Rules and how to play Poker:
(poker variants including Omaha Poker, Hold'em Poker and Let it Ride) The Basics: Poker started in the saloons of
the Wild West and has probably the most game variants.
Poker is played player against players and not just
against the dealer as in Blackjack, and there is a lot of
psychology involved during play. Poker is played from a
standard deck of 52 cards. Some variant poker games use
multiple decks or add Jokers or Wild Cards. The poker
cards are ranked in descending order starting from the
highest; Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,
2, Ace. Ace can be high or low. In poker there are four
suits; spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs, but no suit is
higher than another. Each poker player is dealt five
poker cards and is called a hand. The hand highest in
ranks wins. In some poker games there are Wild Cards or
Jokers, which can be labelled whatever suit and rank the
possessor wishes to.
The Ranking of Poker Hands:
The ranking of poker hands based on probability starting
from the highest are as follows: Royal Flush - Five of a
Kind (with a Wild card or Joker) - Straight Flush - Four
of a Kind - Full House - Flush- Straight - Three of a
Kind - Two Pair - Pair - High Card
Five of a Kind is only possible
when using wild cards and is the highest possible hand.
If more than one hand has five-of-a-kind, the higher rank
wins; e.g. five Aces beat five kings, which beat five
queens, and so on.
Straight Flush is the best natural
hand. A straight flush consists of five poker cards in
sequence and of the same suit. An Ace high straight-flush
is called a Royal Straight Flush or Royal Flush and is
the highest natural hand.
Four of a Kind is a hand that
contains of four poker cards of the same rank. The hand
with the highest rank of four-of-a-kind beats other four-of-a-kind
hands. If there are many wild cards, as used in some
poker game variants, there could be two four-of-a-kind
hands with the same rank. In this case, the hand with the
higher ranking fifth card wins. This poker rule applies
to hands that tie, such as a pair or two pairs. Dead
heats split the pot.
Full House is a hand consisting of
three-of-a-kind and a pair. Again, where Wild Cards are
used, ties are compared first by the three-of-a-kind
ranking, then the poker pair.
Flush is a hand consisting of
poker cards that are all of the same suit in any order.
Straight is a hand consisting of 5
poker cards in sequence, such as 5-6-7-8-9. An Ace may
either be high (A-K-Q-J-10) or low (A-2-3-4-5).
Three of a Kind is a hand similar
to the four-of-a-kind hand, except that if the remaining
two poker cards are a pair, then it becomes a Full House.
Two Pair is a hand that contains
two poker pairs only.
Pair is a hand that contains one
poker pair only.
High Card is a hand that is none
of the above and is a weak hand. If no poker player has a
pair or better, then the hand that contains the highest
ranking card wins. If multiple poker players tie with the
highest poker card, then the second highest poker card
decides, followed by the third and so on.
Note on Wild Cards:
How the wild card can be used depends on the poker game
you are playing and the poker rules. A wild card can be
defined as a joker or standard card that, by player
agreement and/or poker dealer's choice, can be used to
represent any poker card desired. When a joker is in
play, it usually can only be used as an Ace or to
complete a straight or flush. It cannot be used as a true
wild card, for example, as a king to make KK75X play as
three kings. When playing for low, the joker becomes the
lowest rank not already held, so 864AX is played as 8642A,
with the joker used as a deuce. Wild cards add an
additional hand, five of a kind, which normally ranks
above a straight flush. They can also cause confusion
when two poker players hold the same hand composed of
different wild card combinations. The standard rules of
poker do not distinguish between such hands, but some
poker players prefer to rank hands using fewer wild cards
above less 'natural' versions of the same hand.
Playing
Poker:
In most games players must 'ante' a nominal amount just
to have the cards dealt. Once the cards are dealt, the
betting starts. Poker players bet into the pot in the
middle of the table and it is done in turn clockwise. The
poker player with the highest rank showing, is the first
to speak and to bet. He can either bet or check. By
saying 'Check', he passes the decision to bet to the next
player who can also check. If all poker players check,
then it is the end of the round. Everyone opens his poker
cards and the highest hand wins. Only after one poker
player places a bet the real betting starts. Each poker
player in turn can either 'Call', 'Raise' or 'Fold'. To
fold is to pass or drop out of the round and not play. To
call means willing to match the bet, and the same amount
must be placed on the pot. To raise means to match the
bet and add an extra bet. Say you start with a $5 bet. If
someone else raises $10, he puts $15 in the pot. When
your turn comes again you need to add $10 difference to
the pot to stay in the game, and if you want you can also
raise or even say 'Pot'. Pot is a raise to the maximum,
which means to bet the same amount as the total money
available in the poker pot. If there are no more raises
and all the poker cards have been dealt, then it is the
end of the round. Everyone opens his closed cards and the
highest hand wins the poker pot.

BLACK
JACK RULES
Rules and how to play Blackjack:
The object of the blackjack game is to accumulate cards
with point totals as close to 21 without going over 21.
Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth 10 points.
Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is preferable. Other
blackjack cards are represented by their number. If a
blackjack player and the House tie, it is a push and no
one wins. Blackjack Ace and 10 (Blackjack) on the first
two blackjack cards dealt is an automatic blackjack
player win at 1.5 to 1, unless the house ties. A
blackjack player may stand at any time. Playing blackjack:
To win you need to beat the dealer without busting. You
bust when your blackjack cards total to more than 21 and
you lose automatically. The winner is whoever has closest
to a total of 21. You reach 21 by adding up the values of
the blackjack cards. The blackjack table seats about 6
players. Either six or eight decks of blackjack cards are
used and are shuffled together by the blackjack dealer
and placed in a card dispensing box called 'Shoe'. Before
receiving any blackjack cards players must place a wager.
Then the players are dealt two cards face up. The
blackjack dealer gets one face up, one face down. Each
blackjack player in turn either stays or takes more
blackjack cards to try and get closer to 21 without
busting. Blackjack Players who do not bust wait for the
dealer's turn. When all the players are done, the dealer
turns up the down card. By blackjack rule, on counts of
17 or higher the dealer must stay; on counts of 16 or
lower the blackjack dealer must draw.
If
you make a total of 21 with the first two cards (a 10 or
a face and an Ace), you win automatically. This is called
'Blackjack'. If you have Blackjack, you will win one and
one-half times your bet unless the dealer also has
Blackjack, in which case it is a Push or a Tie (or a
Stand-off) and you get your bet back. The remaining
blackjack players with a higher count than the blackjack
dealer win an amount equal to their bet. Blackjack
Players with a lower count than the dealer lose their bet.
If the dealer busts, all the remaining players win. There
are other betting options namely Insurance, Surrender,
Double Down, Even Money and Split.
Insurance: side bet up to half the
initial bet against the blackjack dealer having a natural
21 - allowed only when the dealer's showing card is an
Ace. If the dealer has a 10 face down and makes a
blackjack, insurance pays at 2-1 odds, but loses if the
dealer does not.
Surrender: giving up your hand and
lose only half the bet.
Early Surrender: surrender allowed
before the blackjack dealer checks for blackjack.
Late Surrender: the blackjack
dealer first checks to see if he has blackjack. If he
does, surrender is not permitted.
Double Down: double your initial
bet following the initial two-card deal, but you can hit
one blackjack card only. A good bet if the blackjack
player is in a strong situation.
Even Money: cashing in your
blackjack bet immediately at a 1:1 payout ratio when you
are dealt a natural blackjack and the blackjack dealer's
showing card is a blackjack Ace.
Split Hand: split the initial two-card
hand into two and play them separately - allowed only
when the two first blackjack cards are of equal value.
Use each blackjack card as the start to a separate hand
and place a second bet equal to the first.
Hard Hand: A hand without a
blackjack Ace, or with an Ace valued at 1 is said to be
Hard in that it can only be given one value, unlike a
Soft Hand. (You can value an Ace 1 or 11 to suit you).
