Message: [QUOTE="Chemist, post: 4237241, member: 55995"] Hi, if I can just make a slight suggestion, surely you read the rest of the wikipedia entry and not just the one line. Poker certainly evolved from earlier card games and was influenced by others. The french game Poque could have been influenced by the 17th Century 'As Nas' as much as the earlier 16th Century English game Bragg. I don't think we can attribute the evolution of poker to a derivation of just one game. All we can say for sure is that poker matured in the 18th century around the mississippi river from an amalgamation of all the card and betting games being played by the many people from different international backgrounds in that region. I entirely agree though that online poker should be open to all and hasn't been the same since many countries national governments started legislatively restricting it, sometimes with full bans and others with taxation. I also found it refreshing that friendly communities could grow where 'People' could communicate civilly with each other over a shared interest, even when their country governments were at war with each other. All we can say for sure is that in this respect poker is good for humanity and does more for world peace than governance. It is indeed a twisted funny world that allows the few to control the many against their natural will, but it is 'a twisted funny world'. I hope they let you in. In the meantime I hope you enjoy the cardschat worldwide poker community which does let everyone in and is a good place to spend some time even without poker. [/QUOTE]
