Poker is played around an oval or circular table. To begin, the initial dealer must be chosen from the shuffled deck of cards. The highest-ranking card is the initial dealer, and subsequent dealers must shuffle or cut the deck and advance in the play. If there are ties, a re-deal is performed, and the previous dealer must discard the cards before the next deal. After this, the players proceed to the next step in the game.

If a player’s hand has a higher rank than another player’s, he or she will get the odd chip. If two players have the same rank, the pot is split as evenly as possible. The player with the highest card by suit gets the odd chip. In case of a tie, the odd-chip player is the player who received the highest-ranking card in the pack. The dealer, on the other hand, has the final right to shuffle the pack.

In Poker, the betting intervals differ among the different games. During each betting interval, a player must place a bet. If the player has raised multiple times, he or she must place a chip in the pot. The winning player is the one who has the highest-ranking hand. If the player loses, he or she will forfeit the side pot. Once a side pot has been emptied, the player will be eliminated from the game.
