What is "poker"?
Poker is a popular card game that has been played in various forms since the early 19th century, with roots in Europe and the United States. It is usually played by two or more players using a standard deck of cards. The goal is to win chips or money by having the best hand or by convincing other players to fold, which means giving up their cards. Players are dealt a set of cards and can bet, raise the bet, or fold based on the strength of their hand. There are different variations of poker, but most involve forming combinations of cards, with certain hands ranked higher than others. The game continues until one player wins all the chips or money.
