Poker is played with a regular deck of 52 cards without Jokers. To play the game of Poker you will need some luck. There are a lot of skilled and experienced poker players, but when it concerns the deal of the cards there is nothing they can do. There is a table with maximum and minimum bets next to the dealer. You should read this table before you start playing. Each player makes at least the minimum bet and receives 5 cards face down. There is a betting round after the first deal. To stay into the game you have to make a bet equal to the highest bet made by one of the players. 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. Then the second deal and the betting round follow. 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.
