Poker is a card game where the aim is to create the best hand out of five cards. These cards consist of two ‘hole’ cards given only to the player and five community cards that can be used by all the players to form a hand. The game progresses in a series of rounds, with a round of betting to be completed each round. After the betting, the players can discard some of their cards and receive new ones, or ‘Stand Pat,’ but keep their initial cards. After the last round of betting, the player with the best hand or the player who managed to push all the other players out of the game by betting wins the pot.
