1:Great and really inspirational article! Like chess, poker should be considered as a mind game, not gambling. It is one of the best games for brain exercise which sharpen observation and decision-making skills. Adda52.com is a great online poker website in India which is putting best of its efforts to ensure that poker gets the recognition and attention it deserves.
