Unlike most games of chance, players in poker bet money into the pot during betting rounds, and they can bet as many times as they like. Betting is done clockwise from player to player and is usually done by raising or calling an initial bet.
What to Look For:
The best way to win at Poker is to bet the right amount of money when you have a strong hand. This will give you an edge over the other players, but it’s important to know how much to bet and when to fold.
How to Read Others:
There are a lot of different ways to read other players in poker. Whether it’s subtle poker tells (like scratching your nose) or more obvious things like patterns of how often a player bets and folds, you should pay attention to them.
How to Fold:
To fold your hand is to put all of your cards face down on the table. This will result in you losing whatever you have bet so far and it will also make you no longer compete for the pot.
