Poker is a card game that involves skill, strategy, and a bit of luck. The game is typically played with a standard 52-card deck and can be played in various formats and variations. The objective is to either have the best hand at the end of the game or to bluff your opponents into folding, thereby winning the pot (the money or chips bet during a hand).

Poker is popular in both casual home games and professional settings, such as casinos and major tournaments like the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
