Poker Rules

Poker's a card game where you win either by having the strongest 5-card hand or by getting everyone else to fold. In the most popular version, you're dealt 2 cards face down, your "hole cards," and then the table fills up with 5 shared cards over time: the flop, the turn, the river. Every time new cards come out, players bet before moving on. You can bet, raise, match the bet, or just fold.
