Poker has different varieties. For example, stud poker is played with one player and can also be played with multiple players. It can be played with any number of players, though the ideal number is six or eight. The pot is the total amount of bets made by all players in one deal. The highest ranking poker hand wins the pot, and a player can win the pot by making the highest bet without being called. In a game of stud, one player has the advantage because he can raise his stake more than any other player.

The lowest hand is a seven-card hand. It can be a high card or a low card. In some games, the ace is treated as the lowest card. This means that if you have two aces, your hand will be the lowest. If you have a pair of aces, the lowest hand is a 6-4-3-2-A. In other games, aces are considered the lowest cards.

Almost all poker games involve poker chips. Games with more than seven players should have poker chips provided. The lowest-value chip is the white chip. A red chip is worth five whites. A blue chip is worth ten or twenty or more. Players buy in by purchasing poker chips with a predetermined amount. In most cases, players buy in for the same amount. If there are more than ten players, two separate games can be organized.
