Several people sit around a circular table and play poker. A group of players, each with five cards, compete to make the best hand possible. The player with the highest-ranking hand wins the pot. If a hand is tied, the highest card breaks the tie.<\/p>\n
The game begins with an ante, a small bet. The amount of the ante varies by game. The player who is first to act in the hand sits immediately to the left of the button.<\/p>\n
The first dealer is the person who has the highest card. The initial dealer shuffles the deck and deals cards one at a time to the players. The cards may be dealt face up or face down.<\/p>\n
After the initial dealer deals cards, a betting round begins. The bets are made in clockwise order. If a player folds, they discard their hand and lose any chips in the pot.<\/p>\n
The player who raises is the one who has the right to make the next bet. The amount of the next bet may be as large as the previous bet.<\/p>\n
The player who owes something to the pot calls. If the hand contains five cards, a pair of kings is not good off the deal. If it contains only four cards, it is considered a strong hand. The best hand is a straight flush. A straight flush contains all cards of the same suit. If there are two pairs of kings, one pair wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
