Poker

Poker hands are ranked by their odds. The highest hand wins. In some cases, two players can tie for high hand. If this occurs, the pot shall be divided as evenly as possible. In poker, the best hand is a pair of fives. The highest possible hand is five of a kind when a wild card is added to the hand. The highest unmatched card is used to break a tie between identical fours of a kind and threes of a kind. Secondary pairs are also used to break a tie between two identical threes of a kind.

Players begin the game by placing an ante into the pot. After placing their ante, players reveal their cards. They can then discard up to three of their cards or take new cards from the top of the deck. Once all the players have discarded their cards, another round of betting occurs. The winner of the game is the player with the highest hand.
