So let’s get started!
At New Poker, we offer a range of game variations, which we’ll discuss later, but they all have a common foundation. Poker involves playing with a hand of 5 cards, ranked from highest to lowest. Before the game begins each player is dealt cards to form the best possible 5-card hand.
