Poker |
 | | The card game poker is the most popular of a class of games called vying games, in which players with fully or partially concealed cards make wagers into a central pot, after which the pot is awarded to the remaining player or players with the best combination of cards. |
 | | There are also many variants of poker, loosely categorized as draw poker, stud poker, community card poker, and miscellaneous poker games. |
 | | Such phrases as ace in the hole, beats me, blue chip, call the bluff, cash in, pass the buck, poker or poker face, stack up, up the ante, when the chips are down, wild card, and others are used in everyday conversation even by those unaware of their origins at the poker table. |
