Poker is a card game that has both elements of chance and skill. It can be very fast paced and players usually place chips or cash into the betting pot when it is their turn. Players may also “raise” which means that they will increase the amount of money that they are betting by adding a new bet to the existing bets on the table.<\/p>\n
When a player has a pair or higher (Ace high, Two pairs, Three of a kind, Four of a kind, Flush, Straight, Royal flush) they win the hand. If no one has a pair or higher, the highest card breaks ties.<\/p>\n
During the game, each player is dealt two cards and there are five community cards that are shared amongst all players. A player must make the best five card hand using their own two cards and the community cards. After a few rounds of betting, the 5th card is dealt (“River”) and the showdown occurs. The player who has the best hand wins the “pot” which is all of the chips that have been bet so far on the hand.<\/p>\n
