Poker news from the best experts in this field.

To say that poker is a game of cards is to say that chess is a game of figures. Everything seems to be correct, but it absolutely does not reflect the essence of the game. Cards in poker are just one of the player's tools. And in many situations – not the most important thing. For example, Annette Obrestad (Norway) became a poker legend by winning a 180-person tournament on the Internet and only looking at her cards once during the entire tournament. To do this, she taped a part of the monitor with tape.

Well, to dispel possible doubts about the level of Annette's professionalism, here are some facts about her:

- she is considered the most successful poker player from Norway according to the results of offline tournaments (her prize money for her career is almost twice as much as that of the player in the second position);

- the youngest holder of the World Poker Series bracelet (18 years old);

- she won the very first Main Event of the World Poker Series in Europe (2007);

- she still holds the record for the largest first prize won by a woman ($2.01 million).

But since a player cannot claim the pot without cards in his hands – a few words about them.

So, the most popular type of poker now is No Limit Texas Hold'em (No Limit Texas Hold'em, or NLTH). "Unlimited" means that during your turn you are in any situation (with the exception of literally 1-2) you can go all-in ("all-in" in poker language).
