'''Poker''' is a [[human]] card game of chance and skill which originated sometime during the early 19th century in the [[United Republic of North America|United States]]. The game has many variations, but all forms of poker involve betting as an intrinsic part of play. The main aim of the game is for players to wager on the strength of their set of cards (called "hands") in relation to cards held by their opponents and any shared or "community" cards on the table. An alert player can increase their chances of winning by examining opponents' expressions and actions to judge the value of their cards. | '''Poker''' is a [[human]] card game of chance and skill which originated sometime during the early 19th century in the [[United Republic of North America|United States]].
