The Basic rules:
Poker is a card gambling game, which is very popular and
played throughout the world. Poker is played with a
standard pack or deck of 52 playing cards. The cards are
ranked in the following manner- Ace, King, Queen, Jack,
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace. The game of poker can
be defined as a game in which the players, with fully or
partially concealed cards make wager into a central pot.
This central pot is awarded to the player with the best
combination of cards. Poker can also be played with the
help of Internet and Poker machines, but in every poker
gambling, the rules remain the same.
Poker is not a single card game, but a broad class of
card games. The best thing about this game is that Poker
offers good players a way to consistently win.
The chances of winning and losing solely depend upon the
combination of cards and hand ranks. The description of
hand ranks is as follows.
Hand Ranks

highest possible hand in a game of a poker. It is only
possible when the gamblers are using wild cards. If
there is more than one, five of a kind, in a game of
poker, then the higher card wins.
Four of a kind and three of a kind:
Four of a kind is the
combination in which a player has four cards of the same
rank. Similarly, if one player has three same cards,
this is called three of a kind. If there are more than
one three of a kind or four of a kind, then the higher
rank card combination wins.

straight 5 cards in order. The order can start from any
number, but in case there is more than one straight
flush, the higher ranked card wins. This is the highest
natural rank in the poker game. A simple flush is when
the cards belong to the same suit. This is also a good
combination.

is called a pair. If in game of poker a player has two
same cards and three other different cards. It is called
a pair. If there are two pair of cards and one different
