In most games, the highest hand is awarded the pot. In some variations, the lowest hand may win. For instance, some games do not recognize straights or flushes. In other variations, the highest hand may share the pot with the lowest player. However, in general, a player will be awarded the pot according to the value of their hand. Listed below are the basic rules of Poker. When playing with more than five people, two separate games may be played.<\/p>\n<p>In the first round of betting, any player is forced to place a bet. This bet is called the ante. The next round of betting occurs after the forced bets. Each player may make various bets: the dealer may bet half or full of the ante or fold. A player who calls frequently is called the calling station. However, he or she may not make a bet if he or she has the ace of spades.<\/p>\n<p>In the next round, the bets are gathered into a central pot. This pot contains the winnings from the previous rounds. If one player has the highest poker hand at the end of the round, he or she is declared the active player. If no one calls, the next player must place their bets. This process repeats itself. In addition, players may choose to bluff the other players. Regardless of the strategy, the outcomes of poker games are largely dependent on chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many variations of Poker.
