In most Poker variants, such as Texas Hold 'Em and Omaha, there are 5 shared cards, or community cards dealt. This is simply because the rules are as such.
There are other variants of poker, such as 7 Card Stud (Every player first receives 2 cards face down, 1 face up. Then they receive another 3 cards face up, each card followed by a round of betting, and a 7th card face down followed by another round of betting.) or 5 Card Draw (Every player receives 5 face down cards, followed by a round of betting. Then a player can choose to "throw cards away" and draw other cards. The ammount of cards that can be drawn is the same as the cards you threw away. So 1 card thrown away, means you can draw 1 new card. There are variants which allow up to 3 draws. In this variant there are no shared - or community - cards dealt.)
