In the game of Poker, the players buy chips for the game. The lower-valued chip is known as the white chip. The next highest-valued chip is the red chip. The same number of blues or reds represent ten or twenty or thirty dollars. The chips that players buy in the game are worth the same amount. The pot is the sum of all the chips that are won during the hand. When there are seven or more players, all of them purchase the same amount of chips.

A player may be required to contribute to the pot before the game begins. This contribution, called an ante, will be used to make the initial bet. Once a player makes a bet, he or she is said to bet. The next player to bet is known as a caller. A player who raises their bet is referred to as a raiser. Finally, a person can stay in without betting by checking.

The game of Poker is similar to a board game with betting intervals. One player has the privilege to be the first to make a bet. Every other player is then given the opportunity to place chips in the pot. Once all players have bet, the final game is called a “showdown”. The best hand in the poker hand wins the pot. Usually, there are two or more betting intervals in a single game.
