Poker is truly a game of skill, strategy and wit. And many are in agreement with this thinking too. From Barney Frank in the USA, to President Barack Obama – a known poker player.

It is true that poker strategy has nothing to do with luck – it’s all about learning the game from the inside out. It’s about learning how to manage the flop, the draw, the calls, the bets and the bluffs. But more so it’s about learning about people, their styles and their behavior.

With all that prize money and silverware up for grabs it’s no wonder that online casinos are offering players the chance to go to poker school before they game for real money.
