FAQ

How do you play poker?

Before the cards are dealt, the rules of playing a poker game may require each player to put one or more chips into the pot for an initial bet (called an "ante bet") to start. Each betting interval (or round) starts with the player betting one or more chips in sequence.


IS Poker Skill Or Luck?

However, most people who play poker seriously know the difference. In the long run, poker is a 100% skill game. However, luck is great in the short term. Professional poker players reduce their luck by constantly making better mathematical decisions, so they will win in the long run.

 

Why Is It Called Poker?

The name of the game may be derived from Irish Poca (Pron. Pokah) ("pocket") or even French poque, the latter of which is derived from German pochen ("boasting", "knocking on the door"). However, it is not clear whether the origin of poker itself lies in games with these names.
