英语词汇poker的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	poker
词源	poker; poker face. Poker takes its name from the French poque, for a similar card game, though the rules of the Persian game As Nas (played with five cards) and poque (played with three cards) were combined to make America’s characteristic gambling game. The game is mentioned as early as 1834 and probably dates back at least 10 years earlier. A poker face, a face that conceals all emotions, also comes from the card game, in which bluffing is an important tactic.
