Texas Hold’Em Poker is the most popular poker variant to grace both land-based and online casinos.
Due to its appeal, the game has also infiltrated pop culture and gained a cult following. On a closer look, Texas Hold’ Em is just your ordinary poker game. Yet, the use of community cards, the bluffing, the strategies and of course, the big prize made it even more exciting.
It is this kind of excitement that made it a favorite subject of different films and television shows.
From casino tables to television shows
One of the reasons behind the extreme popularity of this game is its exposure to different media channels and of course, the internet.
In 1970 poker matches were already shown in televisions. However, it gained mass appeal when lipstick cameras were used to reveal the player’s hole cards.
Via giving the audience a peek into the hole card, it generated a cathartic effect. The public felt as if they are the ones involved in the game. It also put a test to one’s strategic acumen, thus, making the game even more challenging and intriguing.
Into the silver screen
Television shows can no longer contain Texas Hold’Em’s popularity that it had to be featured in movies.
Some of the well-known movies, which gave the game a cameo were The Cincinnati Kid, Rounders and Casino Royale.
Penetrating the literary scene
Texas Hold’ Em has been the subject of biographies. Professional players such as Anthony Holden and James McManus decided to publish their Texas Hold’Em exploits.
Through the years, the game’s appeal has never waned. And as it continues to thrill and excite, expect a surge in its followers.
