  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.

  Community card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In poker, a community card (also called a shared card or widow card) is a card that is dealt face-up to the table (not to any particular player), and is shared by more than one player.
Often, several community cards are dealt to the table, shared by all players, and subject to variant-specific rules about how many, and which of the cards may be used in each player's hand.
For example, when the five community cards on a Texas hold'em board include four of one suit, any player with a card of that suit in his hand can play a Flush (but the one with the highest-ranking card of that suit is likely to have the best flush and win).

 Community card poker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The set of community cards is called the "board" or the "widow", and may be dealt in a simple line or arranged in a special pattern; rules of each game determine how they may be combined with each player's private hand.
Then a second community card is followed by a second round, a third community card and a third round, and fourth community card and a fourth round, and finally a fifth community card, fifth betting round, and showdown.
Upon showdown, the lowest-ranking card on the board, and all cards of that same rank either on the board or in players' hole cards, play as wild cards (thus, it is not possible to know exactly which cards will be wild until the end, unless a deuce appears on the board earlier than that).
