The popularity of poker is exploding around the country. This year the World Series of Poker had over 800 players. The broadcasts of the World Poker Tour tournaments on the Travel Channel have become one of the most popular shows. With the expanded media coverage, more and more people are becoming interested in trying their hand at a game and are flocking to the poker rooms. This is both good news and bad news for skilled players. The good news is that more players bring more money to the tables. However with the increasing amount of good books and articles about the games it means that the learning curve for these new players will be shorter for those who apply themselves in learning to play correctly.
Skilled players will need to do everything possible to stay a jump ahead of the growing competition. This years World Poker Players Conference is designed to do just that for those who are serious about their game.
Some of the top professional players and authors will be on hand to share their winning tips and secrets. Some of the guest speakers and topics to be covered include:
