One of the most important things to remember when playing poker is to respect your dealer. This is because they do not have control over the outcome of the hand, and any arguments with them will only serve to make you feel uncomfortable. Also, dealers are human and will make mistakes from time to time. Therefore, if you notice a mistake, politely explain it to the dealer and ask them to correct it. If necessary, you can also call the floorman.

The highest hand is called high, while the low hand is called low. The player who holds the highest hand receives the odd chip. However, if two players tie in a hand, the pot shall be divided as evenly as possible. The player holding the highest card of the same suit receives the odd chip. However, players are not obliged to reveal their other cards.

In stud poker, players use a 52-card deck. Two decks of different colors are usually used. The game can be played with jokers or wild cards. These cards are used to supplement any other cards in the hand. The best games involve five or six players. The game is played with two dealers.

When a player wins a hand, the winning player wins the pot. A player who wins can only win when his hand has the best five-card combination.
