The Basics of Poker

Poker

Poker is a family of comparing card games. It may have ancestry to the French game of brelan and the Persian game of as nas. The origin of the name is unknown, but it probably derives from German or French word pochen, meaning “to play.”

Poker is a game played worldwide. There are several different variations, but the basic rules remain the same. Each player is dealt five or seven cards, and players must form the best hand.

If two players have the same hand, they tie, and each player receives half the winnings. If more than one player has two pairs, the player with the highest pair wins.

To start a round, each player is dealt a card face up. Cards are then shuffled by the dealer. A designated dealer button is located on the table. This indicates which player is the nominal dealer.

Each player begins betting in a clockwise direction. Betting is done until all but one player folds. Players have the option of discarding up to three cards.

The player with the best hand takes the pot. Ties are broken by a high card. Two four of a kind win if both cards are of the same rank.

The ties between identical poker hands are broken by the second-highest unmatched card. One player may win the pot by making a bet that nobody else calls.

If a player has a pair of kings, he should call. Otherwise, he has a good chance of losing his bet.
