The objective of Poker is to win the pot - the collection of money, chips or other bets made by the players.

There are two ways you can win:-

1. Have the highest ranking hand .

2. Bluff the other players into folding by making them believe you have the winning hand.

As in other casino games, there are strict rules to abide by. But in poker, it is very important to know the ranking order of all the possible hands. .

The game starts with the dealer handing out the cards clockwise from his or her left

As soon as the cards are dealt, the players are left with four options:- .

Check the bet - bet nothing, but still remain in the game
You can only check when no other players have made any bets, and it's your turn in that round

Call the previous bet - bet the same amount as the previous bet

Raise

Fold

There are commonly only three rounds of betting allowed in casino poker.
When a player makes his or her bet, the next player can call, raise, or fold.
To stay in the game you must at least match the previous player's bet.
However, you can always forfeit you chips or money by folding.
