In poker, the players make bets by placing poker chips. In most games, there are at least seven players. Usually, the lowest-value chip is the white chip. The next highest-value chip is the red chip, which is worth five whites. Blue chips are worth ten, twenty, or thirty, while dark-colored chips are worth two, four, or five reds. Each player purchases a certain amount of chips (called buy-ins) and plays until someone has a full house.<\/p>\n

Two-of-a-kind hands win when you have two cards of the same suit. In some games, the ace can be treated as the lowest card. In other games, the lowest hand is the lowest pair of two aces. When a wild card is added to the deck, the hand called five of a kind wins. Similarly, when a wild card is included, five of a kind beats a straight flush.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
