What Is Poker Game?

The standard deck of 52 cards, sometimes supplemented by jokers, is typically utilized. Poker, being a single-deck game, has evolved to incorporate the use of two packs of cards in contemporary play among clubs and skilled players to expedite the pace of the game. While one deck is being dealt, the other is shuffled and prepared for the upcoming deal. In the case of two packs, the process involves the previous dealer collecting and shuffling all cards from the set they have dealt, placing them on the left-hand side, and passing the reshuffled deck to the next dealer to facilitate the subsequent deal. In select games employing two packs, it is customary for the dealer's adversary to the left, rather than the right, to cut the deck.
