\"poker\" <\/p>\n

Poker is a card game of chance with elements of psychology and skill, it\u2019s also one of the most fun games to play. It\u2019s not hard to get into but can be a bit tricky to master. Unlike other casino games like roulette or blackjack poker is more than just cards, betting structures and reading your opponents are just as important in the game.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re learning the game of poker it\u2019s best to start with the basics and then work your way up from there. Poker is a very complicated game and it\u2019s very easy to get lost when you\u2019re just starting out. Getting the fundamentals down is like pouring the foundation and framing the building \u2013 you can\u2019t build on top of it until you\u2019ve got that part of the process completed.<\/p>\n

Basic Gameplay<\/h4>\n

When a hand of poker is dealt all players are required to place a mandatory bet into the pot called blinds. These bets create an incentive for players to participate in the hand and provide a pot to win. Once all players have received their 2 hole cards a round of betting starts, with the player to the left of the dealer acting first.<\/p>\n

The aim of the game is to have the best ranked hand and make your opponents fold their hands, this can be done by having a great bluff or just raising your stakes when you think you\u2019re beat. Bluffing is an integral part of the game but it\u2019s best learned after you have a firm grasp of relative hand strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
