Review of poker order of cards::How Do You Score in Poker







Review of poker order of cards::How Do You Score in Poker








Draw               hands               are               hands               after               the               flop               in               which               the               player               has               four               cards               to               a               straight,               a               flush               or               both.

Made               hands               are               hands               which               after               the               flop               the               player               has               trips,               two               pair,               top               pair               or               a               pair               of               kings               or               aces               in               the               pocket               (the               last               two               both               pre-flop).

Of               course               higher               hands               such               as               a               straight               flush,               a               full               straight               or               flush               on               the               flop               and               four               of               a               kind               are               also               made               hands.

The               difference               between               good               play               and               poor               play               for               a               draw               hand               and               a               made               hand               are               significantly               different.

A               great               poker               player               will               try               to               control               the               table,               stay               in               or               fold               based               on               several               factors,               which               are               discussed               in               the               rest               of               this               article.

This               play               strategy               is               designed               to               increase               your               potential               winnings               as               well               as               to               provide               guidelines               for               playing               each               type               of               hand.
               Draw               Hands               Strategy
               If               you               are               dealt               a               draw               hand               on               the               flop,               your               best               strategy               is               to               keep               the               betting               relatively               low               and               to               keep               as               many               players               in               as               possible.

After               all               your               chance               of               filling               the               straight               or               flush               is               usually               less               than               50%.

Even               when               you               catch               your               draw,               you               may               lose               to               a               higher               hand.

Four               cards               to               a               flush               are               your               best               drawing               hand               other               than               the               rare               straight               flush               possibility.

However,               if               you               have               a               jack               and               ten               of               hearts               and               two               other               hearts               on               the               flop,               say               an               eight               and               a               queen               of               hearts               you               can               still               draw               a               fifth               heart               and               lose               to               another               person               with               two               hearts               with               one               being               a               king               or               an               ace.
               A               flush               with               an               ace               is               called               the               nut               flush               because               other               than               running               into               a               straight               flush,               an               ace               will               dominate               all               other               hands               providing               a               pair               is               not               showing               on               board.

If               a               pair               does               show               you               have               to               worry               about               your               nut               flush               being               beaten               by               a               full               house               or               even               quads.
               While               a               high               flush               will               usually               win               if               no               pair               is               showing               when               you               reach               the               river.

Without               the               ace               of               the               suit               in               your               hold               cards               you               must               be               very               careful               if               another               player               bets               all               in               as               this               is               a               very               clear               sign               to               you               that               they               have               the               ace               themselves.

I               have               folded               flushes               when               raised               by               a               conservative               player               who               is               likely               to               have               a               higher               flush               than               mine.
               Straight               draws               are               more               difficult               to               play.

If               there               are               two               or               three               suited               cards               in               the               flop               you               probably               do               not               want               to               play               this               draw               hand.

If               you               have               say               a               suited               Ace               and               10               to               King,               you               have               a               double               draw               possibility               for               both               a               straight               and               a               flush.

This               is               as               good               as               it               gets               with               a               drawing               hand.

Your               odds               of               hitting               either               the               nut               flush               or               nut               straight               are               above               50%.

This               is               why               you               want               as               many               people               in               as               possible.

You               get               a               potentially               large               pot               with               minimal               risking               a               large               sum               of               your               own               money.


               If               you               get               a               nut               flush               with               not               pair               on               board               you               are               the               winner.

The               question               is               how               to               maximize               you               pot               without               scaring               all               the               other               players               out.

A               moderate               value               bet               which               may               retain               players               with               trips               or               lower               draw               hands               is               the               smartest               move.

However,               if               you               are               playing               with               fish               (poor               players)               you               might               get               a               caller               with               an               all               in               bet.

This               is               especially               true               if               they               are               short               stacked               or               high               stacked.
               Personally,               I               would               not               even               recommend               a               player               draw               to               an               inside               or               one               way               straight.

There               are               four               outs               of               about               forty               five               cards               you               have               not               seen.

This               is               less               than               one               in               five               odds.

In               addition,               this               hand               may               be               beaten               by               a               superior               drawing               hand               or               a               higher               made               hand.

Many               times               these               hands               also               result               in               a               draw,               not               a               loser               but               not               a               winner               either.

It               is               just               not               worth               it.

Even               an               open               ended               straight               such               as               4,5,6,7               where               both               a               3               and               an               8               will               give               you               a               straight               still               is               a               long               shot               when               you               factor               in               that,               that               hand               can               also               be               beaten               by               a               player               with               say               8,9               or               a               an               higher               made               hand.

A               straight               chaser               is               probably               not               a               long               term               winner               unless               they               are               capable               of               keeping               a               lot               of               people               in               and               the               betting               low.

This               is               not               easy               to               do.
               Made               Hand               Strategy
               A               made               hand               is               generally               a               combination               of               cards               that               can               win               all               by               itself               such               as               pocket               aces               on               the               first               two               cards,               a               set               or               trips               on               the               flop,               a               full               house               or               better.

This               includes               a               complete               straight               or               flush               on               the               flop               as               well.
               A               made               hand               seems               easier               to               play.

It               is               not.

Pocket               aces               or               kings               are               considered               a               made               hand.

Yet               they               are               only               a               single               pair               if               the               five               board               cards               do               not               give               you               a               third               ace               or               king               respectively.

Pocket               aces               or               kings               are               best               played               by               a               very               large               bet.

Your               best               chance               is               to               bet               out               all               the               draw               hands               and               as               many               other               hands               as               possible.

If               you               go               into               the               flop               with               one               caller               you               have               a               very               good               chance               of               winning.

If               two               players               or               more               call,               while               your               mathematical               odds               are               still               higher               than               any               other               player               going               into               the               flop,               your               odds               of               winning               against               two               are               more               player               are               less               than               50%.

The               key               on               these               high               pairs               is               not               to               slow               play               but               to               try               and               get               as               many               people               out               a               soon               as               possible.
               The               opposite               the               strategy               you               should               use               on               a               made               hand               post               flop               of               trips               or               a               full               house.

These               hands               have               a               good               chance               of               winning               even               without               improvement               on               the               turn               or               the               river.

In               order               to               maximize               your               winnings               deceptive               play               in               the               best               strategy               in               this               case.

Slow               play               the               flop               with               a               check               and               hope               that               someone               else               will               bet.

If               you               are               in               good               late               position               and               the               flop               reveals               some               draw               hand               possibilities,               a               minimal               bet               might               be               advisable.

You               want               people               to               be               invested               in               the               pot               without               having               them               fold               leaving               you               with               just               the               blinds.

The               same               goes               for               turn               card               betting.

You               have               to               hope               that               someone               gets               a               hand               worth               betting               or               tries               for               a               bluff               win.

Look               weak               at               least               until               the               river               is               turned.
               If               betting               has               been               solid               make               a               bet               about               equal               to               the               pot.

If               someone               is               short               staked,               bet               enough               to               knock               them               out.

If               someone               looks               strong,               but               not               as               strong               as               you,               bet               all               in.

I               have               seen               many               full               houses               be               beaten               by               higher               full               houses               or               quads.

If               you               do               not               have               the               nuts,               this               can               be               a               game               ender               for               you.

On               the               other               hand               it               can               move               you               to               a               dominant               position               in               terms               of               chip               count.

High               chip               count               is               important               in               both               tournament               play               and               cash               games.
               Conclusion
               A               made               hand               is               considered               better               than               a               drawing               hand.

Why?

Because               with               a               made               hand               you               have               control               of               the               betting.

Control               of               betting               is               control               of               the               table.

While               poor               player               may               stay               in               with               a               flush               draw               when               a               large               bet               is               made,               many               better               players               will               not               risk               their               stack               on               a               draw               hand.
               Draw               hands               are               fun               to               play               but               it               is               gambling               not               skill               if               you               risk               a               large               portion               of               your               chips               on               a               less               than               50/50               bet.

Yet               I               have               seen               some               of               the               highest               rated               players               in               the               world               do               it.

That               is               probably               why               the               recent               World               Series               of               Poker               main               event               winners               have               not               been               the               highest               rated               players               in               the               world.
               Maximize               the               skill               in               your               poker               play               and               minimize               the               luck               factor.

    In               a               standard               deck               of               cards               you               have               four               suits,               two               red               and               two               black.

    These               suits               are               Diamonds,               Hearts,               Clubs               and               Spades.

    Each               suit               has               an               ace,               a               jack,               a               queen               and               king,               as               well               as               number               cards               two               through               ten.
                   These               are               our               cards,               lets               play               poker.
                   Texas               Hold               'Em               will               be               the               game               we               examine               because               it               is               simple               and               incredibly               popular.

    Whether               you               sit               down               to               a               ring               game               or               a               tournament,               these               are               the               common               factors:
                   Everyone               is               dealt               two               cards               face               down.

    You               may               look               at               your               cards,               once               dealt,               but               do               so               carefully               so               that               your               neighbor               does               not               see               what               you               have.

    There               is               a               big               blind               and               a               small               blind.

    You               go               around               the               table               in               a               circle,               and               to               'call',               a               player               must               place               as               many               chips               in               the               center               of               the               table               as               the               big               blind.

    For               instance,               if               the               big               blind               is               $50,               you               have               to               put               a               $50               dollar               chip               in               the               center               to               play               that               hand.

    Otherwise               you               fold               your               hand               and               do               not               play               your               'hole               cards',               the               two               cards               you               were               dealt.
                   Calling               and               folding               are               not               the               only               options.

    The               third               option               is               to               bet.

    If               a               player               bets               during               their               turn,               all               other               players               must               call               the               bet               in               order               to               stay               in               the               game.

    If               another               player               bets               over               the               first               bet,               it               is               called               a               raise.

    You               may               call               a               first               bet               and               decide               to               fold               a               raise               if               you               do               not               feel               that               you               have               the               best               hand               after               another               player               has               bet.
                   And               speaking               of               best               hands,               how               do               you               know               if               your               hand               is               a               good               one?

    Here               is               a               quick               rundown               of               poker               hands               and               their               value.
                   The               lowest               hand               is               a               card-high               hand.

    If               you               had               an               Ace,               9               and               did               not               have               any               matching               cards               on               the               board,               your               hand               would               be               referred               to               as               Ace               high.
                   The               next               best               hand               is               a               pair.

    A               pair's               value               goes               by               the               number.

    A               pair               of               10's               is               better               than               a               pair               of               5's.

    Aces               are               high               in               hold               'em               so               a               pair               of               Aces               is               top               pair.

    If               two               players               have               an               Ace               in               their               hand               that               pairs               on               the               board,               the               winner               is               determined               by               their               other               hole               card.

    A,9               beats               A,6.

    The               second               card               in               this               situation               is               referred               to               as               a               kicker.
                   Unless...

    the               other               player               manages               to               pair               their               six.

    That               is               the               next               best               hand,               two               pair.

    If               you               have               a               5,6               in               your               hand               and               a               5,6               shows               up               on               the               board,               you               have               two               pair.

    Sometimes               two               of               a               kind               show               up               on               the               board.

    When               this               happens,               they               say               the               board               'paired'.

    That               is               a               common               pair,               which               means               everyone               who               is               playing               that               hand               has               that               same               pair.
                   If               there               are               two               8's               on               the               board,               and               a               player               has               an               eight               in               his               hand,               that               is               the               next               best               hand,               which               is               three               of               a               kind,               or               trips.

    Three               of               a               kind               beats               two               pair.

    Another               way               to               get               trips               is               if               you               were               dealt               a               pair.

    For               example,               you               look               at               your               cards               and               have               a               9               of               diamonds               and               a               9               of               clubs.

    If               a               9               of               hearts               comes               on               the               board,               you               have               three               of               a               kind.
                   But               three               of               a               kind               can               be               beat               by               a               straight.

    A               straight               is               five               cards               of               any               suit               that               run               in               numerical               order.

    For               instance,               
                   2,3,4,5,6.

    A               high               straight               beats               a               low               straight.

    10,j,q,k,Ace               is               the               highest               straight.
                   But               a               low               flush               will               beat               a               high               straight.

    The               flush               is               5               cards               of               the               same               suit.
                   The               next               hand               up               is               the               full-house.

    A               full               house               is               a               hand               with               3               of               a               kind               and               a               pair.

    If               you               have               king,               9               and               the               board               is               
                   5,k,3,9,k               then               you               have               a               full               house:               Three               kings               and               two               nines,               or               'kings               full               of               nines'.
                   Four               of               a               kind,               meaning               four               nines               or               four               jacks,               etc.

    is               the               next               highest               hand.
                   If               you               are               lucky               enough               to               end               up               with               a               straight               in               the               same               suit,               then               you               have               a               straight               flush               hand,               which               is               nearly               unbeatable.

    The               only               hand               higher               than               a               straight               flush               is               a               royal               flush,               which               is               10,j,q,k,ace               of               the               same               suit.
                   So               which               hands               should               you               play,               and               which               should               you               fold?

    It               takes               time               and               practice               to               learn               how               to               gage               which               hands               to               play.

    Being               dealt               a               pair               can               seem               like               a               good               hand               until               you               see               the               board               play               out.
                   Now               you               have               your               hole               cards,               and               you               know               what               hands               you're               looking               for,               what               happens               next?

    When               you               decide               to               play               a               hand               and               have               called               the               big               blind               and               any               subsequent               bets,               the               dealer               will               deal               three               cards,               face               up,               in               the               middle               of               the               board.

    These               three               cards               are               the               flop.

    Look               at               the               flop               and               think               about               how               it               relates               to               your               hole               cards.

    Did               you               flop               a               pair?

    Are               there               any               good               hands               that               might               develop?

    If               you               have               four               cards               to               a               straight               or               a               flush,               that               is               called               a               draw.

    You               can               draw               to               a               straight,               if               you               have               6,7               in               your               hand               and               5,8,k               is               on               the               board,               you               have               four               cards               to               a               straight.

    This               can               get               risky.

    You               might               get               the               fifth               card               (4               or               9)               or               you               might               not               get               anything.

    If               another               player               bets               high,               you               might               want               to               fold               out               of               the               hand.

    If               no               one               bets,               you               can               'check'               the               hand,               and               see               another               card               which               might               help               you               make               a               decision               whether               to               bet,               fold,               or               call               anyone               else's               bet.
                   After               the               flop,               once               everyone               has               checked,               bet,               called               or               folded,               the               fourth               card               is               dealt.

    This               card               is               the               turn.

    Everyone               has               the               opportunity               to               check,               bet,               call               and               raise               and               then               the               fifth               and               final               card               is               dealt               in               the               center.

    This               card               is               the               river.

    Once               a               final               round               of               betting               takes               place               after               the               river               card,               all               remaining               players               turn               over               their               hand               and               the               best               hand               takes               the               pile               of               chips               in               the               center               to               add               to               their               'stack'               of               chips.

    The               chips               that               have               been               placed               in               the               center               through-out               the               game               are               called               the               'pot'.

    The               winner               always               takes               the               pot.

    Occasionally,               two               people               will               have               hands               of               identical               value,               and               then               the               pot               is               split.

    Hand               values               are               figured               by               each               player's               top               five               cards.
                   It               is               not               uncommon               for               hands               to               be               played               in               which               no               one               sees               the               turn               or               the               river               card.

    If               someone               makes               a               good               bet               and               all               the               other               players               fold,               that               player               takes               the               pot.

    Bluffing               is               common               in               poker,               and               sometimes               someone               with               a               weak               hand               will               make               a               large               bet               in               an               attempt               to               'steal               the               pot'.

    Part               of               the               game               is               determining               whether               someone               is               bluffing,               and               knowing               when               to               call               a               big               bet               and               when               to               fold.

    If               you               believe               your               hand               is               the               best,               you               should               call               or               even               raise               a               big               bet.

    Bluffs               always               run               the               risk               of               being               caught               by               a               truly               strong               hand.
