Poker is a card game where players are permitted to bet their chips at various intervals during the game. As each player has an equal chance of winning or losing, they must make sure to reduce their losses as much as possible and maximize their winnings when they have a good hand. A number of different variations of poker exist, and are described further in this chapter. Some games require players to “buy in” by placing an ante into the pot before they start playing.

The most popular game of poker is known as texas hold’em. Players are allowed to be as few as two people, but can reach up to nine. Each player is dealt two or five kartu and can combine them for a high hand known as a tertinggi. A straight flush or a royal flush is a hand that can win the game. The goal of poker is to collect as many high-cards as possible, but it is also common to be dealt only one hand.
