Traditionally, Poker was played with 52-card packs, but some variant games use more than one deck of cards. There are also poker games that allow the use of wild cards.

The basic goal of poker is to win by accumulating a pot. In the case of a draw, the pot is divided among all players. During betting, players may bluff by making a bet they think they have a better hand than the other players. This may win the pot for them.

In most poker games, a standard deck of cards is used. Each card has four suits: hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. Neither of these suits ranks higher than any other.

A straight flush is a five-card hand in which all the cards have the same suit. The straight flush is also known as the Royal Flush. In a straight flush, the ace can be high or low. If there is more than one five of a kind hand, the higher card wins.

Poker is a card game that can be played with a group of players, but in most cases, it is played with chips. Poker chips are usually red or black in color. These chips are easier to count than cash.

Before the game starts, the dealer assigns values to the chips. Each chip represents a different amount of money.

The first bet is made by the player to the left of the big blind. The second bet is made by the player to the right of the big blind.
