Playing cards is a favorite pass time in our countries. We have a lot of popular local card games but poker is not very popular here. You can certainly play poker if you visit local casinos, but most of the people playing pokers are tourists, I haven't see a lot of local play poker. Is poker popular in your country?

I'm Canadian, and I think Canada is one of the most popular countries for poker. We also have a few Canadians on PCF.

It's somewhat popular in England. I went to University(College for most of you) and joined a poker society on campus, with a cash buy in tournament too!

Also a fair amount of people in England know the rules, and have come across it some during thier life.

Lastly(so far at least ) we haven't introduced crazy rules that make it impossible for people to profit from it. So numbers are reasonably high. We also hold the record for the highest amount of entrants in a tournament in the whole world, and that's including Vegas.
