The ability to read opponents and make bluffs at the right time are key elements of this fast-paced game. This article is a primer into the rules of poker and will only cover cash games (not tournament play).<\/p>\n<p>A standard pack of 52 cards are used in most forms of poker, although some variants use more or less than a full deck. A card ranked high is an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 7, 6, 4, 3 and 2; while a card ranked low is a 2, 3, 5, 4 or 6. Typical poker hands include one pair with three distinct cards, two pairs with two matching cards, a straight, a flush, and a full house. The highest hand wins. Ties are broken by looking at the highest card in each hand, then the second highest, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Players place chips, representing money, in the pot during betting intervals. The player to the left of the dealer, called the button or dealer position, has the privilege and\/or obligation to place a bet at the beginning of the betting round. Each subsequent player may increase or decrease the amount of money in the pot.<\/p>\n<p>Players usually purchase poker chips, which come in different colors and values. Each color represents a different amount of money, with white chips being worth the minimum ante or bet; red chips representing half of the minimum ante bet; and blue chips being either one third of the minimum bet or 10 times the maximum pot limit bet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poker is a card game that involves a great deal of skill and psychology.
