rarity of natural occurrence (no wild cards/no cheating) in Five Card Stud.
I'll never forger when I first started playing Hold em. It was right after the 2002 WSOP when Varkoni won it. My friend had a table and we would go over his house once a week. We were all Soph in HS. Then in 2003 it got huge cause of the late night poker show on the travel channel, and then Moneymaker winning on ESPN. Fun times man.
I began to play poker on discord and discovered a game full of mysticism, variance but strategy. I always loved games like go and chess but poker has something special. A magical aspect that seems to never amaze because of the different stories that are told every hand. That being said, it is still a betting game, so one has to remain aware of the dangers of not managing your bankroll correctly.
It is the variant with the perfect balance of having the most concealed information, while still having public information. Also, a lot of credit has to go to ESPN's coverage of the main event in 2003. Many people say it was the "Moneymaker effect", but I disagree. While I also started playing poker because of that tournament, I didn't care about him, I just found the coverage of the tournament to be entertaining and I wanted to play.
I really think what made Texas Holdem a great game for tournaments and television is the fact that when a small pair vs 2 high cards get all in before the flop it is very close to a coin flip for who will win the hand
If you fully shuffle a deck you will get a sequence of 52 cards that has never been duplicated in the past, and should take a million years to be replicated in the future
@@DefundtheIRS1776 is it? i figured with the amount of people playing poker at any given time there would be sure to be a repeat so i figure it'd actually be **lower** than a million idk
@@gas-drawls The number of unique orderings is 52! = 8 * 10^67. Estimating the 52 card deck originated around the year 1500, gives about 500 years of shuffles, you would need 4.4 * 10^62 unique shuffles each day to get them all by now. That doesn't mean two random shuffles weren't the same, just incredibly unlikely. Going for 10^59 years brings it down to only 2 million unique shuffles per day before a card ordering is repeated. With the number casinos, number of tables/decks in each casino, plus everyone else playing with a deck of cards in the world, that seems very reasonable across the entire world, just have to keep shuffling.
@@acoupleofschoes let's give a well-overestimated 100 shuffles per person on the planet per day, that'd be 800 billion or 8 x 10^11 shuffles per day. so we need 10^56 days - or 2.7 x 10^53 years - to get a duplicated shuffle. That's, what, 270 thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion years? Better yet, let's say each person on the planet was running a supercomputer that could churn out 1 million shuffles per second. Then that'd be 8 billion x 1 million x 86,400 shuffles per day = 6.9 x 10^20 shuffles per day, requiring 1.2 x 10^47 days or 3 x 10^44 years to cover them all - that's 300 million trillion trillion trillion years. A perfect NCAA bracket will be made trillions of times over before a random shuffle is duplicated. You can bet on it.
it’s ironic that the quote “of course i lied… it’s poker.” came from a hand where Tony G bluffed with the goods. Tony G said multiple times that he hadnt looked at his cards (he did look but no one saw him) so that his opponent Phil Hellmuth would put all of his chips in the pot. It was like a bluff inside of a bluff.
James McManus? HE CALLED ME WITH JACK HIGH! I'll see myself out. Kidding aside, Cowboys Full is a pretty cool book. Check it out if you're at all interested in the pokers.
I didn’t know what “Texas Hold ‘Em” was, apart from Beyoncé. I always had a hunch it was a game she was referring to. The more ya know, I hate lottery anyways. Lmae 😂😂
fun fuct: term river (last round of betting) is called river because on the river pot is biggest so it was also most lucrative place for cheating if they catch someone they throw him in to to river(as mention was often played on the ships )
With out watching the video I'll take a guess. It's TV. You have the cards on the table that the audience can see and they only have to keep track of 2 cards in each players hand. Much easier than other forms where there's 5-7 card in each players hand. Also flipping those cards out adds suspense and drama
Poker is the ultimate American game. A man can walk in with nothing and walk out with a fortune simply by his own skill, luck, and sheer force of will.

A similar thing happened in my wedding class. Sometimes, usually when the teacher was out, some of the guys would play poker in the classroom.
