The aim of player is to win the money contained in
the pot. One who has best poker hand wins. In
poker game each hand is a self contained game. So
after each hand winner is awarded the pot. Dealer
initiates the next hand and deals the cards to the
players on the basis of poker variation they are
playing. Games proceeds in clock-wise direction
from the card dealer. Player may ckeck or bet. It
should be remember that if any of the players have
made the bet, players can not check longer. When
player makes a bet. Next player in clockwise
direction has three options: fold, call or raise.
if you choose to fold it means you do not want to
spend money and discrad your cards. Now you are
not a part of hand. In a “call” you have to
increase the current bet. If you increase the
current bet it is called as “raise” and if another
palyer increses the raised bet again it is known
as “re-raise”. Number of raised depends upon the
poker variation you are playing, but only two
players are left they may raise each other
indefinitly. Number of betting rounds and cards
dealing sequence is also decided on the basis of
poker game variation.
After last betting round all left players have a
showdown and the player having best hand is winner
and gets the pot. who ever made the last raise or
bet, in the showdown that one has to show his/her
hand first. Then remaining players have to show
their hands in clockwise direction. If players
those are beaten, do not need to show their hands.
Ranking Rules:
In poker play, hands ranking is decided firstly by
category and secondly on the basis of individual
card ranks. Suppose that you have smallest two
pair hand. This will defeat all other hands with
one pair or high card.
Suits of cards are used for determining the
category of hands. When two players having the
identical hands but suits are different, then this
is a tie and pot is devided for both players.so
There is no value for suits
Individual card ranks are always used for hands
comparison and are ranked “high”. Ace plays high
in 2-to-7 lowball games only and plays low in
Ace-to-5 and Ace-to-6 lowball games only.
