Poker is a card game played by two or more players. It is a game of chance, in which each player places an initial amount of money into the pot before the cards are dealt. Depending on the rules of a particular game, this may be called an ante, a blind, or a bring-in. Then the cards are dealt, in three stages \u2013 an opening round of five community cards (known as the flop), an additional single card (called the turn) and a final card (called the river). Each player must either hold a qualifying hand or fold.<\/p>\n
