Poker Rules

Poker is a popular card game wherein players with completely or partly concealed cards make bets into the central pot. The player or players with the best combination of cards or the player who makes an uncalled bet wins the pot. It is basically a gambling game either played for money or chips bought from the game's banker.

This game of chance and skill allures people from all walks of life simply because of the much-coveted satisfaction of winning, an innate human nature. For some, poker is a fun, social pastime but for others it is a competition where the ultimate trophy is fame, money and sense of pride. No wonder, over the years, poker has seen an amazing rush in popularity. From home games, to neighborhood tournaments and now televised international championships, poker truly holds an undeniable fascination to many.

Part of the attraction of poker as a game is that rules change from one poker variant to another but follow some basic guidelines thus allowing anyone familiar with these guidelines to play.
