As funny as this might sound, quite a few poker gamblers do not know the basic object of the game which is to win money by winning the pot, which has wagers created by many gamblers during the hand. Basically a gambler wagers in hope that they have the much better hand,or gives the impression(bluffs) that they hold the much better hand and therefore convinces the other competitors to throw (fold)their hand in. Remember money saved is really just as important as the cash won, learn to fold a hand that seems to be weak and could be beat , is just as critical as knowing when to wager.

Succeeding a hand can be done by 2 methods:
A: Revealing (show down) the very best hand at the end of all the wagering rounds. When you will discover 2 or far more gamblers still active when all the wagering rounds are done ,they will turn their hand up. The winning pot will go to the gambler who has the greatest hand throughout this face off.
B. All of the players fold their hands. This means that the players releases their claim on the pot by not matching the wager. Whether the player had the winning hand or was just bluffing doesn’t matter. The pot is theirs.
In games like Seven-Card Stud and the well-known Holdem the finest hand is usually a superior hand. In games like Lowball and Razz, the greatest hand is really a decreased hand. Nevertheless in split-pot games, 2 winners split the pot. Like in 7-Card Stud,High-Low Split, or Omaha high High-Low Split the greatest great hand and the ideal reduced hand split the pot.
