Just after the beginning of the year 2000 the World Series Poker has serially produced 8 champions winning millions of dollars as a prize money;  Chris Ferguson, Carlos Mortensen, Robert Varkyoni, Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, Joseph Hachem, Jamie Gold and Jerry Yang. The World Series of Poker is common to the skilled pro.  Anyone regardless of race, color or creed can participate in this event and the results are pretty transparent and real and there is not going to be any hide and seek in the way the cards are dealt.  No game fixing either.  The pro wins the stunning money prize.

No limit holdem, limit Omaha, stud, Razz, HORSE and almost all variants are played in the World Series Poker.  If you are strongly practicing to win you need to know how to play each poker variant, not just to play, but to play it better.  The strong hands varies for each kind of game, the strategy is going to differ for every card and every player, the odds and calculation of odds is going to be a whole lot of different thing for each game.  Mastering poker and eventfully winning in World Series Poker is a big achievement indeed. It is almost as equal to making a successful doctorate degree in Poker technology.  May be sometime in the future there might be poker degrees affiliated to reputed Universities.

Big corporations like World Series Poker might promote poker research.  The World Series Poker has already got records of nearly 4 decades of hand histories.  If a team will be organized to research on the hands that have been played in the World Series Poker a great poker University can be established.  There can be some point in time where the reverse will happen:  Today we use mathematics to play poker better.  In the future we can expect to use poker to understand mathematics better! How does that sound? Unreal! “Nobody did accept that the world is round” when it was first proposed!
