Players place bets into the pot during each betting interval. After each round, the bets are combined into a central pot where the winnings are accumulated. The next betting round begins with another player placing a bet. This process continues until no player remains, or until all remaining chips are used. In this way, the pot grows. In the end, only those with the highest hand win the pot. However, the odds are skewed toward the player with the highest hand.

The best possible hand in a hand at a given moment is known as “nuts.” It is a high card or straight that can make a player’s hand higher than their opponents’. The second highest possible hand is called an “overcard.” A player can have up to two overcards if the hole cards are higher than his or her nut. However, a player must be careful to determine a player’s nut and overcards before calling a hand.

A straight flush, a pair of aces, or a pair of kings is the best possible hand. But a flush is also possible. And if you have more than one five-of-a-kind hand, you will win the pot. This is the standard game of poker. The only difference is the suit. If you have a pair of aces, your five-of-a-kind hand will always win the pot.
