Texas Hold'em is just one variation of poker, a game which is said to have its origins in Persia. Played centuries ago by the Persians, the less developed game of poker made its way to Germany and was known as a bluffing game named "Pochen". Later, yes way before it the online casino was even thought of, the French adapted a similar version of German poker and named it "Poque". The French bought Poque to New Orleans, where the popularity spread to the west. If you have ever seen any wild west movie or television show, then you have definitely seen those men play some good old fashion poker.
