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

Poker is a card game played between 2 to 14 players with the objective of winning a pot consisting of all bets placed in any one deal. It is believed that the game derives from a variety of earlier vying games including Belle (French, 17th and 18th centuries), Flux & Trente-un (German, 17th century), Post & Pair (English, early 19th century), Brelan (French, late 16th and early 18th centuries) and Bouillotte (late 18th to early 19th century, French and American).<\/p>\n

Each player starts with two cards and must use them plus 5 community cards to make a “hand.” The player with the best hand wins the pot. Each player must place in the pot enough chips to equal the amount bet by the person before them.<\/p>\n

A player may open betting by saying “raise.” When this happens, the other players can choose to call or raise the bet or fold their cards.<\/p>\n

A hand is ranked based on its highest value card. High cards include ace, king, queen, and jack. A straight is a series of five consecutive cards of the same rank; for example, three sixes. Two pair is a hand that contains two matching cards, such as two jacks or two sixes. A flush is a series of five matching cards, including the ace. Bluffing is an important part of the game and can be done with words, gestures, and body language. A good poker player must know their tells, or unconscious habits that give away information about their hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
