How do you play poker?
assistant
To play poker, you need a group of 2-10 players, a deck of 52 cards, chips or money for betting, and a dealer to keep track of the bets and hands. The goal of the game is to build the best hand possible by using the cards you are dealt in combination with the cards on the table. After all players have received their cards and the betting has been completed, the players have the chance to exchange cards (or ‘draws’) to improve their hands if they think it will help. Once all players are satisfied with their hands and the betting is finished, the hands are revealed and the winning player is awarded the pot.
