Poker is a game of incomplete information where you do not know your opponents’ cards, but they will be revealed after each betting round. Each player has 2 cards and must make the best five card poker hand from these and the community cards, in order to win the pot (the total of all the chips bet so far). This requires a high level of concentration as you need to pay attention not only to your own cards but also to your opponents and their body language (if playing in person). The continuous practice of poker can improve your concentration levels.
