Message: [QUOTE="dreamer13, post: 7015530, member: 487083"] Online poker recently turned 26 years old. The very first online poker room in history was called Planet Poker and it was launched in 1998.The first hand was dealt online on January 1, 1998 at Planet Poker. After them, other poker sites entered the market: first Paradise Poker, and then such now popular rooms as PokerStars and partypoker.Planet Poker has not survived to this day. Poker is harder to play now than it was 20 years ago.The real online poker boom happened in 2003, when Chris Moneymaker became the first person to win the World Series of Poker Main Event after qualifying on an online poker site. His story inspired many of today's successful poker players and made the game what it is today. [/QUOTE]
