A card game with a strong element of gambling and requiring advanced technique. There are dozens of ways to play poker, but the common features of poker are that players place bets using poker chips and that players make set combinations with their cards to win or lose. Poker combinations include: (1) Straight Flush - Five cards in a row of the same suit; (2) Four of a Kind - Four cards of the same number; (3) Full House - Three cards of the same number and two cards of another number; (4) Flush - Five cards of the same suit; (5) Straight - Five cards in a row; (6) Three of a Kind - Three cards of the same number; (7) Two Pair - Two sets of two cards of the same number; (8) One Pair - Two cards of the same number; (9) No Pair - Any hand that does not belong to any of the above combinations. In most rules, Ace is the highest and the lower the combination, but there are some rules where the lower the combination, the stronger the hand (lowball). There are draw poker, in which players can exchange as many cards as they like, and stud poker, in which players cannot exchange cards. The player with the highest legal hand takes all the chips bet by everyone else.
