Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
The Pack of Cards
The Pack of Cards The Texas Hold'em Poker deck consists of four thirteen-card suits: spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. The suits have no relative superiority to each other. The ace is the highest-ranking card, and in order of descending value the rest of the cards are the king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 or deuce. But the ace may be used at either end of the suit, as the highest card in a straight or royal flush and as the lowest card in a straight or straight flush. Thus in the straight flush A-K-Q-J-10 the ace is high; in the straight flush 5-4-3-2-A the ace is low.
Playing Poker with Two Packs of Cards
Playing Online Hold'em Poker with Two Packs of Cards I recommend the use of two packs of cards having backs of sharply contrasting design or color. This is to enable a change of packs at the request of any player. In two-pack play a contestant can ask for a change at any time, and the change takes place immediately after the showdown of the current hand.
