Poker has many variations of the basic poker game, but it follows the same principles as 5-Card Draw, so this is the game we use to show you how to play poker.
Every player gets five cards, distributed one at a time by one of the players who takes on the role of Dealer. Poker is one of the main card games where you use all the 52 cards in the pack. Aces are valued high, followed by the 'face' cards of King, Queen and Jack. You use all the suits in the pack and they all have equal value.
In poker, your 'winning' hand is determined in the following order:
Ranking order
Royal Flush - the hardest hard to get: Ace to 10 in the same suite, running successively.
Straight Flush - also hard to get: a second sequence in the same suit, lower down the value scale than Royal Flush. There is no way to 'wrap around' the numbers, such as A-K at the beginning and 2-3-4 at the end.
Four of a Kind - the same card from each card suit, with four Aces being the best hand.
Full House - often you can get this two-three combination: two of a kind followed by three of a kind. The higher value the card, the better it is for winning poker.
Flush - five cards in the same suit (without having to be sequential) you have a Flush. The winner is the one with the higher-scoring cards.
Straight - here, it is the numerical sequence that counts, and not the suit of the cards.
Three of a Kind - the same card from each suit, with 3 Aces being the best hand.
Two Pair - the same card from each suit, with 2 Aces and 2 Kings being the best hand.
One Pair - the same card from each suit, with a pair of Aces being the best hand.
High Card - if no poker player has any card sets, the one with the highest-value single card wins poker. This is uncommon.
