Poker is one of the most popular card game around the world. In which players with fully or partially concealed cards make wagers into a central pot. The pot is awarded to the player or players with the best combination of cards or to the player who makes an uncalled bet. Poker can also refer to video poker, a single-player game seen in casinos much like a slot machine.

There are almost infinite variations played in homes across the world, but we like to focus on the `big five` - Texas Hold`em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. These are the most popular games played in casinos, card rooms and cyberspace.

Poker uses a standard pack of playing cards, 52 cards (there are some poker games that uses more or less depending on the variations such as adding wild cards like jokers). The card ranking is as follows Ace (the highest), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (the lowest), Ace (this may also be the lowest card depending on the variations you are using, but it is usually the highest). There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs). No suit is higher than another. All poker hands contain five cards, the highest hand wins.
