 | | 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. |
 | | Such phrases as ace in the hole, beats me, blue chip, call the bluff, cash in, pass the buck, poker or po- 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. |
 | | Poker is a microcosm of all we admire and disdain about capitalism and democracy. |
