Poker is a card game played between two or more players. Each player has a number of chips (money to bet with) and the aim is to make the best five card hand using your own two cards and the five community cards. During a round of betting each player can call, raise or fold, depending on their hand and the situation. A player can also bet all their chips on a particular hand. This is called going All-in and there are specific rules about this type of bet.
Before each round of betting begins there is usually an ante and a blind bet. The small blind and the big blind are posted by the players to the left of the dealer before any cards are dealt. The dealer then shuffles the cards and deals each player 2 cards. The cards are then positioned face down on the table. The players then take turns betting based on their own cards and the cards in the community.
At the end of each betting round a showdown is played and the hands are revealed. The player with the highest hand wins the pot.
