Poker is a card game played between two or more players and the object of the game is to win the pot (a group of chips representing money). Players place bets voluntarily during the betting intervals that occur in each deal. Once the players are done placing their bets, they reveal their cards and the player with the highest hand wins. There are many different variants of poker, each with its own rules and strategies.
