In the last five years, poker has taken this country by storm. Poker tournaments are shown on dozens of television channels. It’s played by tens of millions people in every corner of America – in casinos, online, and in countless amounts of dingy, smoke-filled basements. It’s played by the young, by the old, by the skinny, and by the overweight. It’s played by men and women, black and white, Indian and Asian.

And that is the biggest appeal of poker. Anyone and everyone can learn how to play it, and become successful. As long as you understand the basic rules, have a mathematical mind, and can think quickly and decisively, you can enjoy popular poker games such as Texas Hold ‘Em and Omaha. Read more…

19 years old kid plays poker real money

A 19-year old cashed out mulit – million dollars pot. Harrison Gimbel recently  graduated from The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens this past spring. At his 19 he plays poker for real money.

“It’s just a great feeling,” Gimbel told CBS 12 by phone from the Bahamas. “I’m the youngest main event champion ever. I couldn’t ask for anything better right now.”

The teenager says he started playing poker with friends six years ago. “Poker’s really just a game of skill,” observed Gimbel. “It’s a lot like chess, where it’s like a mind game.”

And he’s gotten really good at it. The Bahamas tournament had more than 1,500 participants, each putting up $10,000 to play.

What’s Gimbel going to do with the $2.2 million dollar prize? “I’m probably going to get myself a new car,” responded Gimbel, explaining that he currently drives a 1999 Jeep Cherokee that doesn’t work very well.

He’ll also likely play more poker. Since one has to be 21 to play tournaments in the United States, he’s limited to overseas events for a couple more years.

“My plans might include playing some more tournaments around the world and practice my skills by play online poker games,” said Gimbel.  “Just travel the world, while I do what I love”
