The gaming phenomenon of the past decade, i.e. poker in general and internet poker specifically, still shows no signs of letting up in growth or popularity in 2011. Paradoxically, despite the evidence which shows internet poker playing is increasing in the United States -- technically not exactly legal by federal law -- that country's law enforcement has occasionally cracked down on those running such websites.

Whether you just want to see who's winning or are concerned about the state of online poker today, this page is a good start for you. Alongside industry news, LiveCasinoDirect presents stories of actual poker playing itself right through to the big one, the World Series of Poker.
