There are numerous versions of pokers. In some, players have a concealed hand of five cards, while in others some cards are visible on the table and players make up hands of five based on these and other cards in their hand. Although poker can be played for poker chips alone, it is more often played for money, either in [[casinos]] or privately among friends with smaller money stakes.

== Poker (tool) ==
A poker is also the name given to a [[metal]] stick, often ornate, that was used to rearrange (literally poke) coals or wood when fires still burned solid fuels. Since the widespread usage of [[gas]] and [[electric fires]], they are now seen as being more decorative than functional.
