Review of order poker hands::Does a Full House Beat a Flush in Texas Holdem?








Poker               has               always               been               a               popular               game               throughout               the               United               States               but               ever               since               2004               when               ESPN               broadcasted               the               World               Series               of               Poker,               it               seemed               to               have               jumped               to               incredibly               new               heights.

The               Internet               and               entrepreneurs               have               flooded               computers               with               gaming               sites               that               allow               people               to               gamble               on               line               or               just               play               for               fun.

It               is               slowly               becoming               once               again,               a               national               past               time               here               in               America.

Whenever               I               play,               there               always               seems               to               be               one               person               who               does               not               know               what               they               are               doing               and               needs               help               along               the               way.

I'm               not               a               professional               poker               player               by               any               means,               but               I               do               understand               the               hands               that               you               can               get               and               the               chances               of               getting               specific               hands.

Knowing               these               key               things,               will               help               you               play               poker               and               play               it               well.

Here               is               the               breakdown               of               the               possible               hands               in               order               of               best               to               worst.

1.

The               Royal               Flush.

The               Royal               Flush               is               considered               "The               Nuts"               in               any               hand.

"The               Nuts"               means               a               hand               that               cannot               be               beat               by               any               other               hand.

Basically               if               you               draw               a               Royal               Flush,               you               win               the               hand               unless               you               fold.

A               Royal               Flush               is               a               10               through               Ace               all               in               the               same               suit.

There               are               only               4               possible               combinations               in               a               game               of               poker               and               the               probability               of               getting               this               hand               is               less               than               two               thousandth               of               a               percent.

I               myself               have               never               received               the               hand               in               the               six               years               of               playing.
               2.

A               straight               flush.

A               straight               flush               is               only               superseded               by               the               Royal               Flush.

A               straight               flush               is               five               cards               in               a               row               all               in               the               same               suit.

There               are               forty               possible               combinations               and               the               chances               of               getting               this               hand               are               less               than               two               hundredth               of               a               percent.

There               are               624               possibly               combinations               and               the               probability               of               getting               one               these               is               less               than               .03%.
               4.

               6.

               7.

Three               of               a               kind.

Three               cards               that               are               of               the               same               rank,               such               as               three               kings,               or               three               two.

    Poker               is               a               professional               game               with               professional               champions               and               people               who               win               big.
                   Famous               poker               champions               like               Phil               Ivey,               nicknamed               the               "Tiger               Woods               of               poker"               play               the               game               as               if               it               were               a               professional               sport               and               like               a               professional               sport,               if               they               are               a               1st               draft               pick               or               the               MVP,               they               make               gain               worldwide               fame               and               recognition.

    To               make               a               long               story               short,               poker               is               a               card               game,               there               are               many               variations               of               the               game               but               the               most               common               is               hold               em               or               Texas               hold               em.

    Players               get               a               hand               or               two               cards               and               than               either               bet,               check,               raise,               or               fold               what               they               have.
                   We               then               see               a               flop               or               three               face               up               cards               on               the               table.

    The               key               point               here               is               do               you               have               a               match               with               cards               from               your               hand               to               the               cards               on               the               flop.

    Now               there               is               a               hierarchy               of               possible               poker               hands.

    Those               range               anywhere               from               a               high               card               pair               which               simply               means               the               highest               card               pair               you               may               have               such               as               Ace               King               to               the               highest               on               the               ladder,               the               Royal               Flush.
                   Here               is               a               helpful               guide               about               the               hands               of               poker.

    It               gives               a               description               of               a               hand               along               with               an               image               of               how               to               get               that               hand.
                   www.pokerstars.com/poker/games/rules/hand-rankings/
                   All               of               that               is               only               the               tip               of               the               iceberg               when               it               comes               to               poker               and               there               are               much               more               complexities               in               regards               to               betting,               raising,               checking,               and               folding               but               again,               if               you               want               to               start               playing               this               casino               favorite,               check               out               PokerStars,               Full               Tilt,               or               other               free               poker               sites               to               learn               from               the               best.
                   Is               Poker               a               Game               of               Luck               or               Skill?
                   Good               question.

    So               does               winning               a               tournament               involve               getting               the               right               hands               or               winning               a               huge               hand               on               the               river               (the               last               card               drawn               out               of               the               five               from               the               flop).

    Is               it               folding               every               hand               until               you               get               those               precious               pocket               kings               or               queens               (two               kings               or               two               aces               in               your               hand)?

    Perhaps               it's               getting               the               right               flop               (first               three               cards               drawn               on               the               table)               and               matching               your               hand               to               the               cards               on               the               flop.
                   Some               people               think               that               it               has               a               lot               more               to               do               with               how               you               play               rather               than               what               you               get.

    Indeed               to               win               big               hands               even               if               your               playing               with               friends               at               home               is               to               play               smart.

    Bet               or               raise               when               you               have               a               good               chance               of               having               the               best               hand,               fold               if               you               have               a               bad               hand,               or               try               to               trap               a               player               by               checking.

    When               an               amateur               poker               player               has               the               best               hand,               they               usually               don't               do               a               very               good               job               at               concealing               it.

    I               should               know.
                   When               I               first               started               playing               poker               with               some               friends,               whenever               I               got               pocket               kings               or               aces,               my               expression               gave               it               away               immediately.

    Than               I               started               raising               or               going               all               in               (putting               all               your               chips               in)               to               try               to               win               some               chips.

    Well               either               they               folded               immediately               or               I               only               won               a               few               chips               thus               wasting               my               perfect               hand.
                   Lady               Gaga's               "Poker               Face"               says               it               all               (great               song               by               the               way).

    If               you               play               with               someone               face               to               face,               you               have               to               be               an               actor               and               hide               your               emotions.

    A               lot               of               beginners               get               really               excited               when               they               have               a               strong               hand               with               a               great               flop.

    Bad               idea               if               you               want               to               win               big.

    Just               remain               calm,               cool,               and               collected.

    Instead               of               betting               right               away,               why               not               check               and               see               if               others               bet.

    Don't               raise               too               high               or               other               players               will               suspect               something.
                   Wear               sunglasses               if               you               have               to,               change               around               your               expressions               to               confuse               other               players               but               most               importantly               wear               your               poker               face               well.
                   People               usually               think               poker               champions               are               just               lucky
                   I               guess               if               people               keep               getting               pocket               aces               and               having               flushes               and               straight               (click               link               at               beginning               to               know               more)               than               they               may               win               a               lot               of               money.

    Yet               how               come               we               have               poker               champions               that               constantly               beat               out               hundreds               and               thousands               of               other               players               to               get               to               the               final               table               and               even               win.

    Why               do               we               have               great               poker               pros               such               as               Phil               Ivey,               Daniel               Negreanu,               Jamie               Gold,               or               Scotty               Nguyen.

                   Does               it               mean               they               they               always               get               the               perfect               hands               or               get               lucky               on               the               river               or               is               there               something               more.

    People               who               lose               a               lot               of               hands               would               probably               think               the               former               and               that               it's               just               luck.

    Those               who               win               and               play               a               lot               such               as               I               do               know               that               poker               is               just               as               much               skill               as               it               is               luck.
                   It's               about               slow               playing               your               "straight",               "checking"               your               pocket               aces,               or               painfully               having               to               fold               your               pocket               kings               or               ace-king               due               to               a               bad               flop.

    It's               about               being               gutsy               and               betting               a               lot               of               chips               hoping               your               opponent               folds               even               though               you               had               nothing.

    It's               about               knowing               when               to               bet,               when               to               raise,               how               much,               and               which               hands               to               play.

    Just               because               you               have               2-3               for               a               hand               doesn't               mean               you               should               automatically               fold.

    Surprises               come               often               and               your               biggest               pot               win               may               come               from               your               worst               hand.
                   So               is               poker               a               game               of               luck               or               skill?

    That's               ultimately               for               you               to               decide.

    For               me,               it's               a               combination               of               both               not               to               mention               playing               with               intelligence.

    Fold               when               you               have               to               and               play               the               right               hands.

    You               can't               always               play               with               a               2-3               and               expect               to               win               just               because               it               worked               out               one               time.

    You               can't               expect               to               win               just               because               you               have               pocket               aces.

    Poker               doesn't               work               like               that.
                   Luck               is               definitely               a               key               to               poker,               I               would               be               lying               if               I               told               you               it               wasn't.

    If               you               have               an               amazing               hand               plus               flop               and               somebody               puts               you               all               in               so               you               have               to               call.

    Than               the               other               player               gets               a               runner               runner               (the               fourth               and               fifth               or               final               card               on               the               flop)               and               knocks               you               out               on               the               river,               well               that's               just               really               bad               luck               for               you.
                   Luck               can               be               good               as               well.

    Say               you               are               put               all-in               and               have               a               very               bad               hand               and               a               bad               flop               but               than               with               the               the               fourth               and               fifth               cards               drawn,               you               get               exactly               what               you               need               and               win.

    Well               than               you               just               got               lucky.

    So               try               things               out,               be               creative,               play               some               bad               hands               and               some               good               hands,               get               gutsy               and               bluff               (a               fake               out)               if               you               can.

    Poker               is               a               fun               game               to               try               out               and               the               next               time               you               go               to               a               casino               or               Las               Vegas,               try               it               out.

    If               you               don't               like               it,               you               don't               have               to               play               it               but               I               believe               it               is               and               will               always               be               the               King               of               All               Card               Games.
                   Hints,               Tricks,               and               Tips
                   1.

    Don't               play               every               hand
                   Some               are               good,               some               are               bad,               but               trying               to               play               every               hand               and               hopefully               getting               lucky               is               not               the               way               to               go.

    Chances               are               you'll               lose               most               of               your               chips               before               you               ever               get               that               lucky               flop               on               your               2-3               hand.
                   2.

    Analyze               the               possibilities
                   Look               at               the               flop,               look               at               your               hand,               and               try               to               figure               out               how               others               could               win.

    Are               there               three               suited               (a               club,               diamond,               heart,               or               spade)               cards               on               the               flop               and               someone               may               have               flopped               a               flush.

    Maybe               there               is               a               king,               ten,               jack               on               the               flop               and               someone               has               a               queen-ace               in               their               hand               so               they               have               a               straight.
                   Think               about               all               the               possible               ways               someone               could               win               and               use               that               to               your               advantage.
                   3.

    Use               the               raises,               checks,               and               bets               to               your               advantage
                   If               you               know               you               have               the               best               hand               with               the               best               flop,               don't               reveal               it.

    Check               and               let               others               bet               and               raise.

    This               is               called               slow               playing               your               hand.

    Do               you               want               to               win               100               chips               or               1000               chips?

    Try               to               wring               out               as               much               as               you               can.

    Bet               low               amounts,               only               raise               a               little               bit.

    Downplay               your               hand               to               your               opponents               and               let               them               guide               you.
                   4.

    Don't               be               complacent,               play               smart,               and               realize               that               luck               is               not               always               on               your               side
                   I               had               pocket               aces               in               a               game               I               was               playing,               naturally               I               was               happy               on               the               inside               because               I               knew               I               had               the               best               hand.

    The               flop               comes               and               lo               and               behold,               another               ace.

    Now               I               had               trips               and               I               know               I               won.

    So               I               raise               a               bet               a               little               bit,               someone               raises               me,               I               raise               them               back.

    The               4th               card               comes,               a               deuce               (2)               of               hearts,               big               deal.

    The               guy               raises               me               and               I               go               all-in               so               he               calls.

    The               last               card               is               a               3               of               hearts.

    We               show               our               hands               and               I               lose.
                   How               could               I               lose               with               pocket               aces?

    My               opponent               won               with               a               flush               and               I               was               knocked               out               of               a               tournament.

    So               the               thing               to               realize               is               that               sometimes               even               if               you               think               you               have               the               best               hand,               it               might               now               always               be               the               case.

    The               goal               is               to               play               your               best               and               hope               for               the               best.

    Don't               give               up               if               you               get               unlucky,               keep               trying,               maybe               bluff               them               out               next               time.

    Just               don't               give               up               so               easily,               don't               quit.

    Review of great poker hands::How to Play Video Poker? - What's Your Question?








    The               Lesser               Known               Fact               About               Positional               Play               -               Everyone               knows               that               the               player               with               the               dealer               button               is               in               the               best               position               since               they               are               the               last               to               act               and               have               an               advantage               to               see               how               strong               or               weak               the               other               players               are.

    However,               since               everyone               with               even               moderate               skills               knows               this,               I               will               take               positional               play               one               step               further.

    On               the               very               first               bet,               right               after               the               first               two               cards               are               dealt               the               small               and               big               blind               have               the               option               to               bet               last.

    Most               often               this               temporary               advantage               is               ignored.

    Some               people               aren't               even               aware               that               they               are               in               the               best               position               this               one               time               in               the               game.

    They               tend               to               ignore               it.
                   The               best               professional               players               are               fully               aware               of               this               one               time               advantage               and               use               it               to               increase               their               winnings               several               times               during               a               sitting.

    If               a               player               in               the               blind               has               a               medium               to               high               pair               in               the               pocket,               or               a               first               tier               hand               such               as               AK,               AQ,               AJ,               A10,               or               even               a               KQ               suited               and               no               major               betting               action               has               occurred,               that               blind               should               make               a               very               large               bet.
                   Why               should               they               do               this               if               they               will               be               in               the               worst               position               for               the               rest               of               the               game               after               this               first               round               of               betting?

    First               they               have               a               great               starting               hand,               which               at               that               point               may               be               the               best               two               cards               on               the               table.

    They               also               want               to               reduce               the               number               of               players               seeing               the               flop               by               weeding               out               players               with               suited               connectors,               low               pairs               and               second               and               third               tier               hands.

    This               will               increase               their               over-all               odds               of               keeping               the               best               hand               after               the               flop.

    It               also               gives               them               a               great               reading               as               to               the               strength               of               the               other               players.
                   Let's               say               you               have               QQ.

    If               one               or               two               other               players               call               your               bet,               you               mainly               have               to               worry               about               a               King               or               Ace               falling               on               the               flop.

    If               either               of               those               two               cards               fall,               you               are               probably               beaten               and               should               fold               on               an               large               bet.

    However,               If               those               two               cards               do               not               show               in               the               flop               you               can               bet               even               higher               and               probably               walk               away               with               all               the               money               in               the               pot               then               or               win               a               monster               pot               at               showdown.
                   Be               careful               if               three               suited               cards               fall               on               the               flop.

    Most               straight               draws               should               have               folded               and               your               queens               will               probably               block               a               high               straight               draw               if               an               AK               or               AJ               went               in               against               you.

    You               can               lose               but               in               general               it               is               a               great               percentage               move               strategically.
                   Check               The               Other               Players               Out
                   Look               at               what               the               players               are               drinking               before               you               sit               down               at               a               table.

    If               two               or               more               players               have               alcoholic               beverages,               your               chances               of               winning               are               very               good.

    Two               tipsy               players               can               feed               the               entire               table.

    When               they               go               broke               and               leave               the               table,               find               a               different               table.

    Even               one               beer               will               loosen               a               player               up               enough               to               take               advantage               of               them.
                   Look               for               Tells               Write               Them               Down               In               A               Small               Notebook
                   You               are               allowed               to               make               notes               at               the               table               as               long               as               you               don't               show               them               to               any               other               player               while               seated               at               the               table.

    When               someone               ask               you               "what               is               the               book               on               this               player"               that               is               what               they               are               talking               about.
                   Read               my               articles               about               tells               to               determine               the               strength               and               weaknesses               of               other               players               hands.

    There               are               physical,               vocal               and               psychological               tells               and               you               can               read               a               person               like               a               book.

    My               three               Associated               Content               articles               will               provide               all               the               information               you               need               to               know               about               tells               and               reading               them.
                   Finally
                   All               good               professional               players               know               to               never               play               if               there               is               anything               on               your               mind.

    Never               play               while               you               are               sick,               depressed               or               even               excited.

    If               you               just               met               a               beauty               that               afternoon               and               have               a               date               with               her               later,               don't               play.

    Don't               think               you               can               mask               your               emotions.

    You               can't.
