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
RANK 4 The Full House:
RANK 4 The Full House: three of one kind and two of another (3-3-3-2-2). In evaluating two or more competing full houses, the hand with the highest three-of-a-kind wins, regardless of the rank of the pair. Example: A full house including three aces regardless of the pair beats a full house including three kings regardless of the pair.
RANK 5 The Flush:
RANK 5 The Flush: any five cards of the same suit but not in sequence (10-7-5-4-3 of spades). In evaluating two or more flushes, the winner is determined by the rank of the highest card in the hand. If the highest cards in contesting hands are of the same rank, then the next highest cards determine the winner. And if these are of the same rank, then the winning hand is determined by the third highest cards. Et cetera! If all the cards of the players are equal, then the hands are tied.
