Poker is one of the most popular card games in the world, and is a favorite among many players across Albania as well. The game is played using a standard 52-card deck, and can accommodate from two to ten players. As in all forms of poker, each player is given a certain number of chips that represent their stake in the game.
Unlike other forms of card games such as blackjack and slots, in poker players must compete against each other and not the dealer or house. The goal is to create the best possible five-card hand out of the cards they were initially dealt or from the community cards shared by all players. The other players can choose to fold, call, raise or make any other move in accordance to the type of poker they are playing.
At the end of the game, the player with the best ranking hand is the winner and collects the pot. This pot is made up of the betting chips from all the players.
