A game that has an element of bluffing and misdirection, poker was most likely first played by the French in the seventeenth century. The word poker comes from the French version of poque, which was eventually adapted to German and became a form of primero. French settlers brought the game to North America, where it is still popular today. However, its origins are apocryphal. Regardless of the origin, the game has an enduring spirit of bluffing and misdirection.
Rules
The Rules of Poker govern the game of poker. The basic game of poker involves five card combinations, which make up a hand. The value of each poker hand is inversely proportional to its mathematical frequency. A player may make a bet to win a pot by believing they have the best hand and betting to win. However, in most poker variants, the first player to show his hand wins the pot. This is referred to as a showdown.
