It is a game of chance and skill, and can be played with as few as two players or as many as fourteen. The object of the game is to win a pot, which contains all of the bets placed by players during a betting round. Players can use cash or chips to place their bets. Chips are often preferred because they are easier to count and manage.<\/p>\n<p>Each betting round, or interval, begins when a player puts in chips into the pot equal to the amount of the bet made by the player to their left. Other players may &#8220;call&#8221; the bet, raise it or drop out. Dropping out means that a player discards their hand and stops competing for the pot.<\/p>\n<p>Once the first betting round is complete the dealer deals three cards face-up to the table, which are called the flop. Then everyone still in the hand gets a chance to bet again. This is called the Turn. Finally the dealer deals a fifth card that everyone can use, this is called the River.<\/p>\n<p>The highest poker hand wins the pot. The best possible hand is a Straight Flush which consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence. A player may also win with a High Pair, which is two cards of the same rank. In the event of a tie the winnings are shared. The key to success is to read your opponents. This can be done from subtle physical poker tells, or by looking for patterns in a player&#8217;s behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poker is a card game in which players place bets against one another based on the value of their poker hand.
