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.

four cards of the same rank. Similarly, if one player
