Poker

If you're playing a poker game
and you look around the table
and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.

- Paul Newman

Poker Card Game Poker ChipsPoker is a popular card game played in casinos and home game nights around the nation. "Texas Hold'em" (see rules here) and "Five Card Stud" are examples of popular types of poker games.

Basic Poker Information

Poker is a family of card games that share betting rules and usually (but not always) hand rankings. Poker games differ in how the cards are dealt, how hands may be formed, whether the high or low hand wins the pot in a showdown (in some games, the pot is split between the high and low hands), limits on bets and how many rounds of betting are allowed. In most modern poker games, the first round of betting begins with some form of forced bet. The action then proceeds to the left. Each player in turn must either match the maximum previous bet or fold, losing the amount bet so far and all further interest in the hand. A player who matches a bet may also raise, increasing the bet. The betting round ends when all players have either matched the last bet or folded. If all but one player fold on any round, the remaining player collects the pot without showing their hand. If more than one player remains in contention after the final betting round, the hands are shown and the winning hand takes the pot.
