How to Play Poker - Poker is a game in which players are dealt a hand of cards and then bet on whether your hand is the best. Let's first look at the ten basic combinations of cards , from lowest to highest. 1. High card 2. One pair 3. Two pairs of cards 4. Three of a kind 5. Straight - which is five cards, in consecutive order 6. Flush - 5 cards of the same suit in any order 7. Full house - a pair and a three of a kind 8. Four of a kind 9. Straight Flush - which is five cards, in consecutive order, of the same suit 10. Royal Flush - a straight flush with a 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. If two people have the same hand, the player with the higher cards wins - A pair of 10s beats a pair of 3s. The most common style of poker is Texas Hold'em in which each player is dealt two cards. You see your own cards, but keep them secret from the other players. Players then decide to participate in the round or fold their cards. To keep the game going, we have the two roles of small and big blind. These two players are forced to bet a minimum amount - often small. In this case, 10 and 20. When it's your turn, you can choose to fold, call or bet. Folding means giving up your cards and sitting this round. Calling means you want to participate in this round and deposit the required amount to match the other players. Raising means that you not only compare the amount of the other players, but also increase the cost of further participation in the round. Let's call. When all bets are placed, the chips are collected into what we call the 'pot' - the total prize for winning the round. Three cards are then drawn and placed on the table for all to see. This is called the 'flop'. The cards on the table are called 'community cards' and they are important because your final combination of cards is the best possible 5 card combination of both the cards in your hand and the cards on the table. Players then decide whether to participate further in this round, with the largest bet determining the cost of further participation. Let's call again. Another card is drawn from the deck. This is called the 'turn'. Players fold, call or bet again before a fifth and final community card is drawn from the deck. The river'. The round is almost over, and players are making their final bets. Let's bet this time - put pressure on the other player and see if she follows through. She did it. At this point, no further action can be taken - and players show their cards to see who has the best combination. In this case, both players have pairs, but our pair is higher - so we win. The winner collects the chips in the pot and cards are then shuffled and dealt for a new round. And of course the roles of small and big blinds change clockwise to the next players.
