The rules of Poker vary according to the number of players and the type of game being played. The standard 52-card deck is used, sometimes with one or more joker cards added. Sometimes two packs are used, which is popular in clubs and among the best players. When playing with two packs, one pack is being dealt, while the previous dealer shuffles the cards and places them to the left. Once that player is done, a new dealer is selected to deal the next round.

After this round, the players can raise their bets. Each player must bet an equal amount or raise their bets. If they do not match, the bets in the pot remain and play moves to the next round. Once the betting round ends, the game ends when all players have called or folded. If the player did not raise, he or she is out of the round. If the game is over, the winner is determined by the player with the highest winning hand.

When a player folds a hand, the player to the left acts first and must reveal the two cards under his or her chip. If the player cannot match his or her discards, the dealer will expose the chip and decide if a player has a high or low hand. However, if a player folds with an unsuitable hand, then he or she will lose the pot. If the player folds without revealing his or her hand, he or she will be paid a penalty.
