In a typical game of Poker, a player has the chance to win by collecting all of the chips in the pot. The odds are in his or her favor when the high hand and the low hand are tied. The high hand wins if the player has the highest pair of cards. If two players have the same high hand, they will split the pot equally.

The betting process in a poker game is similar to other casino games. To participate in a game, you must ante an amount that varies from game to game. The next step is to bet into the pot in the center of the table. The game continues in a clockwise direction until all the players have called or folded.

The amount of money that a player can wager on a hand depends on how much they are willing to bet. Poker clubs generally have a minimum of 200 chips, and more if there are seven players or more. Typically, the lowest value chip is the white chip. Other chips come in different colors. A blue chip is worth ten or twenty whites, whereas a red chip is worth five whites. Dark colored chips are worth two, four, or five reds. The first player to raise the pot will win.

A player can make five out of five cards, or he can make two straights, a flush, or a straight. If more than one player has five cards of the same suit, the higher card wins.
