Those could have been the days when our grand mom and mother discouraged the trips of our grandfather and father to casinos. They might have been scolding and fighting over their visits to the casinos for several reasons, because those were decades back a smoke filled environment where one can develop lot of bad habits. Though there were several clubs those days where one can play poker free without investing any money, the very visit to the casino was considered an act of financial irresponsibility by the middle income group. It was considered the game of the rich or the game of the irresponsible.



But today the case is totally different. The televised poker shows have caused several players to play poker free and then enter in to micro limit and macro limit games. The middle income group or the low income group or the rich no longer hesitate to walk in to a casino to play poker free or for money. There are several smoke free poker casinos.









The going of the poker online has encouraged almost everyone with a bit of knowledge to play poker free games.
