..main
The object of the game of poker is to win the
pot. The pot is made up of all \bets\ made by
all players in any one deal. Each bet means
that the player thinks or hopes he or she has
the \best hand\. When every player has bet as
much as he or she wants to, the players show
their hands and the best hand wins the pot.

one hand contains the A,K,Q,J and 10 of one
suit.

How betting works.
Before the cards are dealt, some poker games
may require each player to place an initial
amount in the pot. This is called the "ante".
A betting interval begins when a player bets
one or more chips. Players after that can
either "call" , "raise" or "fold".
