Bluffing is a key element of the game, and it may also help players to win if other players hold better hands than they do.<\/p>\n<p>Various other strategies are used to improve a hand, including discarding certain cards and trading others. The player with the best hand at the end of the hand wins the pot.<\/p>\n<p>The game can be played with cards or chips, and it can be played online. It is usually a fast game that requires little time to learn.<\/p>\n<p>A hand of five cards, called a poker hand, is the primary object of the game.
