In Poker, suits have no relative rank. When two players have identical hands, they split the pot. If the next card is higher, the winner is the player who has the highest hand. Poker is played with a minimum of two players, and an ideal number is six to eight. When two players have the same hand, the winner is determined by the next card’s rank. This rule is only applicable in five-card poker. However, the same rules apply to other poker games.

The betting interval in this game lasts four minutes. Each player receives one card face-up and one card face-down. Then, after each round, a betting interval occurs. After the fourth betting interval, the hole cards are revealed. In each betting interval, the player with the highest poker combination is called the first bettor. He must bet the minimum in the first betting interval. However, the player may check during later betting intervals.

The player to the left of the dealer bets the starting amount by placing down their chips. Then, another player bets the second blind, which is usually double the first blind and the minimum bet. The dealer then has the final right to shuffle the deck. If the dealer shuffles, he has to offer his pack to an opponent who has made a bet. Depending on the rules, he may cut a player from the table.
