Poker is a card game that is played with 52 cards. In the game, you can make four of a kind, a pair, or a flush. A pair is a hand that consists of two cards of the same rank. If you can make two pairs of the same rank, you win. If there is a tie between two hands, the higher card breaks the tie.
There are various betting rounds in the game, and players develop poker hands in between rounds. Each round starts with a forced bet. Each player is not permitted to place their bet directly into the pot. They must place them towards the pot until the betting round is over, at which point all bets are gathered into the pot.
After the initial betting round, players can call, raise, or pass. Players who call want to remain in the game until they see what the other players are doing. If they raise, they are also allowed to accept a bet, but can only accept a winning bet. If they raise, they have to place the amount in the center of the table.
When a player wins, they receive an odd chip in the poker pot. If two players have the same hand, the odd chip will go to the high hand. If they tie, they split the pot as evenly as possible. The odd chip goes to the player who has the highest card by suit.
