A game called &#8220;community card poker&#8221; was introduced around the turn of the century, and is usually played with a single deck of cards.

These games can vary in rules and the number of players.<\/p>\n<p>A poker hand consists of a set of five cards, and is ranked from the lowest to the highest. The best natural hand is a straight flush, which is five cards in the same suit. Typically, a straight flush starts with a high card.<\/p>\n<p>A high card also breaks ties, especially when multiple people have the same high card. A straight flush is often called the Royal Flush. In some games, the ace may be treated as the lowest card.<\/p>\n<p>The first player to bet is called a bettor. He or she is given the option of making a call or a raise. A raise is a bet that exceeds the previous bettor&#8217;s bet. If the bettor calls, the bet is matched.<\/p>\n<p>The pot is the sum of all bets placed by all players during one deal. The best way to win the pot is to make the highest-ranking poker hand.
