Unlike blackjack, which is a game of chance, poker is a game of skill. You win the pot if you have the highest hand. The best hand is a straight flush, which is five cards in the same suit.
Other types of poker are Omaha and Texas Hold’em. These games have different rules, but the basic idea is the same. You make a bet into the pot in the middle and bet again until you fold.
The ante is a type of poker where you need to put a nickel in the pot to begin the game. Each player is dealt five cards and they must ante a certain amount of money. This is done clockwise. The ante is a small amount of money that you need to bet to gain an advantage in the game.
The best hand is a straight flush, also called a royal flush. The straight flush is five cards in the same suit, and they may or may not wrap around.
The high card breaks ties if multiple players tie for the highest card. This may occur if everyone has the same card, or if nobody has a pair. The ace may be high or low.
The best natural hand is a straight flush. The high card may be high or low, but the high card breaks ties. The Royal Flush is a straight flush with an ace.
The three of a kind is a hand containing three cards of the same rank. A pair of kings isn’t bad, but it isn’t the best hand.
