Texas HoldEm Poker Facebook Game Gains 100,000 New Players

While Facebook's most popular games are continuing to shed users -- likely due to changes the social network made last March to restrict application notification spam, according to Gamesutra.com - Texas HoldEm continues to gain players over the past month.

That game app increased to over 100,000 new players and a total of 28.6 million.

Texas HoldEm Poker, which is part of the Zynga family of Facebook games, was the second most popular after Farmville, which had 63.9 million players at last count.

These numbers are likely to increase with the 2010 World Series of Poker main event now underway in Las Vegas.

Texas HoldEm Poker consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed by the dealer-a series of three ("the flop") then two additional single cards ("the turn" and "the river"), with players having the option to check, bet or fold after each deal, i.e. betting may occur prior to the flop, "on the flop," "on the turn," and "on the river."
