\"Poker\" <\/p>\n

Poker is a card game played by two or more players and with bets placed into a central pot. The game is played in many variants. The object of the game is to win the pot, which contains all bets made during a betting round. The player may choose to check (not make a bet), call (match the highest bet so far), raise, or fold his hand. If he folds, he forfeits any bets he has already placed into the pot.<\/p>\n

Each player receives two personal cards and five community cards that are revealed in the \u201cflop.\u201d The best possible hand is comprised of the pair in his own hand plus three of four of a kind in the community cards.<\/p>\n

During the first betting round, the dealer shuffles the cards, then deals them one at a time to each player starting with the person on his left. The dealer has the right to cut if any player wishes to do so.<\/p>\n

If the community cards make a strong poker hand, it is known as a full house. It beats a straight or a flush. It also beats a pair.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that you should only play with money that you can afford to lose. Ego can wreak havoc on your bankroll, regardless of how good you think you are. If you are battling against nine players who are better than you, chances are you\u2019re going to go broke sooner or later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
