How and Where To Play UK Online Poker
If you are new to Online Poker, we suggest you start with the version
called "Texas Hold em". This is the most widely played 0nline poker
game, and
other types of poker are based on the basics of Texas Hold em.
The aim of poker is to win money from other poker players by taking a
gamble on the cards that have been dealt to you.
All Players are dealt a hand of cards, some of which will be visible,
some (or all) will be hidden.
Each player makes a bet on the strength of their cards in rounds of
betting.
More cards are dealt. and the hands are developed
At the end, the strongest hand wins a showdown ("I´ll see
you")
or all
players but one have folded (retired).
The most important information is the RANKING of the
hands. This is detailed below, strongest is
at
the top.
Royal
Flush:
Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace : the same suit.
Straight
Flush: or
Running Flush
Straight with all five cards in the same suit. (eg all clubs in
sequence)
Four of a
Kind:
Four cards of the same number or face value ("also known as quads").
Full House:
3 cards of one number or face value and two cards of another number or
face value. If 2 or more players have a full house, the hand with the
highest ranking three of a kind ( or "trips") wins.
eg 2 "5"s and 3 Aces beats 2 "6"s and 3 Kings.

5 cards of the same suit. If there is more than 1 flush, the person
with the highest card(s) wins.

have the same high pair, whoever has the 2nd highest pair wins. If they
have the same two pair, whoever has the highest fifth card ("or the
kicker") wins.

2 cards of the same numbe. If 2 players have the same pair, the highest
outside card(s) wins.
