Poker Rules for Someone Who Has Never Played

There's a friendly poker game and you don't want to be the one asking what beats what. This covers the objective, the deal, the betting rounds, and the hand rankings, no strategy or odds, just enough to play without embarrassment. Good for anyone invited to a kitchen-table game who's never held a hand.
