Poker is a card game in which players try to make the best hand possible using their cards. The goal is to get two distinct pairs of cards and at least one high-card. When there are no pairs, the highest card wins. If the high-card is higher than the second highest card, it breaks the tie. If the high-card is lower, the low-card wins.

The betting limits for poker are usually two, five, or ten chips. They vary based on the stage of the game, and sometimes are set at two, five, or 10 before a draw. If the player has a pair or better, the betting limit will usually increase to 10. This limit increases after the draw, and after each betting interval.

The betting intervals in Poker usually consist of two rounds of betting. Each round begins with a player betting. Players then raise or drop their opening bets. If all players have placed their bets, the pot will be played. If a player loses, the action continues with the next player. When the betting interval ends, the winner of the hand will be the player with the best hand.

When the betting rounds are over, players may check the pot or fold based on the situation. Poker chips are often red, white, black, or blue. Before the game begins, the dealer assigns the chips values. A player may be required to buy in for the chips before a round of betting starts.
