Poker is a unique game at a Casino. Unlike every other game in the Casino, in poker, you are playing against the other players as opposed to playing against the house like in Black Jack, Craps, Roulette, etc. As you analyze the game and really understand poker, you quickly realize that it’s not a card game, it’s a people game.
