Each poker game is unique from the rest and has different rules. The most popular kind of poker (Texas hold'em) is played with 52 cards and 2-11 players. Each player receives 2 cards while 5 other cards on the table get turned face up (flop), after which one more card is turned (turn) followed by the final card (river). The player with the strongest combination, from his own cards and those on the table, wins.
