Poker is one of the most popular card games due to its simplicity. Anyone can learn the rules of poker very quickly and all you need to play is a pack of cards and some poker chips for betting. Whilst poker is classified as a sport, there are still people who believe that it is a game of luck and that there is no way to keep winning repeatedly. In fairness, this is true in the short run, but in the long run poker is solely based on strategy and skill. Maths has become vitally important, and it factors into so many aspects of poker.
