Poker Rules
In poker there is a certain ranking
to each and every card: Ace (the highest), King, Queen, Jack,
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (the lowest). However, Ace, contrary
to the rest of the cards, may alter its features and become
the lowest card, depending on the patterns used. In standard
poker, there are usually 52 cards, but when playing some variation
of poker, wild cards such as joker may sometimes be added fluctuating
the total of cards.
The Basics
There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds
and clubs). No suit is higher than another. All poker hands contain
five cards, the highest hand wins.
The use of Wild Cards depends on the variations,
wild cards take on whatever rank or suit you want it to take.
A wild card can either be a seperate card added like a joker
or you may specifiy a certain card in the standard deck to be
wild like dueces, or whatever else.
The number of cards dealt is dependant on
what type of game you are playing: 5 card stud, you are dealt
five cards and 7 card stud, you are dealt seven. I know this
is obvious, but I don't want anyone to get confused. Five card
draw is the standard poker game where 5 cards are dealt to each
player face down.
Texas Hold'em
Hold'em Poker as is specified here, at http://www.ipokerparty.net,
uses what is called a dealer-button to indicate the theoretical
dealer of each hand. After each hand is completed, as with standard
poker rules, the button moves clockwise to the next active player.
This player will be considered "the dealer" for that
hand. Before the start of the game, internally the Poker system
generates a fresh deck of cards for the hand. On Poker, we use
a single deck of cards to play a hand of poker, where a deck
refers to 52 cards excluding the jokers. Online poker rooms use
what is called the Random Number Generator (RNG) to shuffle a
deck of cards for the hand.
7 Card Stud
The system generates a random set of numbers,
which are used to place a card of the deck in a particular position.
Once the complete deck is created, the deck is used for that
particular hand only.
We shuffle the deck of cards every time we start a hand, and the random numbers
previously generated are discarded and new ones generated before the shuffle.
The RNG code has been successfully audited by BMM, Australia, and its integrity
is verified daily.
