There are a few summarised key points you need to know for introduction
1. Poker is based on a standard deck of 52-cards wherein the Dealer shuffles it and uses it to distribute two cards to each player in a clockwise manner.
2. Every player is dealt two cards (face down) by the dealer, where the player can only see their own cards.
3. The dealer spreads 5 cards - 3 promptly, then another, then another. All players within the game use these shared in conjunction with their own 2 cards to create their very best five-card hand.
4. Before and after each card(s) is revealed, players take turns to call or raise. To stay in the hand and see the following card, all players must have put the same amount of chips in the pot as one another.
5. The best poker hand wins the pot.
Hand Ranking
Royal Flush
This is the highest poker hand. It consists of Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten, all in the same suit. As all
suits are equal, all royal flushes are equal.
Straight Flush
Any five cards of the same suit in sequence other than a Royal Flush e.g J-10-9-8-7 or 2-3-4-5 of same suit.
In-between two Straight Flushes, the one containing the topmost card has an advantage. An ace can be counted as low, so 5-4-3-2-A of same suit is a Straight Flush, but its top card is the ‘5’, not the ace ‘A’. The cards cannot “turn the corner” i.e 4-3-2-A-K is not valid to be a Straight Flush.
Four of a Kind
Four cards of the same rank – such as four Queens where the fifth card can be anything. This combination is sometimes known as “Quads”. Between two Fours of a Kind, the one with the higher set of four cards is the winner. So, 3-3-3-3-A is beaten by 4-4-4-4-2.
Full House
This consists of three cards of the same rank and two cards of another rank making a pair, for example 9-9-9-A-A. In the scenario where two players have Full-House, the person with a higher-ranked set of 3 cards would win.
Flush
Five cards of the same suit irrespective of their ranking. In the case where there is more than one Flush among the players, the card ranking determines the winner. If the highest cards are equal then the second highest card is compared; if those are equal too, then the third-highest card, and so on. For example K-J-9-3-2/K-J-7-6-5 where the player with hand K-J-9-3-2 would win over the other player.
Straight
Five cards of sequential rank, not all of the same suit – for example Q-J-10-9-8. 5-4-3-2-A is the lowest kind of straight, the top card being the ‘5’ and A-K-Q-J-10 of different suits is the highest kind of straight with the top card being ‘A’.
Three of a Kind
Three cards of the same rank in a hand with the other two cards of different ranks.
If there is more than one hand with “Three of a Kind” then the hand in which the three equal cards are of higher rank wins. So for example 5-5-5-3-2 beats 4-4-4-K-Q.
Two Pair
Two pairs is a hand with a pair of cards of one rank, a pair of cards of another rank and one card of a third rank (also called “the kicker”). In case of a hand where two players have ‘Two Pairs’ then the player with higher ranking card’s pair wins. If in case the card rank of pairs is same then the fifth card’s rank is used to determine the winner.
Pair
A pair is a hand with two cards of equal rank and three other cards which do not match these or each other. When comparing two such hands, the hand with the higher pair is better so for example 6-6-4-3-2 beats 5-5-A-K-Q. If the pairs are equal, compare the highest ranking odd cards from each hand.
High Card
Five cards which do not form any of the combinations listed above. When comparing two such hands, the one with the highest card wins. If the highest cards are equal the second cards are compared; if they are equal then the third cards are compared, and so on. So A-J-9-5-3 beats A-10-9-6-4
