Poker is a card game that is played by a group of people around a table. It is usually played with a standard pack of 52 cards. The goal of the game is to make the best hand possible.

The player with the best hand wins the pot. Each player has five cards and they are ranked from Ace to King.

Players can discard any number of cards from their hand. If there is a tie, the high card will break the tie. In some variations, players can use a single card from their hand.

Players may also raise, which means they are willing to increase the amount of their bet. After the first round of betting is finished, a second round begins. This time, the two dealers are still in the game.

After the first round of betting, Dennis raises twenty cents. Brad calls the raise.

At this point, Dennis has three cards in his hand. He also discards two cards.

Charley keeps four of his cards. When he owes something to the pot, he will call.

The dealer starts by shuffles the deck. He will then deal two cards to each player.

Next, each player in the game must make an ante. The ante is a small bet, typically one to five dollars. Once the ante is paid, the next player’s turn is to play.

After a few rounds of betting, the showdown occurs. A player with the best hand wins the showdown.
