Never thought of it, googled and it said it came from French word poque. I just like to play it..
Poker has been around since the 1800's and i have no idea why they call it that. But the name fits
The first version of poker was called "the lying game" and was played on the Mississippi steamboats by the gamblers.
The term itsef probably came from the French or German name "poque" which meant pocket and from poke because the game was pushing the gamblers too far.
Here is a tidbit of info I found about how poker got its name.
thanks for the info... i read that from google as well.. i also read another sites definition and it said no one really knows lol
Some things just dont matter, and well...umm.... lol

He is right... the word POKER gets Split up someway and it is 2 or 3 abbreviated word... someguy told me at Pub poker... lol i mighta been a little stoned completely forgotQuote:
