Poker is a card game played with two or more players and involves betting on the outcome of a hand. There are many variations of the game, but all involve cards and chips (representing money).

This is called being \u201cin the pot.\u201d Players who are in the pot may also bet less than the total stake of the player who raised it before them, but if they are not in the pot, they cannot raise their bets further or call the latest raiser\u2019s re-raise.<\/p>\n
