[IMG]http://www.toppokersites.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/onlinepoker-300x164.jpg[/IMG]The  game of poker may go back as far as 200 years, but the online version  as we know it today is only a mere 13 years old. The first virtual poker  hand was dealt over the Internet on January 1, 1998 when the very first  online poker site was launched, Planet Poker. Planet Poker was founded  by poker pro, author, and legend, Mike “Mad Genius” Caro and is still in  existence today, though it quit taking real money bets in March 2007  following the UIGEA fiasco (more on that later). The first real-money  poker game was a Texas Hold ‘em game of $3/$6 stakes. Although Planet  Poker was the first online poker room, it failed to tap into the crowds  of players waiting to be summoned.

I was reading this tonight and thought it was very interesting to share with other players that might not of known when online poker was first played.
