Beginning poker
If you are new to poker, it is a fascinating game with many levels: basic rules, understanding odds, player psychology and winning strategies. If it were a straightforward game it would not have such a big following. Below are a few of the basic rules of Texas Hold'em to get you going.
Each player is dealt 2 cards that only they can see. Each player can then bet on whether those cards will beat their opponents' cards at the end of the game. The terms are:
- Fold: you remove yourself from the hand and lose any bets already placed
- Check: you match the bet already on the table
- Raise: you match the bet on the table and add some more
- All-in: you bet all the chips you have at the table
- Small blind: a small number of chips which one player must place based on table position
- Big blind: a slightly larger number of chips which one player must place based on table position
When each player has completed betting, the next 3 table cards are dealt (called the Flop). Everyone can see these. Another round of betting then takes place. If at any stage you are the only player left in the betting, you win the hand and pot and do not need to show your cards.
The next two rounds are called the Turn and the River, and at each another card is turned over. Everyone then has 2 cards in their hand and 5 table cards visible to everyone. Now everyone must make the best hand they can from the table cards and their own cards. Only 5 cards count: 2 of your cards plus 3 table cards, 1 of your cards plus 4 table cards, or all 5 table cards.
Hand rankings (lowest to best)
- High Card: your highest value card (Ace high), e.g. King of Hearts
- Pair: two cards of the same value, e.g. 5♥ 5♠
- Two Pair: e.g. 5♥ 5♠ and J♣ J♦
- Three of a Kind: e.g. 5♥ 5♦ 5♠
- Straight: 5 cards of increasing value without gaps, e.g. 5♥ 6♦ 7♣ 8♥ 9♦
- Flush: 5 cards of the same suit, e.g. 2♣ 5♣ 7♣ J♣ Q♣
- Full House: 3 cards of one value and 2 of another, e.g. 5♥ 5♠ 5♣ 2♦ 2♣
- Four of a Kind: e.g. 5♥ 5♦ 5♣ 5♠
- Straight Flush: a straight in one suit, e.g. 5♥ 6♥ 7♥ 8♥ 9♥
- Royal Flush: a straight flush to the Ace, e.g. 10♥ J♥ Q♥ K♥ A♥
