		<title>Poker Facts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Poker has reached its zenith as the most popular card game of all times and is believed to be around since the 1500â€™s.  It has its origins from ancient Persia, was then called â€œas nasâ€? and was thought to be brought by Persian sailors to America via New Orleans to the French Settlers in 1803.  Highly-esteemed forms of literature like Jonathan H. Greenâ€™s â€œAn Exposure of the Arts and Miseries of Gamblingâ€? in 1843 and Joe Cowellâ€™s â€œThirty Years Passed Among the Players in England and Americaâ€? in 1844 shows that poker has been around for ages.  

When United States dispatched the American Expeditionary force to Great Britain during World War I, poker instantaneously gained popularity among the British and was even hailed as United Statesâ€™ National Card Game during those times.  Indeed, poker grew to so much status that casinos offering it now abound the whole world and a tournament dedicated entirely to the game called the World Series of Poker is now shown in ESPN.  Pokerâ€™s fame did not stop there, however.  Nowadays, with the advent of the internet, various online poker websites can be found in the web.  ]]></description>
