Poker has become one of the most widely accepted online gambling card games, which involves betting in high stakes also. There are many variations of this game which are in existence. Some of the examples are Texas Hold’em, Seven Card Stud and the most thrilling Three Card Poker. The basic rules for every game though remain the same. In any basic game usually the one having the highest hand wins and the one having the lowest looses the most. However in poker there are games where the lowest hand wins or sometimes the winning bet is split half between the lowest winner and the highest winner.
So let’s understand the theory of hands. We will start from highest and move downwards as we proceed. The highest hand is known as the Royal Flush which beats all irrespective of what you have.
It is a pretty straight ranging from a ten to an ace and also all five cards from the same suit. The restriction is that all cards containing in the hand must be from one card suit. The four card suits are the Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs.
The next to it is the straight flush. This is the condition when you have any straight sequence with all five cards from the same suit. Now we know a Royal Flush is very hard to get and is extremely rare, a Straight Flush proves to be a very good hand when one wants to raise the bets.
Next is the 4 of a Kind where one needs to have four cards of the same type. Now in an ambiguity situation where two players get four of a kind, then a higher fifth card is considered which is in the hand, known as the kicker, which decides who wins.
After that we have the Full House. In this, one needs to have 3 cards of same rank and rest of the two also of the same rank. The highest condition would be three Aces and two Kings.
Next we have the Three of one Kind. All one need is the 3 cards of the same type. In this the best possible combination is the hand with three Aces, a King and 1 Queen.
Towards the last there is a Two Pair hand, where one must have one pair of the same rank and another pair again of the same rank.
One before the last is the One Pair hand, where one can hold any 2 cards but of the same rank. The best combination here can be two Aces, a King, a Queen and a Jack.
Lastly, if somehow you get unlucky and do not have any of the above written hands, then you play just can play on the top card or the highest card in your card stack.
This is just the priority of hands. One must always believe in his or luck and even sometimes the false strategy which can be followed by increasing the stakes very much so that the opponents know the card are very big and they pack up make you winning with nothing real cards in hands.
