Poker is a card game in which you play against other players. The goal is to win the most money by holding the highest hand. You start by putting in an ante, which varies with the game. Then, you bet into the middle of the table in a clockwise fashion. The process of betting continues until all players have folded or called, and the highest hand wins the pot.
Straight flush
The Straight Flush is the second strongest poker hand after the Royal Flush. A straight flush consists of five cards of the same suit, with one of them being the Ace. The winning straight flush depends on the highest card. For example, if the Ace is the top card in the sequence, then a Straight Flush with a J, 10, 8, or 7 will win the pot. In Omaha and No Limit Holdem, the highest ranking straight flush is called a royal flush.

Fixed-limit poker
Fixed-limit poker is a type of poker that has a set limit on the amount of money a player can bet. This limit is only increased by the size of one big blind. Because the stakes are so low, players must be very careful when placing their bets. This is generally the least exciting type of poker because of its limited stakes and the low potential for large wins.
