Poker is a game of skill, chance and bluffing. It can be played at home, socially, or professionally for thousands of dollars. There are hundreds of variations on the rules of the game.<\/p>\n
In order to win a pot, the player with the best hand must beat the highest hands in the pot. The lowest hand is 7-5-4-3-2 in two or more suits. Some poker games may split the pot between the highest and the lowest hands.<\/p>\n
Players bet into the pot in a round, or interval. Each interval begins with a player’s bet, and the betting continues until everyone folds.<\/p>\n
A player can raise the current open bet. Another player can match it, or call the bet.<\/p>\n
If no other players call, a showdown occurs. When the last player has revealed his hand, the winner is the player with the best hand.<\/p>\n
If more than one person has the same hand, the ties are broken by a high card. For example, if two people have a pair of kings, the king breaks the tie.<\/p>\n
After the ties are broken, another interval of betting follows. This is called a “showdown”. At this point, all of the remaining players have to reveal their cards.<\/p>\n
The game of Poker is most often played with chips. Each chip is worth a certain amount of money. Chips can be white, blue, or dark. White chips are usually the least valued. Red chips are the most valuable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
