Poker is played with a standard deck of fifty two playing cards. A normal deck of playing cards consists of 4 suits – spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts. Each suit has thirteen cards. Here and there the card game calls for additional or less cards — the most typical variant being the inclusion of wild cards such as jokers. Sometimes the ace might be the lowest ranking card rather than the highest rank card. In some games, it may be both the lowest and the highest ranked card. The joker is standard in all combinations. The use of the joker will depend on the type of game. Any other playing card can also be made into the joker. The no. of playing cards dealt will depend on the game being played. In draw poker five playing cards are dealt, while in stud poker it may vary from five to seven. The other variations of poker are Caribbean poker and Omaha Hi.

More often than not two different packs of cards will be used. In the gambling dens, there are set dealers. The dealer shuffles the playing cards and a player cuts the pack. The cards are handed out in the clockwise direction. An array of techniques for dealing are used depending on the stakes involved and the betting.
