General Poker Rules and Poker Game Types - 28 views
Poker is a family of card games that share betting rules and usually hand rankings.
Poker games differ in the way the cards are dealt, formation of hands, whether the high or low hand wins the pot , limits on bets and how many rounds of betting are allowed. The action always proceeds to the left.
Each player in turn must either match the maximum previous bet or fold, losing the amount bet so far and all further interest in the hand.
A player who matches a bet may also raise, increasing the bet. The betting round ends when all players have either matched the last bet or folded. If all but one player fold on any round, the remaining player collects the pot without showing his hand. If more than one player remains in contention after the final betting round, the hands are shown and the winning hand takes the pot.
