Poker is played with a regular deck of 52 cards without Jokers. It is pretty much a game of chance. One can be a pro in Poker, but when the cards are dealt luck is the same for everybody. You have to read the table with the minimum and maximum bets before you play Poker. You can find this table next to the dealer. Players make their bets and then each player is dealt five cards face down. There is a betting round after the first deal. You must at least call to stay into the game. It is up to the player to decide which cards he wants to keep and which to throw away. If you have good cards you can hold all of them, if you have bad cards you can throw away all of them as well. You will get the same number of cards in place of discarded ones. After everybody on the table is done with the betting the highest ranked hand wins and gets whatever is in the pot in the middle. Classic Poker Betting.
