Can someone explain the "big blind vs small blind" rules of 5 Card Stud (Poker)? I've always enjoyed 5 card stud, but have never really understood the nitty gritty ("blinds", etc). Any help would be appreciated!
tiffany j replied: "Blinds are needed to start the pot blinds rotate it all depends on who is the dealer with a big blind you can check with small you choose to call or fold"
Pancakes replied: "Blinds are antes put in to make sure at least 2 players play a hand. A large blind is anted by the player to the dealer's right and can be any amount, let's say $5. The next right player antes a small blind, which is half the large blind, in this case, $2.50. Being forced to pay a blind allows you to play a hand with not so good cards. It prevents everyone from folding and wasting time."
raidered81@sbcglobal.net replied: "The blinds are there to spur action. In a game without blinds, the dealer deals all the cards, and if each person "checks", the dealer gets an unfair advantage, because now he knows that no one feels good about their cards and can open with a large bet to scare off the most, if not all of them.
Now with a mandatory blind, the dealer does not have that advantage. He may call, raise or fold, but he is not the last one to do so in the initial round of betting. He runs the risk of being beat as the two following him have the option of calling, raising or folding, but at least there will be some action."
Sean T replied: "The last two answers were very good in answering your question, and I was wondering if you also meant what it meant to be "small blind versus big blind". If everyone else folds, you have two people still in the pot that have put in money: the small blind and the big blind. Since there is very little in the pot, it's often not worth the risk to gamble for such a small pot. Because of this, gentlemanly card players wil often offer the big blind the option of "chopping", which means the small blind is telling the big blind, let's call it a draw, and I'll take back my small blind and you take back your big blind, we'll save it for the next hand. Usually, the big blind will take the offer, the two blinds pull back their money, and the dealer moves to the left.
Hope all this helps you out!
Good Luck! 74"

rules for poker home games? I am familar with Texas Hold'em tournaments and not so much of general home games of poker. For example, I just played at a home game of dealer's choice poker where we played games such as 7 stud, and 5 card draw; things were different when it came to rotation of who goes first. In Hold'em, the betting rounds after the flop the person to the left of the dealer goes first and it continues around back to the dealer. How does the betting rotation work of who makes the first bet for each round in a home game of poker?
joeschlobotnic replied: "How about Indian poker? I don't know what the PC name for it is. 'Maybe Native American Poker for all I know"
John F replied: "In most games, the betting starts at the left of the dealer.
The only exception I can think of off-hand is any stud-type game where each player has their own Up cards.
The usual way to start the bting in stud is that the lowest up-card has to start the betting on first street, and this is a mandatory bet. On later streets, the player with the best cards showing has the option to open or check."
Keith S replied: "When we play pickup games that we always do left of the dealer for games where no cards are showing and High Hand bets when cards are showing. Though really if its just a game of friends at home it doesnt really matter."
TheDoverPro replied: "Here is a link to Roberts Rules of Poker at greeat site for info on home poker games.
You have to scroll down to get to the stud games, or other variations.
Good luck!"

Rules Of Poker Betting
What are the betting rules of strip poker? As I understand it, clothing is used in place of chips or cash, therefore you could use your winnings as a wager. For example, when you win a hand, the other player removes and item of clothing and you can then put it on, giving you another item to come off before you start exposing anything. Like in regular poker, you add your winnings to your pile and use it in the game.
My boyfriend, on the other hand, thinks you just take off your clothes and leave them off, not give them to the winner. I think he's just saying this to get me naked. What do you guys think?
jj_n_79 replied: "The game can be played based on any variety of poker, with the same number of players, dealing and betting rules, and other details. It usually starts with all players wearing an equal number of articles of clothing. There are a number of ways in which the standard rules can then be developed into strip poker, with varying degrees of similarity to the poker betting found in casinos. Like many other adult party games, the rules are often flexible, and other activities can be included besides playing cards.
Basic Strip Poker Rules
In strip poker, instead of playing for cash, people play for clothes. Alternately, the game can start out with people playing for money, and when players run out of cash, they must offer up articles of clothing to remain in a hand. Whether the clothes are removed before or after the hand varies. Generally, any variation of poker can be played, or any game at all, though usually simpler games with fewer betting rounds -- such as five card draw or one of its variations -- are used to keep the game simple.
How Much Is Each Article Worth?
Before the game begins, players should agree to the value of different clothing items. For example, if a sock is worth one unit, is a shirt worth two? Similarly, is it possible for people to buy back clothes?
Losing and Winning
Generally, a person loses when they have lost all their clothing. The winner is usually the last person with clothes.
But basically the point of the game is to get someone naked.... No if and or but's about it :D"

Poker Rules? All in and betting help? Poker Rules? All in and betting help?
Could anyone please help with this urgently.
In Texas Hold Em (no limit) what are the rules on somebody calling an all in and meeting the minimum bet.
I.e. if the blinds are say 100/200 and a person goes all in with 250 chips does the next rson have to place 400 chips in the pot (to call the 250 and complete the minimum raise) and then all others have to call the 400 atleast to play. If no one calls this the player who placed the 400 in can take 150 back.
I have found these rules on the internet and it is how i have been running my tournement but 1 player is now disputing this and would like to resolve this asap.
Could people answer this could you please let me know if you are familiar with this and what poker background you have.
I would be most grateful for any help.
Many Thanks in advance
Gjhg replied: "they only have to call the 50 chips, they don't have to put in 400. this is how it works at full tilt poker. if you make them put in 400 you give the guy with 250 an unfair advantage because his 50 chips are now worth an extra 100 if that makes sense."
Adam S replied: "The person with $250 has technically made a $50 raise. The players after him can call the $50, for 250 total, or make the complete raise to $400. Once a player is all in, the only obligation is to call whatever bet he put in."
Steve replied: "I agree with the other person who answered (because he is right!) that you never have to call more than what a bet was, even if it was a sub-minimum all in.
There are two tricky issues about sum-minimum all-in bets that you should be aware of:
1. What's the next minimum raise? Typically, a minimum raise in a no-limit or pot limit game indicates a beginner, but it will still be asked. There isn't a hard and fast rule here -- I've seen it go either way.
Say the first bet (or the blind) is $100, and someone goes all in for $125, most places play that you can make a minimum raise which essentially completes the raise -- i.e. to $200 -- and other places play that a minimum raise is $100, so the smallest next increment is $225. You could do it either way, but decide up front what it is and stick with it. (This is for no- or pot-limit. In limit, the next raise is to complete the raise that was made, usually, though I have seen it where the next raise is a full raise. Obviously, whichever your house rule states isn't a "minimum" raise in limit poker, it's the only choice.)
2. Does a sub-minimum all-in raise open up the betting again for the original bettor? This is very tricky, because the answer differs for limit vs. no- or pot-limit.
Set-up: On the flop, let's say that Player A bets $100, B goes all in for $150, and C calls. (Both A and C have lots more money in front of them.) Can Player A reraise?
Answer: In no- or pot-limit, emphatically NO! Only a complete raise re-opens the betting for the original bettor. However, in limit, because the all-in was more than half of the bet, then yes, Player A may now raise again, though (see #1) in most places, all he can do is to complete the bet to $200."

Mark H replied: "You bet as many chips as you want to based upon how much better you think your hand is than anyone elses. There is no rule as to how much you bet"
LuckyLove8 replied: "How To Play Hold'em Poker"
JudasHero replied: "It depends on the limit. There are several variations:
1. Fixed Limit: Probably the simplest. The amount of betting is fixed and the amount is up to you. Usually it's slightly higher in the later rounds. Generally, you want to make the earlier rounds about 2% of the person's average amount of chips, and the later rounds 4%. So if everyone's playing for $10, a good fixed limit amount is 20/40 cents. When playing fixed limit, there's usually a "cap", or maximum number of bets you can make (usually 3-4) per round. You can play any variation of poker with this limit, but it can get kind of monotonous after awhile.
2. Spread limit: Usually used in stud games. You're allowed to bet within a certain range every round (usually between about 1%-5% of the average amount of money; so in the previous example where everyone has $10, a good spread limit would be 10-50 cents). Again, there's usually a "cap."
3. Pot Limit: Pot limit is often used in games where there's fewer rounds of betting, like 5 card draw or Omaha or Hold Em. In Pot Limit, you're allowed to bet up to the amount in the pot at any time. So, if there's 50 cents in the pot, you can bet up to 50 cents. If someone raises 30 cents and the pot becomes 80 cents, then the next person can raise up to 80 cents when it's his turn. With Pot Limit, there's no cap.
4. No Limit. Similar to Pot Limit (no cap, can bet any time, etc), except anybody can bet any amount (up to what they have in front of them) at any time. By far the most creative form, but also potentially the craziest. If spread or fixed limit are getting boring, I recommend starting with pot.
Some extras:
Check-raising: Legal in casinos and official games, but often not allowed in home games. A check-raise is when a player checks and then raises when another player bets to him. It's a strategical move, and is often not allowed in home games.
All-in: An all-in is when a player puts the remainder of his money/chips in the pot. This situation is a little more complicated, since not all players have the same amount of chips/money at the same time. If one player has fewer chips than the remainder of the players in the hand and puts them into the pot, he is only allowed to win up to whatever he puts in. For instance, let's say we have
Player A ($8)
Player B ($12)
Player C ($20)
If all players were to go all in, Player A could only win up to $24 (His $8, plus $8 from Players B & C). If Player B were to go all in, he could win Player A's $8, and $12 from Player C at most (for a total of $32). Player C could win all of Player A and Player B's money, since he has them "covered" (has more chips/money than they do).
If all players go all in, there are now 2 pots: a main pot and a side pot. The main pot consists of the money that could go to ANY player: that would be $24 (Player A's $8, plus $8 from the other two players). Player A has no money left, but Player B has $4 left and Player C has $12 left. If those two continue to bet, they are now playing for a "side" pot. Since Player A has no money in the side pot, he can't win it, but player B or player C could. So if Player B were to go all in with his remaining $4 and player C were to call him (he can't raise, since there's no more money), the side pot would be $8."

Texas Hold'em poker rules!!? What is the blind and what does it do in the game? Okay so....
At the start the dealer chip is given to a player.
The two players to the left of the dealer, have to pay up.
I know that this is the limit of betting, so there is a small blind and a big blind!
But how does thew blind work?
Walter S replied: "It goes around the table and goes up usually after a certian amount of time, to keep the game going otherwise you could site there and wait for a hand forever.the big blind is twice the the small blind. and the small blind has the option."
poker,,, n.l.holdem....can anyone tell me the rule ( betting pattern ) when you flop the nuts...? I know that you cant just check... must bet.... and if someone bets before you ..you must raise.. keeps the betting and play moving... but i cant find this rule written down.. so lemme know if you can... cheers..
SpiderWeb Sports.com replied: "No good players follow a strict set of rules (except for the rules of the game of course). Your strategy must be adaptable to game, opponent, situation, etc and what you will do in this situation will vary depending on the all of the aforementioned."
High Roller replied: "You'll be very predictable if you keep playing the exact same way..."
Adam S replied: "There are many different ways you can play the nuts and there are no set rules on how to play them.
A couple of points: Are the nuts on the flop the stone cold nuts? Meaning that while they are the nuts on the flop, is it possible that the turn or river cards could create a hand that could still beat yours?
If not, and your hand is truly unbeatable, you're in the drivers' seat. At this point it becomes a matter of how many people are in the hand and what your position is. Lets say you get lucky and there are 5 or 6 people in the hand on the flop. If you're first or second to act, you're better off making a small bet to induce action. A big bet may drive other players out and if your hand is unbeatable you want as many people to stay and call as possible.
This is also where knowing the other players and the flow of the game helps. If you're at a table full of wild players or just players who frequently bet, you could check and assume someone else will bet; then you can check-raise them when the betting comes back to you.
Here's another thing to keep in mind: Is the board so obvious that no one would call a bet? If the board is AAK, QQQ or three flush cards (etc), almost no one is going to call any kind of bet. You could either bet out and hope someone will be dumb enough to call, or check and see if the turn card will improve the other players enough that they will bet or call then. If the board is scary there's not going to be a lot of action.
If you're in early position, bet and get re-raised, You're better off not re-raising on the flop because you may chase out some other callers with your re-raise. Keep them in so you can make more money off of them later in the hand.
So, that's just some of the strategy you have to bear in mind, and that's only from one playing position on the flop. When you're in a different position, or if there are fewer players in the pot, or the table plays tighter, the strategies will be different and you'll play the hand entirely differently, plus there will be entirely different strategies for the turn and river cards. Obviously no one of these is THE right play and nothing is set in stone."
ADF replied: "Adam makes alot of good points. Let me add a couple things assuming that you cannot be beat, or only a miracle card or runner runner can....
Is it Limit or No-Limit/Pot-Limit?
In Limit it is more likely that people will call you if they have a draw, even on some scary looking boards. This is because they are only risking one small bet.
That being said, it also depends on who the players are and how many there are. If it is only you and one or two others, and they are the type of players that will fold easily, check and then call if someone else bets...then bet on the turn regardless of what comes.
If there are many other players and some of them are a bit wild it depends on where the wild ones are.....if they are right behind you and you expect them to bet check and let them start the action. If they are wild and everyone knows it, they are likely to get many calls or even get raised. If they get just calls, check-raise the table. If someone else raises them, just smooth call the raise and any more raises. Then check again on the turn and go for the check-raise then.
In No-limit or Pot-limit you can generally afford to check, and even if no one bets, you can still win a big pot with future betting. If it checks around, throw in a relatively small bet of about half the size of the pot. This is a standard play and you could be doing it with the nuts, on the draw, have a weak hand, or be on a total bluff.....if you get called or raised you now are at least building a pot and hope to make a lot of chips. If you don't no one probably had anything anyway and you just have to be satisfied.
Never check it all the way to the river. I have seen a couple situations where people missed out on alot of money.
1. One guy flopped a straight flush and one flopped the nut A high flush. The straight flush never bet always looking for the check raise and the board paired on the river so the nut A high flush never bet either. The straight flush could have made alot as the A high would have raised him every time until the river, and would still have called the river.
2. This one really cost a couple of friends money. It was a $3-$6 limit hold'em game. The button raised with AA and the big blind just called with two tens. Being friends they agreed to check it down to the river. The flop came A-10-10, but neither put a bet in for the rest of the hand. Where the big cost was....this casino had a Bad-beat Jack-pot over $60k at the time (half to the "loser" and a quarter to the "winner" and the table split the rest) if Aces full of Tens were beaten by Quads or better. The problem was there had to be a minimum of $20 in the pot to qualify. There was only $13 (preflop raise to $6, +$1 for the Small Blind, +$6 for the Big Blind call.) The friends ended up missing out on $45k between them because they wouldn't bet.
Have Fun!!"
avocadoadam replied: "I dont think there is a rule like that... unless your casino or house game has games has that rule...... here is a link of rule of pokers
"
jwbovftn9d replied: "That depends on you.
Lets say you are the first to act. The flop comes up and you have the nuts. It depends on what is on the board, how much is in the pot, how many people are in the pot, and who are you playing with.
If the there is a possible draw in the middle, you may want to bet to make sure someone does not hit their flush when you have a straight. Maybe you flopped a full house and you want to have some action, you could put in a small bet or have someone try to make a play for the pot."
Home poker rules...to have each player be responsible for their own best hand or not? So lets say "Player1" is up for dealing and explains a poker game and the rules of gameplay. (e.g. Omaha Hi-Lo, Baseball, 7 card stud, etc) Player1 deals the cards and after betting Player1 doesn't have a winning hand; Player2 and Player3 agree that Player2 beat Player3's hand. Player2 is about to take his chips and at this instant Player1 realizes Player3 has a better hand afterall. what is done here?
a) Does Player1 speak up who really won before Player2 takes the chips?
or
b) Does Player2 take the chips afterall?
cory m replied: "well if the better hand is by poker rules(as trips or 3 of a kind beats a 2 pairs) then the person with trips wins regardless of what they agree on. At least that's how i play."
Mick Shrimpton replied: "With the ring of friends I play with most, we always point out the best hand if mis-called by a player, whether it be a winning hand or a losing hand that the player called out as a winner.
In this case, Player 1 wins as long as he kept the pot straight and didn't muck his hand already."
LegFuJohnson replied: "In any organized game, the cards speak... so best hand wins. But it's a home game, do what you want.
I'd think in that spot I'd speak up, I must have explained the rules incorrectly if two players think the wrong person won."
joemonty2000 replied: "The Dealer is in charge of the table-PERIOD. Especially if that dealer has called the type of game for that hand. No one should be upset, or take offense to being told they don't actually have the best hand, as rules are rules. They may not like it, but that's the way it goes.
Dealers are in charge of directing the action of the players, the pot, and any side pots and if they see the winning hand it is their responsibility to point it out."
Bill F replied: "cards speak
if you are friends, player 1 should definitely speak up. in a casino, it gets a little stickier, but speaking up is still okay. but in a home again, absolutely give the money to the person who has the best hand.
hope that helps"

Some extras:
Check-raising: Legal in casinos and official games, but often not allowed in home games. A check-raise is when a player checks and then raises when another player bets to him. It's a strategical move, and is often not allowed in home games.
All-in: An all-in is when a player puts the remainder of his money/chips in the pot. This situation is a little more complicated, since not all players have the same amount of chips/money at the same time. If one player has fewer chips than the remainder of the players in the hand and puts them into the pot, he is only allowed to win up to whatever he puts in. For instance, let's say we have
Player A ($8)
Player B ($12)
Player C ($20)
If all players were to go all in, Player A could only win up to $24 (His $8, plus $8 from Players B & C). If Player B were to go all in, he could win Player A's $8, and $12 from Player C at most (for a total of $32). Player C could win all of Player A and Player B's money, since he has them "covered" (has more chips/money than they do).
If all players go all in, there are now 2 pots: a main pot and a side pot. The main pot consists of the money that could go to ANY player: that would be $24 (Player A's $8, plus $8 from the other two players). Player A has no money left, but Player B has $4 left and Player C has $12 left. If those two continue to bet, they are now playing for a "side" pot. Since Player A has no money in the side pot, he can't win it, but player B or player C could. So if Player B were to go all in with his remaining $4 and player C were to call him (he can't raise, since there's no more money), the side pot would be $8."

Texas Hold'em poker rules!!? What is the blind and what does it do in the game? Okay so....
At the start the dealer chip is given to a player.
The two players to the left of the dealer, have to pay up.
I know that this is the limit of betting, so there is a small blind and a big blind!
But how does thew blind work?
Walter S replied: "It goes around the table and goes up usually after a certian amount of time, to keep the game going otherwise you could site there and wait for a hand forever.the big blind is twice the the small blind. and the small blind has the option."
poker,,, n.l.holdem....can anyone tell me the rule ( betting pattern ) when you flop the nuts...? I know that you cant just check... must bet.... and if someone bets before you ..you must raise.. keeps the betting and play moving... but i cant find this rule written down.. so lemme know if you can... cheers..
SpiderWeb Sports.com replied: "No good players follow a strict set of rules (except for the rules of the game of course). Your strategy must be adaptable to game, opponent, situation, etc and what you will do in this situation will vary depending on the all of the aforementioned."
High Roller replied: "You'll be very predictable if you keep playing the exact same way..."
Adam S replied: "There are many different ways you can play the nuts and there are no set rules on how to play them.
A couple of points: Are the nuts on the flop the stone cold nuts? Meaning that while they are the nuts on the flop, is it possible that the turn or river cards could create a hand that could still beat yours?
If not, and your hand is truly unbeatable, you're in the drivers' seat. At this point it becomes a matter of how many people are in the hand and what your position is. Lets say you get lucky and there are 5 or 6 people in the hand on the flop. If you're first or second to act, you're better off making a small bet to induce action. A big bet may drive other players out and if your hand is unbeatable you want as many people to stay and call as possible.
This is also where knowing the other players and the flow of the game helps. If you're at a table full of wild players or just players who frequently bet, you could check and assume someone else will bet; then you can check-raise them when the betting comes back to you.
Here's another thing to keep in mind: Is the board so obvious that no one would call a bet? If the board is AAK, QQQ or three flush cards (etc), almost no one is going to call any kind of bet. You could either bet out and hope someone will be dumb enough to call, or check and see if the turn card will improve the other players enough that they will bet or call then. If the board is scary there's not going to be a lot of action.
If you're in early position, bet and get re-raised, You're better off not re-raising on the flop because you may chase out some other callers with your re-raise. Keep them in so you can make more money off of them later in the hand.
So, that's just some of the strategy you have to bear in mind, and that's only from one playing position on the flop. When you're in a different position, or if there are fewer players in the pot, or the table plays tighter, the strategies will be different and you'll play the hand entirely differently, plus there will be entirely different strategies for the turn and river cards. Obviously no one of these is THE right play and nothing is set in stone."
ADF replied: "Adam makes alot of good points. Let me add a couple things assuming that you cannot be beat, or only a miracle card or runner runner can....
Is it Limit or No-Limit/Pot-Limit?
In Limit it is more likely that people will call you if they have a draw, even on some scary looking boards. This is because they are only risking one small bet.
That being said, it also depends on who the players are and how many there are. If it is only you and one or two others, and they are the type of players that will fold easily, check and then call if someone else bets...then bet on the turn regardless of what comes.
If there are many other players and some of them are a bit wild it depends on where the wild ones are.....if they are right behind you and you expect them to bet check and let them start the action. If they are wild and everyone knows it, they are likely to get many calls or even get raised. If they get just calls, check-raise the table. If someone else raises them, just smooth call the raise and any more raises. Then check again on the turn and go for the check-raise then.
In No-limit or Pot-limit you can generally afford to check, and even if no one bets, you can still win a big pot with future betting. If it checks around, throw in a relatively small bet of about half the size of the pot. This is a standard play and you could be doing it with the nuts, on the draw, have a weak hand, or be on a total bluff.....if you get called or raised you now are at least building a pot and hope to make a lot of chips. If you don't no one probably had anything anyway and you just have to be satisfied.
Never check it all the way to the river. I have seen a couple situations where people missed out on alot of money.
1. One guy flopped a straight flush and one flopped the nut A high flush. The straight flush never bet always looking for the check raise and the board paired on the river so the nut A high flush never bet either. The straight flush could have made alot as the A high would have raised him every time until the river, and would still have called the river.
2. This one really cost a couple of friends money. It was a $3-$6 limit hold'em game. The button raised with AA and the big blind just called with two tens. Being friends they agreed to check it down to the river. The flop came A-10-10, but neither put a bet in for the rest of the hand. Where the big cost was....this casino had a Bad-beat Jack-pot over $60k at the time (half to the "loser" and a quarter to the "winner" and the table split the rest) if Aces full of Tens were beaten by Quads or better. The problem was there had to be a minimum of $20 in the pot to qualify. There was only $13 (preflop raise to $6, +$1 for the Small Blind, +$6 for the Big Blind call.) The friends ended up missing out on $45k between them because they wouldn't bet.
Have Fun!!"
avocadoadam replied: "I dont think there is a rule like that... unless your casino or house game has games has that rule...... here is a link of rule of pokers
"
jwbovftn9d replied: "That depends on you.
Lets say you are the first to act. The flop comes up and you have the nuts. It depends on what is on the board, how much is in the pot, how many people are in the pot, and who are you playing with.
If the there is a possible draw in the middle, you may want to bet to make sure someone does not hit their flush when you have a straight. Maybe you flopped a full house and you want to have some action, you could put in a small bet or have someone try to make a play for the pot."
Home poker rules...to have each player be responsible for their own best hand or not? So lets say "Player1" is up for dealing and explains a poker game and the rules of gameplay. (e.g. Omaha Hi-Lo, Baseball, 7 card stud, etc) Player1 deals the cards and after betting Player1 doesn't have a winning hand; Player2 and Player3 agree that Player2 beat Player3's hand. Player2 is about to take his chips and at this instant Player1 realizes Player3 has a better hand afterall. what is done here?
a) Does Player1 speak up who really won before Player2 takes the chips?
or
b) Does Player2 take the chips afterall?
cory m replied: "well if the better hand is by poker rules(as trips or 3 of a kind beats a 2 pairs) then the person with trips wins regardless of what they agree on. At least that's how i play."
Mick Shrimpton replied: "With the ring of friends I play with most, we always point out the best hand if mis-called by a player, whether it be a winning hand or a losing hand that the player called out as a winner.
In this case, Player 1 wins as long as he kept the pot straight and didn't muck his hand already."
LegFuJohnson replied: "In any organized game, the cards speak... so best hand wins. But it's a home game, do what you want.
I'd think in that spot I'd speak up, I must have explained the rules incorrectly if two players think the wrong person won."
joemonty2000 replied: "The Dealer is in charge of the table-PERIOD. Especially if that dealer has called the type of game for that hand. No one should be upset, or take offense to being told they don't actually have the best hand, as rules are rules. They may not like it, but that's the way it goes.
Dealers are in charge of directing the action of the players, the pot, and any side pots and if they see the winning hand it is their responsibility to point it out."
Bill F replied: "cards speak
if you are friends, player 1 should definitely speak up. in a casino, it gets a little stickier, but speaking up is still okay. but in a home again, absolutely give the money to the person who has the best hand.
hope that helps"
Rules Of Poker Card Game
What are the rules for a non poker card game called Pass the Trash which a large group can play? We played this game in St. Louis one time with a large group of people and you passed one card around the table. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
cherryred64gto replied: "I consulted my BIG BOOK (The New Complete Hoyle Revised) and I am sorry to inform you the game does not exist. If it existed, it would be listed. Hoyle is the ultimate authority, take it from me, the Queen of Games, thusly dubbed due to my massive game collection and love of all things game, anyhow, it is not even a variant of a game, I looked. It must've been a local game invented by the people you were playing it with or someone they knew. Why not contact them?"
childhoodtrauma replied: "depends on variatiions. my variation is:
set out three stacks of money (3 one dollar bills, three quarters, three poker chips. three whatevers)
everyone gets one card per deal(deal is passed,or at least the person with first choice is passed each deal)
a king is flipped up immediately and is a blocker. no one can trade cards with a king.
after that the first person is asked if he wants to keep his card or trade with player number two (assuming #2 has no king). #2 then is asked to change with number three, etc the last person can trade with the top of the deck.
if any of the players has the king (like player #3) player #2 can not pass and is stuck with the card he ends up with
once everyone passes or stays, flip over the cards. the player with the lowest card (or players if there is a tie, and aces are low) puts one stack in the pot.
when a player has nothing left to put in the pot they are out of the game.
the last player with a pile left wins"

The Sophisticated One replied: "Play a little game i like to call up the river,
First shuffle
Then deal everyone 5 cards
Then put four community cards out in the middle of the table face down.
Now the fun begins, flip one over, now the betting begins, its like an auction, you bid on the community card.
Bidding goes around the table once someone says they dont want it they are out for at least that community card.
Once the card is bought, the person who buys it must put one of their 5 cards in its {comunity card} place.
And the auction begins once again on his card he threw.
This keeps on going to all at the table dont want the comunity card that face up, then move on to the second comunity card.
This could go on all night or fairly quikly.
Once you have done this and the 4 community card spots have run their course, then one final bet is made on your hand.
This is one of my favorite games, pots usually get to bout 20-40 dollars when we play with quarters!!!"

Some card game rules? Could someone please give me the entire rules to:
* Poker (not Texas Hold 'em)
* Hearts
* Old Maid
Daddy G replied: "For Poker,
In casual play, the right to deal a hand typically rotates among the players and is marked by a token called a 'dealer' button (or "buck"). In a casino, a house dealer handles the cards for each hand, but the button (typically a white plastic disk) is rotated clockwise among the players to indicate a nominal dealer to determine the order of betting.
One or more players are usually required to make forced bets, usually either an ante or a blind bet (sometimes both). The dealer shuffles the cards, the player one chair to his right cuts, and the dealer deals the appropriate number of cards to the players one at a time. Cards may be dealt either face-up or face-down, depending on the variant of poker being played. After the initial deal, the first of what may be several betting rounds begins. Between rounds, the players' hands develop in some way, often by being dealt additional cards or replacing cards previously dealt. At the end of each round, all bets are gathered into the central pot.
At any time during a betting round, if one player bets and no opponents choose to "call" (match) the bet and instead "fold", the hand ends immediately, the bettor is awarded the pot, no cards are required to be shown, and the next hand begins. This is what makes bluffing possible. Bluffing is a primary feature of poker, one that distinguishes it from other vying games and from other games that make use of poker hand rankings.
At the end of the last betting round, if more than one player remains, there is a showdown, in which the players reveal their previously hidden cards and evaluate their hands. The player with the best hand according to the poker variant being played wins the pot. A poker hand consists of five cards, but in some variants a player has more than five to choose from.
In Hearts,
check out
There are loads of ways u can play the game.
In Old Maid,
The dealer deals all of the cards to the players. Some players may have more cards than others, this is acceptable. Players look at their cards and discard any pairs they have (i.e., 2 Kings, 2 Sevens, etc) face up. Players do not discard three of a kind. In some variants, the colors in a discarded pair must match: ♠with ♣ and ♦ with ♥.
Beginning with the dealer, each player takes turns offering his hand facedown to the person on his left. That person selects a card and adds it to his or her hand. This player then sees if the selected card makes a pair with their original cards. If so, the pair is discarded face up as well. The player who just took a card then offers his or her hand to the person to their left and so on. A player is allowed to shuffle his hand before offering it to the player on his left. In some variants, all players discard after the dealer has drawn.
The object of the game is to continue to take cards, discarding pairs, until one is left with no cards. The player left with the odd queen (that has no matching queen) is stuck with the "Old Maid" and loses.
Hope It Works Out! =)"
What does a Poker Dealer do during a game of poker? Listen me and my friends are playing poker the weekend but they chose me to be the dealer of the poker game but i don't know what the dealer does during the game besides pass out cards. I want to know what the dealer needs to know to be a poker dealer so please help me. Also if possible can you you tell me the offical rules of poker,
kutekymmee replied: "its also the dealers job to keep track of bets, how much is bet, who is up, how much is in the pot, how much the antes are, splitting pots, chip races, etc."
Sean T replied: "If it's a friendly home game, encourage a poker game type known as "Dealer's Choice". You'll need a dealer button or marker, and the dealer button gets passed around the table to the left, and each person who deals picks the style of poker game you will be playing. One person may pick Texas Hold 'Em, the next may pick Tahoe, 7 Card, etc. It's fun and mixes up play to make the home game more interesting (and also not to let one person dominate the whole night and make it depressing to others!).
If it's serious poker you're dealing with, then your responsibilities are:
1. Proper shuffling of the cards.
2. A proper deal, in the proper order, giving each person the proper number of cards.
3. Keep the bottom card of the deck hidden by using a cut card. The dealer should not expose any cards that are in the deck that shouldn't be shown during game play. A misdeal ticks off everyone at the table, so the dealer shouldn't mess this up. Don't give anyone any additional information that they shouldn't know.
4. Dealer should keep track of the buttons, depending on the game. If using a dealer button, small blind button, and big blind button, the buttons need to be properly rotated (again, to the left of the last dealer). This ensures that no one misses a blind and doesn't pay their due. If you're not using buttons but are using antes, be sure that everyone places their ante before the cards are dealt and be sure it's the right amount.
5. The dealer should re-announce the player's actions. If a player raises, the player usually will say "call" or "Raise", but in some casinos, people can just place twice the bet and it implies a raise. Because of this, the dealer has to pay attention to the action and the amount raised. If the player raises $4, the dealer should say "Raising 4 dollars", then the dealer moves his attention to the next player to the left of the raiser. Some dealers will actually point towards the next player (with your index finger extended and you hand on the table, don't point in the air across the table) or some may tap the felt in front of the player. When this is done, the dealer can tell the player how much it is to call. For example, if the four dollar raise makes it $8 to call the player, the dealer would point to the next player and say "$8 to call".
6. Once the bet or raise has been made, it is the dealer's responsibility that anyone who is not in the hand folds their cards to the dealer. Also, make sure that no one at the table has been skipped during the course of play.
7. Dealers should collect all folded cards, then pull the pot money towards the center of the table so that any future bets do not get lost in the main pot.
8. Dealers should keep track of all action and keep it moving. If working for a casino, the casino takes a "rake" from each pot to keep for the house's benefit. If the rake is 10% and the pot is $100, the dealer is responsible for taking $10 out of the pot and placing it in a rake box so that it cannot be taken back out again.
9. Dealers are sometimes responsible for announcing the winner of the hand, though some houses allow the cards to do the talking.
Additionally, dealers have to:
1. Assist players who aren't sure of the winner, and be able to explain why the hand was one. In Texas Hold 'Em, for example, on the top 5 cards win, not the top 6. People often get in arguments when two players both have made a straight, but think their sixth card should determine the winner. This is not the case. A good dealer should be ready to read the rules according to Hoyle to these people and let them know why the pot was split or why one or the other lost.
2. Split pots - be able to add, stack chips, split the pot equally.
3. Side pots - when one player has fewer chips than others, that player may be able to only take a smaller pot. This would cause a side pot to be in play, which is often the responsibility of the dealer to set that pot to the side and remind the short player to not turn over his cards until the others have concluded play.
4. Cashing chips - taking the money from a player and exchanging a proper amount of chips to the player.
5. Allowing the "eye in the sky" to view money coming from the box to the player. You just can't take a players money in a casino. The money has to be laid on the table so the cameras can see it, or the poker room boss can see it. When the money is passed to the player, the dealer usually has to present the chips in such a way so that superiors can see the proper amount was exchanged.
6. Keep track of having an adequate amount of chips in the dealer's chips box.
Official rules of poker...depends on the game. Check some websites for the official rules.
If you're interested in dealing in Vegas, just apply for a job. Just know that you're not likely to be dealing at the Bellagio for your first job...it takes time, unless you know someone who can streamline you in. I've seen plenty of dealers in Vegas who don't know how to properly run a poker table, and it seems they get new dealers every month, so I am assuming it's not as hard as it once was.
Have fun...hope this helps!!!"
icehoundxx replied: "Dealers pass out the cards to the players as well as community cards (if necessary depending on the game) ... Dealers also monitor bets made by the players in the game.
Dealers also handle changing and cashing out of player's money before and after they play.

Does anyone know how to play the Jack Daniels poker game? we have been given a jack daniels branded poker game - it has cards and dice with stuff written on them. Does any one have a clue how to play this game as there is no rules with them. We know how to play poker but are not sure about this dice set. Any help greatly appreciated.
pete uk replied: "well there seems to be so many of these. i googled it and you will have to choose which one."
Does this rule apply to the game of poker? Basically me and my friends were playing some poker. One of my friends had a straight and didn't realize, and i had won the hand do to his mistake. I had taken the chips i earned, and the cards were put back into the deck. He soon realized he had a straight. My other friend said he had won the hand and deserved the chips. I stated that when playing poker the general rule is to recognize your hand. If you don't, you don't get the chips unless you recognize what you have when its time to show the cards. Is this a rule of poker? Or did he earn the chips?
JDjoduJD replied: "at the end where the player shows the card, you basically declare what you have. he didn't declare it. u win. that's the rule. buy a poker book that explains it if you want.
in a friendly game, we all usually let it go, cuz it happens, and give them the chips. we NEVER let it go if he can't prove it. that's just bullshit. never will anyone let him get the chips. slap him in the face for me"

Vegas Matt replied: "Once all the cards hit the muck (in other words, once you've put them back into the pile to start shuffling for the next hand) the cards are dead and the hand is over. You cannot go back and try to reconstruct the hand. Since he did not object before the chips were pushed to you and the cards were put into the muck, it's too late. You win the hand."
G Y replied: "When the final bet is made it is said that you 'call'- meaning it's time to show your hand. If you see the other player has the winning hand, you can just throw yours in. If you don't 'call' and there is only one player left, that player wins and doesn't have to even show his cards. So bottom line - you can't win retroactively because you say you had a better hand. That's a learning lesson for your friend. Mistakes are made every hand. Either by the betting method or other strategy. Watch poker on TV and you'll see what I mean."
pdq replied: "Really it's up to you and your friends to decide ahead of time whether or not you use the rule that casinos use. It's called "Cards Speak".
If you turn your hand up so that everyone can see it, then the Cards Speak whatever the best hand is. In other words, it's possible to have a pair of Aces and SAY that your hand is a pair of Aces, but when you turn your cards face up, someone else can see that you also have a straight. If you decide ahead of time that "cards speak", the person will always get credit for the straight - even if they didn't see it.
With that being said - Once the hand is over and done, and the pot has been given, and the cards collected; technically there's no recourse for someone that thought the hands were misread. He should be out of luck.
HOWEVER...you said you and your FRIENDS were playing. If they are really your friends, you might want to act more like a friend than a poker player. If you were positive that, yes - he had the straight, then you probably should let him have the pot.
Long story short: Rules in casinos say "cards speak". Decide ahead of time if you and your friends will follow that rule, or if you have to "declare" your hand. (Almost nobody plays where you have to declare to win. It brings up lots of problems. What happens when someone declares a pair of Aces, but then changes their mind when they see the straight? It's not worth the arguments it'll bring.) Also mention next time before you start that once the hand is over, it's OVER. No 'take backs' or 're-dos'."
Hairy Hillbilly replied: "Youse right, He's wrong It's called Hoyle and it's the rule of poker. He'd got shot and throwed out the little round window on the side of a river boat in 1800's for tryin to cheat"
f100_supersabre replied: "In MOST "professional" games, the cards declare themselves, even if the player "miscalls" his hand.
It depends on the "house" rules.
HOWEVER, IF the error is NOT spotted, and the cards are then put back into the deck, the hand is over and can NOT be corrected."
Vittorio the Froidian replied: "he mucked them and since the chips were raked in and the cards were int he deck there is no way to prove it,
so in the end he mucked once there in the muck you cant unmuck unless your in a game with a host who makes up his own rules lol
you won the pot so give your friends a quarter each so they can call someoen who gives a crap"
Puzzled? replied: "When the hand is over and the cards are turned up, the cards speak for themselves.
If he miss calls his hand but someone else at the table sees it, your suppose to speak up. When the cards are tabled is the time to choose who won the hand, even if it's not recognized by the player playing the hand. It's the job of everybody at the table to make sure the right person gets the pot.
After the cards are put back into the deck and re shuffled and the pot is scooped it's too late.
Also if a player thinks he's beat and doesn't table his hand but throws his cards in the muck it's a dead hand and he can't win the pot. Even if he realizes he had the straight, you can't retrieve your cards from the muck."
Does anyone know what the name of this card game is? It's kind of like poker...but not exactly similar. The objective is to be the first to get rid of your cards. People get any number of cards, based on how many are playing. If there are 3 players, each get 18 cards.
Basic rules:
the order from smallest in value to highest in value is: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A,2, black joker, red joker.
The player with the three of clubs starts off, and people follow in his/her steps. The player who goes after must put out a combination of cards greater in value than the player before.
Combinations:
Single card-- a single card is put out, and people follow. If a three is put out, then the next player needs a four or higher, etc. This continues until no one has anything higher or does not want to put out something higher.
You can also have pairs of cards--like two jacks, two kings, etc. If this is put out, then the other players must have a higher pair in order to make a move. You can also have pairs that connect. You can have a pair of 3's connected with a pair of 4's. Or, you can have 3's, 4's, 5's, and 6's.
There is another combo where you can have a triplet of anything combined with a pair of anything. Ex. 333 and 55. When other players make their move their triplet must be bigger than the previous triplet.
There is also a single card connection. you can have a combo like 3-4-5-6-7. The only rule is that you must have 5 connecting cards or more. So, you cannot do 3-4-5. you must have at least 5. When other players follow, their lowest card in the order must be higher than the lowest of the previous one.
There is also a 4 of a kind thing, that is nicknamed a "bomb" If you put out this, along with any single card, it is bigger than any combo. There are also low bombs and high bombs. Four 3's isn't as good as four 2's.
The whole objective is to get rid of your cards, moving in turns. When you are the player who closes a round, you get to make the opening move the next round, which poses an advantage.
if anyone knows what this game is, please help. It was fun playing it, but no one has any idea what the name of the game is. lol Thanks for your help
Also, suits don't seem to matter when talking about what card is higher than another.

Hoyle is the ultimate authority, take it from me, the Queen of Games, thusly dubbed due to my massive game collection and love of all things game, anyhow, it is not even a variant of a game, I looked. It must've been a local game invented by the people you were playing it with or someone they knew. Why not contact them?"
childhoodtrauma replied: "depends on variatiions. my variation is:
set out three stacks of money (3 one dollar bills, three quarters, three poker chips. three whatevers)
everyone gets one card per deal(deal is passed,or at least the person with first choice is passed each deal)
a king is flipped up immediately and is a blocker. no one can trade cards with a king.
after that the first person is asked if he wants to keep his card or trade with player number two (assuming #2 has no king). #2 then is asked to change with number three, etc the last person can trade with the top of the deck.
if any of the players has the king (like player #3) player #2 can not pass and is stuck with the card he ends up with
once everyone passes or stays, flip over the cards. the player with the lowest card (or players if there is a tie, and aces are low) puts one stack in the pot.
when a player has nothing left to put in the pot they are out of the game.
the last player with a pile left wins"

The Sophisticated One replied: "Play a little game i like to call up the river,
First shuffle
Then deal everyone 5 cards
Then put four community cards out in the middle of the table face down.
Now the fun begins, flip one over, now the betting begins, its like an auction, you bid on the community card.
Bidding goes around the table once someone says they dont want it they are out for at least that community card.
Once the card is bought, the person who buys it must put one of their 5 cards in its {comunity card} place.
And the auction begins once again on his card he threw.
This keeps on going to all at the table dont want the comunity card that face up, then move on to the second comunity card.
This could go on all night or fairly quikly.
Once you have done this and the 4 community card spots have run their course, then one final bet is made on your hand.
This is one of my favorite games, pots usually get to bout 20-40 dollars when we play with quarters!!!"

Some card game rules? Could someone please give me the entire rules to:
* Poker (not Texas Hold 'em)
* Hearts
* Old Maid
Daddy G replied: "For Poker,
In casual play, the right to deal a hand typically rotates among the players and is marked by a token called a 'dealer' button (or "buck"). In a casino, a house dealer handles the cards for each hand, but the button (typically a white plastic disk) is rotated clockwise among the players to indicate a nominal dealer to determine the order of betting.
One or more players are usually required to make forced bets, usually either an ante or a blind bet (sometimes both). The dealer shuffles the cards, the player one chair to his right cuts, and the dealer deals the appropriate number of cards to the players one at a time. Cards may be dealt either face-up or face-down, depending on the variant of poker being played. After the initial deal, the first of what may be several betting rounds begins. Between rounds, the players' hands develop in some way, often by being dealt additional cards or replacing cards previously dealt. At the end of each round, all bets are gathered into the central pot.
At any time during a betting round, if one player bets and no opponents choose to "call" (match) the bet and instead "fold", the hand ends immediately, the bettor is awarded the pot, no cards are required to be shown, and the next hand begins. This is what makes bluffing possible. Bluffing is a primary feature of poker, one that distinguishes it from other vying games and from other games that make use of poker hand rankings.
At the end of the last betting round, if more than one player remains, there is a showdown, in which the players reveal their previously hidden cards and evaluate their hands. The player with the best hand according to the poker variant being played wins the pot. A poker hand consists of five cards, but in some variants a player has more than five to choose from.
In Hearts,
check out
There are loads of ways u can play the game.
In Old Maid,
The dealer deals all of the cards to the players. Some players may have more cards than others, this is acceptable. Players look at their cards and discard any pairs they have (i.e., 2 Kings, 2 Sevens, etc) face up. Players do not discard three of a kind. In some variants, the colors in a discarded pair must match: ♠with ♣ and ♦ with ♥.
Beginning with the dealer, each player takes turns offering his hand facedown to the person on his left. That person selects a card and adds it to his or her hand. This player then sees if the selected card makes a pair with their original cards. If so, the pair is discarded face up as well. The player who just took a card then offers his or her hand to the person to their left and so on. A player is allowed to shuffle his hand before offering it to the player on his left. In some variants, all players discard after the dealer has drawn.
The object of the game is to continue to take cards, discarding pairs, until one is left with no cards. The player left with the odd queen (that has no matching queen) is stuck with the "Old Maid" and loses.
Hope It Works Out! =)"
What does a Poker Dealer do during a game of poker? Listen me and my friends are playing poker the weekend but they chose me to be the dealer of the poker game but i don't know what the dealer does during the game besides pass out cards. I want to know what the dealer needs to know to be a poker dealer so please help me. Also if possible can you you tell me the offical rules of poker,
kutekymmee replied: "its also the dealers job to keep track of bets, how much is bet, who is up, how much is in the pot, how much the antes are, splitting pots, chip races, etc."
Sean T replied: "If it's a friendly home game, encourage a poker game type known as "Dealer's Choice". You'll need a dealer button or marker, and the dealer button gets passed around the table to the left, and each person who deals picks the style of poker game you will be playing. One person may pick Texas Hold 'Em, the next may pick Tahoe, 7 Card, etc. It's fun and mixes up play to make the home game more interesting (and also not to let one person dominate the whole night and make it depressing to others!).
If it's serious poker you're dealing with, then your responsibilities are:
1. Proper shuffling of the cards.
2. A proper deal, in the proper order, giving each person the proper number of cards.
3. Keep the bottom card of the deck hidden by using a cut card. The dealer should not expose any cards that are in the deck that shouldn't be shown during game play. A misdeal ticks off everyone at the table, so the dealer shouldn't mess this up. Don't give anyone any additional information that they shouldn't know.
4. Dealer should keep track of the buttons, depending on the game. If using a dealer button, small blind button, and big blind button, the buttons need to be properly rotated (again, to the left of the last dealer). This ensures that no one misses a blind and doesn't pay their due. If you're not using buttons but are using antes, be sure that everyone places their ante before the cards are dealt and be sure it's the right amount.
5. The dealer should re-announce the player's actions. If a player raises, the player usually will say "call" or "Raise", but in some casinos, people can just place twice the bet and it implies a raise. Because of this, the dealer has to pay attention to the action and the amount raised. If the player raises $4, the dealer should say "Raising 4 dollars", then the dealer moves his attention to the next player to the left of the raiser. Some dealers will actually point towards the next player (with your index finger extended and you hand on the table, don't point in the air across the table) or some may tap the felt in front of the player. When this is done, the dealer can tell the player how much it is to call. For example, if the four dollar raise makes it $8 to call the player, the dealer would point to the next player and say "$8 to call".
6. Once the bet or raise has been made, it is the dealer's responsibility that anyone who is not in the hand folds their cards to the dealer. Also, make sure that no one at the table has been skipped during the course of play.
7. Dealers should collect all folded cards, then pull the pot money towards the center of the table so that any future bets do not get lost in the main pot.
8. Dealers should keep track of all action and keep it moving. If working for a casino, the casino takes a "rake" from each pot to keep for the house's benefit. If the rake is 10% and the pot is $100, the dealer is responsible for taking $10 out of the pot and placing it in a rake box so that it cannot be taken back out again.
9. Dealers are sometimes responsible for announcing the winner of the hand, though some houses allow the cards to do the talking.
Additionally, dealers have to:
1. Assist players who aren't sure of the winner, and be able to explain why the hand was one. In Texas Hold 'Em, for example, on the top 5 cards win, not the top 6. People often get in arguments when two players both have made a straight, but think their sixth card should determine the winner. This is not the case. A good dealer should be ready to read the rules according to Hoyle to these people and let them know why the pot was split or why one or the other lost.
2. Split pots - be able to add, stack chips, split the pot equally.
3. Side pots - when one player has fewer chips than others, that player may be able to only take a smaller pot. This would cause a side pot to be in play, which is often the responsibility of the dealer to set that pot to the side and remind the short player to not turn over his cards until the others have concluded play.
4. Cashing chips - taking the money from a player and exchanging a proper amount of chips to the player.
5. Allowing the "eye in the sky" to view money coming from the box to the player. You just can't take a players money in a casino. The money has to be laid on the table so the cameras can see it, or the poker room boss can see it. When the money is passed to the player, the dealer usually has to present the chips in such a way so that superiors can see the proper amount was exchanged.
6. Keep track of having an adequate amount of chips in the dealer's chips box.
Official rules of poker...depends on the game. Check some websites for the official rules.
If you're interested in dealing in Vegas, just apply for a job. Just know that you're not likely to be dealing at the Bellagio for your first job...it takes time, unless you know someone who can streamline you in. I've seen plenty of dealers in Vegas who don't know how to properly run a poker table, and it seems they get new dealers every month, so I am assuming it's not as hard as it once was.
Have fun...hope this helps!!!"
icehoundxx replied: "Dealers pass out the cards to the players as well as community cards (if necessary depending on the game) ... Dealers also monitor bets made by the players in the game.
Dealers also handle changing and cashing out of player's money before and after they play.
For the rules, get Hoyle's Handbook on Card Games ... also, if you are dealing, you will not be playing."
Does anyone know how to play the Jack Daniels poker game? we have been given a jack daniels branded poker game - it has cards and dice with stuff written on them. Does any one have a clue how to play this game as there is no rules with them. We know how to play poker but are not sure about this dice set. Any help greatly appreciated.
pete uk replied: "well there seems to be so many of these. i googled it and you will have to choose which one."
Does this rule apply to the game of poker? Basically me and my friends were playing some poker. One of my friends had a straight and didn't realize, and i had won the hand do to his mistake. I had taken the chips i earned, and the cards were put back into the deck. He soon realized he had a straight. My other friend said he had won the hand and deserved the chips. I stated that when playing poker the general rule is to recognize your hand. If you don't, you don't get the chips unless you recognize what you have when its time to show the cards. Is this a rule of poker? Or did he earn the chips?
JDjoduJD replied: "at the end where the player shows the card, you basically declare what you have. he didn't declare it. u win. that's the rule. buy a poker book that explains it if you want.
in a friendly game, we all usually let it go, cuz it happens, and give them the chips. we NEVER let it go if he can't prove it. that's just bullshit. never will anyone let him get the chips. slap him in the face for me"
Dash replied: "if you want a tutorial for your friend on how to recognise poker hands then try here.

Vegas Matt replied: "Once all the cards hit the muck (in other words, once you've put them back into the pile to start shuffling for the next hand) the cards are dead and the hand is over. You cannot go back and try to reconstruct the hand. Since he did not object before the chips were pushed to you and the cards were put into the muck, it's too late. You win the hand."
G Y replied: "When the final bet is made it is said that you 'call'- meaning it's time to show your hand. If you see the other player has the winning hand, you can just throw yours in. If you don't 'call' and there is only one player left, that player wins and doesn't have to even show his cards. So bottom line - you can't win retroactively because you say you had a better hand. That's a learning lesson for your friend. Mistakes are made every hand. Either by the betting method or other strategy. Watch poker on TV and you'll see what I mean."
pdq replied: "Really it's up to you and your friends to decide ahead of time whether or not you use the rule that casinos use. It's called "Cards Speak".
If you turn your hand up so that everyone can see it, then the Cards Speak whatever the best hand is. In other words, it's possible to have a pair of Aces and SAY that your hand is a pair of Aces, but when you turn your cards face up, someone else can see that you also have a straight. If you decide ahead of time that "cards speak", the person will always get credit for the straight - even if they didn't see it.
With that being said - Once the hand is over and done, and the pot has been given, and the cards collected; technically there's no recourse for someone that thought the hands were misread. He should be out of luck.
HOWEVER...you said you and your FRIENDS were playing. If they are really your friends, you might want to act more like a friend than a poker player. If you were positive that, yes - he had the straight, then you probably should let him have the pot.
Long story short: Rules in casinos say "cards speak". Decide ahead of time if you and your friends will follow that rule, or if you have to "declare" your hand. (Almost nobody plays where you have to declare to win. It brings up lots of problems. What happens when someone declares a pair of Aces, but then changes their mind when they see the straight? It's not worth the arguments it'll bring.) Also mention next time before you start that once the hand is over, it's OVER. No 'take backs' or 're-dos'."
Hairy Hillbilly replied: "Youse right, He's wrong It's called Hoyle and it's the rule of poker. He'd got shot and throwed out the little round window on the side of a river boat in 1800's for tryin to cheat"
f100_supersabre replied: "In MOST "professional" games, the cards declare themselves, even if the player "miscalls" his hand.
It depends on the "house" rules.
HOWEVER, IF the error is NOT spotted, and the cards are then put back into the deck, the hand is over and can NOT be corrected."
Vittorio the Froidian replied: "he mucked them and since the chips were raked in and the cards were int he deck there is no way to prove it,
so in the end he mucked once there in the muck you cant unmuck unless your in a game with a host who makes up his own rules lol
you won the pot so give your friends a quarter each so they can call someoen who gives a crap"
Puzzled? replied: "When the hand is over and the cards are turned up, the cards speak for themselves.
If he miss calls his hand but someone else at the table sees it, your suppose to speak up. When the cards are tabled is the time to choose who won the hand, even if it's not recognized by the player playing the hand. It's the job of everybody at the table to make sure the right person gets the pot.
After the cards are put back into the deck and re shuffled and the pot is scooped it's too late.
Also if a player thinks he's beat and doesn't table his hand but throws his cards in the muck it's a dead hand and he can't win the pot. Even if he realizes he had the straight, you can't retrieve your cards from the muck."
Does anyone know what the name of this card game is? It's kind of like poker...but not exactly similar. The objective is to be the first to get rid of your cards. People get any number of cards, based on how many are playing. If there are 3 players, each get 18 cards.
Basic rules:
the order from smallest in value to highest in value is: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A,2, black joker, red joker.
The player with the three of clubs starts off, and people follow in his/her steps. The player who goes after must put out a combination of cards greater in value than the player before.
Combinations:
Single card-- a single card is put out, and people follow. If a three is put out, then the next player needs a four or higher, etc. This continues until no one has anything higher or does not want to put out something higher.
You can also have pairs of cards--like two jacks, two kings, etc. If this is put out, then the other players must have a higher pair in order to make a move. You can also have pairs that connect. You can have a pair of 3's connected with a pair of 4's. Or, you can have 3's, 4's, 5's, and 6's.

Thanks in advance,
gblax123
cheeser1 replied: "Throughout this, I'm going to assume when you say things like "three of a kind" or "four of a one suit" that you mean EXACTLY three of a kind (and not four).
1. Contain 4 spades and one heart?
Choose 4 spades and one heart:
(13C4)(13C1) = 715 Г— 13 = 9295
2. Contain 4 of one suit?
Choose a suit, then choose 4 of them, then one of the rest.
(4C1)(13C4)(39C1) = 4 Г— 715 Г— 39 = 111540
3. Are a full house containing Aces and Kings
Here you can only choose which suits, and which has two (or three). So choose one of the types to be the three-of-a-kind (the other will have two). Then choose three suits for one, two suits for the other:
(2C1)(4C3)(4C2) = 2 Г— 4 Г— 6 = 48
4. Are "three of a kind" and contain the king of hearts?
Pick two suits for the other kings, and then two other cards:
(3C2)(48C2) = 3 Г— 1128 = 3384
5. Are a straight flush and contain a red 7?
Choose either hearts or spades, and then choose where in the straight the seven is (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th).
(2C1)(5C1) = 2 Г— 5 = 10
6. Contain no kings?
Just pick from the deck minus the kings:
48C5 = 1712304
7. Contain 2 8's?
Choose suits for the two eights, and then three cards from the rest:
(4C2)(48C3) = 6 Г— 17296 = 103776
8. Contain 3 hearts?
Pick three hearts, then two of the non-hearts:
(13C3)(39C2) = 286 Г— 741 = 211926"
how do you play 5 card draw? I am trying to learn how to play poker so if anyone can tell me a good site that can teach me or give me the rules yourself that would be great.
burnvictim42 replied: "here you go, the information on how to play is all in this link."
rotodogman replied: "5 card draw is a pretty standard poker game - each player is dealt 5 cards face down - betting takes place - some rules state you must have a pair of Jacks or better to open the betting - other rules will allow you to open on anything - then every one who did not fold is allowed to draw up to 3 cards - another round of bettting - then those that are left reveal their hands and the winner is the player with the best hand"
How many types of Poker are there? I like to play Poker with a few of my mates every now and then. Sometimes they will bring some extra people with them which is great! The trouble is some of them play a different way to us, or don't understand the rules to whh we play. Is there a universal poker game or set of rules? I.e instead of 2 card draw and 5 card hold-em?
Giedrius M replied: "Poker is not so old game, and there are quite many variations of it. Even holdem has more than one version - limit, no limit , pot limit... However, holdem is easiest to learn
usually, so at the moment it is most popular (except strip one, but who cares who wins on it ? :))) )
Another popular versions are 7 card stud (more popular in usa) and Omaha (more european), which have subversions on their own. This still leaves a lot of less popular poker versions out, including chinese, Razz, etc. There is even a version when you switch games played each couple of hands (H.O.R.S.E)
I suggest agreeing beforehand what game you would play.
And a more important thing is to simply have fun playing"
Mr. Luva Luva replied: "Too many to name. I have a book at home that lists 1001 poker games!
The most popular right now is Texas Hold 'Em.
Other played in casinos are Stud, Omaha, Omaha 8 or Better, Razz, and H.O.R.S.E. which is a combination of all that I mentioned (the game changes every half-hour or every deal around depending on where you play).
So many poker games, so little time...LOL Good luck!"
redneck_billcollector replied: "There are tons of variations of poker, growing up playing home games you learn there are so many variations that were someone to try to list them here Yahoo would almost shut down due to data overload.
If you want to limit yourself to games that are spread in card rooms that is a managable answer. Obviously There are the three variations of texas holdem which are limit, pot limit and no limit. A game popular in the Florida card rooms is pineapple and it's crazy sibling, crazy pineapple. Then there is omaha and it's many variations, pot limit omaha, limit omaha and in some places no-limit omaha. There are the split pot versions of omaha known as omaha 8 or better (or hi/lo) played mostly as a limit game, sometimes with a half kill (a liquid variation on the betting levels), every now and then omaha 8 or better is played for pot limit and rarely played as no-limit. So far all the card games named are what as know as "flop games" that name being self explainatory.
The next group of games are stud variants. There is 5 card stud which is pretty much a dinosaur and is getting harder to find except in some western card rooms. The next is 7 card stud which used to be the primary game played in card rooms until the explosion of texas holdem. My personal favorite card game is a split pot version of 7 card stud known as 7 card stud 8 or better, not to be confussed with 7 card stud hi/lo which doesn't have a qualifier for the low pot. Then there is razz, which is basically low ball 7 card stud. And once upon a time you could find Chicago hi or Chicago low which is a split pot version of 7 card stud where the high spade or the low spade (depending on the game) in the hole took half the pot.
When you didn't think it could get any more confussing along come the draw games (though seldom spread anymore). You know about 5 card draw ( I prefer jacks or better version) and then you have a really fun and interesting game, 2-7 triple draw which, once you learn it, is a hoot to play.
I have now listed all the games I have ever seen spread in card rooms, but alas, there are the mixed games with the best known being H.O.R.S.E., a limit game made up of rotations of holdem, omaha 8ob, razz, stud (7 card and hi) and stud (7 card) 8ob. Probably the next most popular mixed game is H.A. which is pot limit holdem and plo (pot limit omaha hi). There are a few mixed games played as tournaments (the two above being the most common), and any number of the games in this answer mixed up played as what are known as mixed cash games, which , by the way, are typically cash games too rich for me.
I would recommend reading Doyle Brunson's super systems I and II which explains almost all of the above mentioned games to some extent (pineapple and crazy pineapple are not even mentioned in the books)."
candy replied: "too many to count"
ZCT replied: "The most popular of all the major poker games these days is Texas Hold'em. That's the one you see on TV 99% of the time.
The most universally accepted rules for the game is Robert's Rules."
rules for poker home games? I am familar with Texas Hold'em tournaments and not so much of general home games of poker. For example, I just played at a home game of dealer's choice poker where we played games such as 7 stud, and 5 card draw; things were different when it came to rotation of who goes first. In Hold'em, the betting rounds after the flop the person to the left of the dealer goes first and it continues around back to the dealer. How does the betting rotation work of who makes the first bet for each round in a home game of poker?

The only exception I can think of off-hand is any stud-type game where each player has their own Up cards.
The usual way to start the betting in stud is that the lowest up-card has to start the betting on first street, and this is a mandatory bet. On later streets, the player with the best cards showing has the option to open or check."

Rules: 5 Card draw with no other people playing and its just a straight-up deal. No wilds!
How Many Poker Hands:
1. Contain 4 spades and one heart?
2. Contain 4 of one suit?
3. Are a full house containing Aces and Kings

5. Are a straight flush and contain a red 7?
6. Contain no kings?
7. Contain 2 8's?

Your help is much appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance,
gblax123
cheeser1 replied: "Throughout this, I'm going to assume when you say things like "three of a kind" or "four of a one suit" that you mean EXACTLY three of a kind (and not four).
1. Contain 4 spades and one heart?
Choose 4 spades and one heart:
(13C4)(13C1) = 715 Г— 13 = 9295
2. Contain 4 of one suit?
Choose a suit, then choose 4 of them, then one of the rest.
(4C1)(13C4)(39C1) = 4 Г— 715 Г— 39 = 111540
3. Are a full house containing Aces and Kings
Here you can only choose which suits, and which has two (or three). So choose one of the types to be the three-of-a-kind (the other will have two). Then choose three suits for one, two suits for the other:
(2C1)(4C3)(4C2) = 2 Г— 4 Г— 6 = 48
4. Are "three of a kind" and contain the king of hearts?
Pick two suits for the other kings, and then two other cards:
(3C2)(48C2) = 3 Г— 1128 = 3384
5. Are a straight flush and contain a red 7?
Choose either hearts or spades, and then choose where in the straight the seven is (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th).
(2C1)(5C1) = 2 Г— 5 = 10
6. Contain no kings?
Just pick from the deck minus the kings:
48C5 = 1712304
7. Contain 2 8's?
Choose suits for the two eights, and then three cards from the rest:
(4C2)(48C3) = 6 Г— 17296 = 103776
8. Contain 3 hearts?
Pick three hearts, then two of the non-hearts:
(13C3)(39C2) = 286 Г— 741 = 211926"
how do you play 5 card draw? I am trying to learn how to play poker so if anyone can tell me a good site that can teach me or give me the rules yourself that would be great.
burnvictim42 replied: "here you go, the information on how to play is all in this link."
rotodogman replied: "5 card draw is a pretty standard poker game - each player is dealt 5 cards face down - betting takes place - some rules state you must have a pair of Jacks or better to open the betting - other rules will allow you to open on anything - then every one who did not fold is allowed to draw up to 3 cards - another round of bettting - then those that are left reveal their hands and the winner is the player with the best hand"
How many types of Poker are there? I like to play Poker with a few of my mates every now and then. Sometimes they will bring some extra people with them which is great! The trouble is some of them play a different way to us, or don't understand the rules to whh we play. Is there a universal poker game or set of rules? I.e instead of 2 card draw and 5 card hold-em?
Giedrius M replied: "Poker is not so old game, and there are quite many variations of it. Even holdem has more than one version - limit, no limit , pot limit... However, holdem is easiest to learn
usually, so at the moment it is most popular (except strip one, but who cares who wins on it ? :))) )
Another popular versions are 7 card stud (more popular in usa) and Omaha (more european), which have subversions on their own. This still leaves a lot of less popular poker versions out, including chinese, Razz, etc. There is even a version when you switch games played each couple of hands (H.O.R.S.E)
I suggest agreeing beforehand what game you would play.
And a more important thing is to simply have fun playing"
Mr. Luva Luva replied: "Too many to name. I have a book at home that lists 1001 poker games!
The most popular right now is Texas Hold 'Em.
Other played in casinos are Stud, Omaha, Omaha 8 or Better, Razz, and H.O.R.S.E. which is a combination of all that I mentioned (the game changes every half-hour or every deal around depending on where you play).
So many poker games, so little time...LOL Good luck!"
redneck_billcollector replied: "There are tons of variations of poker, growing up playing home games you learn there are so many variations that were someone to try to list them here Yahoo would almost shut down due to data overload.
If you want to limit yourself to games that are spread in card rooms that is a managable answer. Obviously There are the three variations of texas holdem which are limit, pot limit and no limit. A game popular in the Florida card rooms is pineapple and it's crazy sibling, crazy pineapple. Then there is omaha and it's many variations, pot limit omaha, limit omaha and in some places no-limit omaha. There are the split pot versions of omaha known as omaha 8 or better (or hi/lo) played mostly as a limit game, sometimes with a half kill (a liquid variation on the betting levels), every now and then omaha 8 or better is played for pot limit and rarely played as no-limit. So far all the card games named are what as know as "flop games" that name being self explainatory.
The next group of games are stud variants. There is 5 card stud which is pretty much a dinosaur and is getting harder to find except in some western card rooms. The next is 7 card stud which used to be the primary game played in card rooms until the explosion of texas holdem. My personal favorite card game is a split pot version of 7 card stud known as 7 card stud 8 or better, not to be confussed with 7 card stud hi/lo which doesn't have a qualifier for the low pot. Then there is razz, which is basically low ball 7 card stud. And once upon a time you could find Chicago hi or Chicago low which is a split pot version of 7 card stud where the high spade or the low spade (depending on the game) in the hole took half the pot.
When you didn't think it could get any more confussing along come the draw games (though seldom spread anymore). You know about 5 card draw ( I prefer jacks or better version) and then you have a really fun and interesting game, 2-7 triple draw which, once you learn it, is a hoot to play.
I have now listed all the games I have ever seen spread in card rooms, but alas, there are the mixed games with the best known being H.O.R.S.E., a limit game made up of rotations of holdem, omaha 8ob, razz, stud (7 card and hi) and stud (7 card) 8ob. Probably the next most popular mixed game is H.A. which is pot limit holdem and plo (pot limit omaha hi). There are a few mixed games played as tournaments (the two above being the most common), and any number of the games in this answer mixed up played as what are known as mixed cash games, which , by the way, are typically cash games too rich for me.
I would recommend reading Doyle Brunson's super systems I and II which explains almost all of the above mentioned games to some extent (pineapple and crazy pineapple are not even mentioned in the books)."

rules for poker home games? I am familar with Texas Hold'em tournaments and not so much of general home games of poker. For example, I just played at a home game of dealer's choice poker where we played games such as 7 stud, and 5 card draw; things were different when it came to rotation of who goes first. In Hold'em, the betting rounds after the flop the person to the left of the dealer goes first and it continues around back to the dealer. How does the betting rotation work of who makes the first bet for each round in a home game of poker?

In Texas Hold'em and Omaha, the forced wagers are a small blind and a big blind. In any basic poker game, players strategically wager using a number of actions available to them. When the last bet or raise on the final betting round is called, the "showdown" occurs. This is when it is determined who wins the pot, as players show their hands one-by-one. It may be the case that there is no showdown."
What are the rules to each game in a Horse Poker Tournament? Does anyone know the rules to each of the 5 Horse Poker variencts (e.g. Holdem / Omaha / Stud / etc) and do you have any tips on how to adapt to each game if you are already competent at Holdem
andujar1984 replied: "In Horse tournaments, the game changes along with the blind levels. You start with Limit Holdem, Then Omaha 8 or better, then Razz, then Seven card stud high, then seven card stud eight or better.
Limit Holdem (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/holdem.php )
This is Texas holdem where the bet is fixed. For example, if the blinds are $5/$10, you can bet and raise in increments of $5 until fourth street or the turn card, where you can then bet in increments of $10.
Omaha 8/better (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/omaha8.php )
This an Omaha Hi-Lo game. The low hand will be any 5 distinct cards (no pairs) with no card greater than an 8. If someone has a hand that qualifies for the low hand, then the pot would be split with the winner of the High hand. If there is no qualifying low hand, then the winner of the high hand would scoop the entire pot. Omaha is dealt like holdem, except each person is dealt 4 cards instead of 2. In Omaha you must use 2 of your hole cards and 3 of the community cards to make your best hand, you cannot use all 4 of your hole cards.
Razz (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/razz.php )
This is a seven card stud game. In Razz there is no high hand, the object of Razz is to have the worst possible hand. The best possible hand in Razz is A-2-3-4-5 for a 5 high. Generally I only play if the first 3 cards dealt to me are 8 or lower and not paired.
Seven Card Stud HIGH (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/stud.php )
This is a seven card stud game where the high hand wins the pot. There is no split pot, you get dealt 2 down cards, then 4 up, then 1 down at the end.
Seven Card Stud 8/better (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/stud8.php
This is a Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo game where the low must qualify with an 8 or better low hand, just like the Omaha HI-Lo game.
In H.O.R.S.E tournaments, I have three games that I really like and two that I don't. So my goal is to accumulate as much chips as possible during the Holdem, omaha and razz games, so that I can allow myself to sit idle during the Stud HI-LO games which I am not very good at yet. The stud games can be a lot easier to bluff however, because opponents can see 4 of your 7 cards. If you have an A-K-Q showing on your board, you can bet and induce folds even if your hole cards havent paired any of those up cards."
Sally S replied:
What are the rules for a non poker card game called Pass the Trash which a large group can play? We played this game in St. Louis one time with a large group of people and you passed one card around the table. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
cherryred64gto replied: "I consulted my BIG BOOK (The New Complete Hoyle Revised) and I am sorry to inform you the game does not exist. If it existed, it would be listed. Hoyle is the ultimate authority, take it from me, the Queen of Games, thusly dubbed due to my massive game collection and love of all things game, anyhow, it is not even a variant of a game, I looked. It must've been a local game invented by the people you were playing it with or someone they knew. Why not contact them?"
childhoodtrauma replied: "depends on variatiions. my variation is:
set out three stacks of money (3 one dollar bills, three quarters, three poker chips. three whatevers)
everyone gets one card per deal(deal is passed,or at least the person with first choice is passed each deal)
a king is flipped up immediately and is a blocker. no one can trade cards with a king.
after that the first person is asked if he wants to keep his card or trade with player number two (assuming #2 has no king). #2 then is asked to change with number three, etc the last person can trade with the top of the deck.
if any of the players has the king (like player #3) player #2 can not pass and is stuck with the card he ends up with
once everyone passes or stays, flip over the cards. the player with the lowest card (or players if there is a tie, and aces are low) puts one stack in the pot.
when a player has nothing left to put in the pot they are out of the game.
the last player with a pile left wins"
Texas Hold'em poker rules!!? What is the blind and what does it do in the game? Okay so....
At the start the dealer chip is given to a player.
The two players to the left of the dealer, have to pay up.
I know that this is the limit of betting, so there is a small blind and a big blind!
But how does thew blind work?
Walter S replied: "It goes around the table and goes up usually after a certian amount of time, to keep the game going otherwise you could site there and wait for a hand forever.the big blind is twice the the small blind. and the small blind has the option."
What does a Poker Dealer do during a game of poker? Listen me and my friends are playing poker the weekend but they chose me to be the dealer of the poker game but i don't know what the dealer does during the game besides pass out cards. I want to know what the dealer needs to know to be a poker dealer so please help me. Also if possible can you you tell me the offical rules of poker,
kutekymmee replied: "its also the dealers job to keep track of bets, how much is bet, who is up, how much is in the pot, how much the antes are, splitting pots, chip races, etc."
Sean T replied: "If it's a friendly home game, encourage a poker game type known as "Dealer's Choice". You'll need a dealer button or marker, and the dealer button gets passed around the table to the left, and each person who deals picks the style of poker game you will be playing. One person may pick Texas Hold 'Em, the next may pick Tahoe, 7 Card, etc. It's fun and mixes up play to make the home game more interesting (and also not to let one person dominate the whole night and make it depressing to others!).
If it's serious poker you're dealing with, then your responsibilities are:
1. Proper shuffling of the cards.
2. A proper deal, in the proper order, giving each person the proper number of cards.
3. Keep the bottom card of the deck hidden by using a cut card. The dealer should not expose any cards that are in the deck that shouldn't be shown during game play. A misdeal ticks off everyone at the table, so the dealer shouldn't mess this up. Don't give anyone any additional information that they shouldn't know.
4. Dealer should keep track of the buttons, depending on the game. If using a dealer button, small blind button, and big blind button, the buttons need to be properly rotated (again, to the left of the last dealer). This ensures that no one misses a blind and doesn't pay their due. If you're not using buttons but are using antes, be sure that everyone places their ante before the cards are dealt and be sure it's the right amount.
5. The dealer should re-announce the player's actions. If a player raises, the player usually will say "call" or "Raise", but in some casinos, people can just place twice the bet and it implies a raise. Because of this, the dealer has to pay attention to the action and the amount raised. If the player raises $4, the dealer should say "Raising 4 dollars", then the dealer moves his attention to the next player to the left of the raiser. Some dealers will actually point towards the next player (with your index finger extended and you hand on the table, don't point in the air across the table) or some may tap the felt in front of the player. When this is done, the dealer can tell the player how much it is to call. For example, if the four dollar raise makes it $8 to call the player, the dealer would point to the next player and say "$8 to call".
6. Once the bet or raise has been made, it is the dealer's responsibility that anyone who is not in the hand folds their cards to the dealer. Also, make sure that no one at the table has been skipped during the course of play.
7. Dealers should collect all folded cards, then pull the pot money towards the center of the table so that any future bets do not get lost in the main pot.
8. Dealers should keep track of all action and keep it moving. If working for a casino, the casino takes a "rake" from each pot to keep for the house's benefit. If the rake is 10% and the pot is $100, the dealer is responsible for taking $10 out of the pot and placing it in a rake box so that it cannot be taken back out again.
9. Dealers are sometimes responsible for announcing the winner of the hand, though some houses allow the cards to do the talking.
Additionally, dealers have to:
1. Assist players who aren't sure of the winner, and be able to explain why the hand was one. In Texas Hold 'Em, for example, on the top 5 cards win, not the top 6. People often get in arguments when two players both have made a straight, but think their sixth card should determine the winner. This is not the case. A good dealer should be ready to read the rules according to Hoyle to these people and let them know why the pot was split or why one or the other lost.
2. Split pots - be able to add, stack chips, split the pot equally.
3. Side pots - when one player has fewer chips than others, that player may be able to only take a smaller pot. This would cause a side pot to be in play, which is often the responsibility of the dealer to set that pot to the side and remind the short player to not turn over his cards until the others have concluded play.
4. Cashing chips - taking the money from a player and exchanging a proper amount of chips to the player.
5. Allowing the "eye in the sky" to view money coming from the box to the player. You just can't take a players money in a casino. The money has to be laid on the table so the cameras can see it, or the poker room boss can see it. When the money is passed to the player, the dealer usually has to present the chips in such a way so that superiors can see the proper amount was exchanged.
6. Keep track of having an adequate amount of chips in the dealer's chips box.
Official rules of poker...depends on the game. Check some websites for the official rules.
If you're interested in dealing in Vegas, just apply for a job. Just know that you're not likely to be dealing at the Bellagio for your first job...it takes time, unless you know someone who can streamline you in. I've seen plenty of dealers in Vegas who don't know how to properly run a poker table, and it seems they get new dealers every month, so I am assuming it's not as hard as it once was.
Have fun...hope this helps!!!"
icehoundxx replied: "Dealers pass out the cards to the players as well as community cards (if necessary depending on the game) ... Dealers also monitor bets made by the players in the game.

can you provide rules of some easy poker games that children can play? hi i'm wondering what poker games that i can play with children. as a immigrant, i need the knowledge of the names and rules of some popular or easy poker games that people usually play in the US. (sometimes it's hard to teach them what i used to play in english)
please provide me some games!~
????? ? replied: "well texas hold-ems is my favorite
other games are black jack,switch,jin rummy"
Does this rule apply to the game of poker? Basically me and my friends were playing some poker. One of my friends had a straight and didn't realize, and i had won the hand do to his mistake. I had taken the chips i earned, and the cards were put back into the deck. He soon realized he had a straight. My other friend said he had won the hand and deserved the chips. I stated that when playing poker the general rule is to recognize your hand. If you don't, you don't get the chips unless you recognize what you have when its time to show the cards. Is this a rule of poker? Or did he earn the chips?
JDjoduJD replied: "at the end where the player shows the card, you basically declare what you have. he didn't declare it. u win. that's the rule. buy a poker book that explains it if you want.
in a friendly game, we all usually let it go, cuz it happens, and give them the chips. we NEVER let it go if he can't prove it. that's just bullshit. never will anyone let him get the chips. slap him in the face for me"

Vegas Matt replied: "Once all the cards hit the muck (in other words, once you've put them back into the pile to start shuffling for the next hand) the cards are dead and the hand is over. You cannot go back and try to reconstruct the hand. Since he did not object before the chips were pushed to you and the cards were put into the muck, it's too late. You win the hand."
G Y replied: "When the final bet is made it is said that you 'call'- meaning it's time to show your hand. If you see the other player has the winning hand, you can just throw yours in. If you don't 'call' and there is only one player left, that player wins and doesn't have to even show his cards. So bottom line - you can't win retroactively because you say you had a better hand. That's a learning lesson for your friend. Mistakes are made every hand. Either by the betting method or other strategy. Watch poker on TV and you'll see what I mean."
pdq replied: "Really it's up to you and your friends to decide ahead of time whether or not you use the rule that casinos use. It's called "Cards Speak".
If you turn your hand up so that everyone can see it, then the Cards Speak whatever the best hand is. In other words, it's possible to have a pair of Aces and SAY that your hand is a pair of Aces, but when you turn your cards face up, someone else can see that you also have a straight. If you decide ahead of time that "cards speak", the person will always get credit for the straight - even if they didn't see it.
With that being said - Once the hand is over and done, and the pot has been given, and the cards collected; technically there's no recourse for someone that thought the hands were misread. He should be out of luck.
HOWEVER...you said you and your FRIENDS were playing. If they are really your friends, you might want to act more like a friend than a poker player. If you were positive that, yes - he had the straight, then you probably should let him have the pot.
Long story short: Rules in casinos say "cards speak". Decide ahead of time if you and your friends will follow that rule, or if you have to "declare" your hand. (Almost nobody plays where you have to declare to win. It brings up lots of problems. What happens when someone declares a pair of Aces, but then changes their mind when they see the straight? It's not worth the arguments it'll bring.) Also mention next time before you start that once the hand is over, it's OVER. No 'take backs' or 're-dos'."

f100_supersabre replied: "In MOST "professional" games, the cards declare themselves, even if the player "miscalls" his hand.
It depends on the "house" rules.
HOWEVER, IF the error is NOT spotted, and the cards are then put back into the deck, the hand is over and can NOT be corrected."
Vittorio the Froidian replied: "he mucked them and since the chips were raked in and the cards were int he deck there is no way to prove it,
so in the end he mucked once there in the muck you cant unmuck unless your in a game with a host who makes up his own rules lol
you won the pot so give your friends a quarter each so they can call someoen who gives a crap"
Puzzled? replied: "When the hand is over and the cards are turned up, the cards speak for themselves.
If he miss calls his hand but someone else at the table sees it, your suppose to speak up. When the cards are tabled is the time to choose who won the hand, even if it's not recognized by the player playing the hand. It's the job of everybody at the table to make sure the right person gets the pot.
After the cards are put back into the deck and re shuffled and the pot is scooped it's too late.
Also if a player thinks he's beat and doesn't table his hand but throws his cards in the muck it's a dead hand and he can't win the pot. Even if he realizes he had the straight, you can't retrieve your cards from the muck."

otkpoker replied: "There are several poker variations, here are 2 of the most popular -
Five Card Draw
Five card draw was the poker players game of choice before Texas Holdem took the poker world by storm. The idea is to make the best five card hand after one draw or substitution of cards that the player wants to discard. To view the rankings of poker hands, visit our hand rankings page.
Being a draw game it is played with blinds, with the player immediately to the left of the dealer posting the small blind, and the player next left posting the big blind. Each hand starts with players being dealt five hole cards. The first player to act, sitting on the left of the big blind, has the option of folding, calling or raising. This applies to each player in turn in a clockwise direction around the table until all players have acted.
With this first round of betting complete, there then follows a draw. Each player selects from his hand the cards he wishes to discard (if any) by clicking on them. You can change your mind by clicking on the card a second time.
As in the first betting round, this continues in a clockwise direction around the table. When the action reaches you, simply press the button to confirm you wish to discard the cards you have selected.
After all players remaining in the hand have completed their draws there is another round of betting, starting with the first player to the left of the button who has not folded their hand.
After the second betting round has been completed, the winner of the pot is determined in two ways: the player left after everyone else folds; or the player with the best hand. If more than one player has the same valued winning hand the pot is split equally between them with the suit of each hand having no bearing.
Texas Holdem
All poker games begin with some forced wager over which poker players compete. In No Limit Holdem, the forced wagers are a small blind and a big blind. In any basic poker game, players strategically wager using a number of actions available to them. The actions are as follows:
CHECK - If there is no wager on the current betting round, a player may check. The act of checking passes the action to the next poker player immediately clockwise from him or her. A check does not forfeit interest in the pot, only the current right to bet. If all players check during a round of betting, the round is considered complete.
BET - If there is no wager on the current betting round, a player may bet. If a player bets, the poker player immediately clockwise from him or her (and any subsequent poker players) may fold, raise, or call.
FOLD - The act of folding forfeits all interest in the pot. A player who folds is not required or allowed to wager any further money for the current poker game.
CALL - If there has been a wager on the current round of poker play, a player may call. The act of calling requires the player to match the current bet made by his or her opponent(s).
RAISE - If there has been a wager on the current betting round, a player may raise. The act of raising requires the poker player to match the current bet, and make a greater one. All subsequent players are required to call the raise or raise again (re-raise) to maintain interest in the pot.
On each betting round, betting continues until the person immediately counterclockwise the last bettor or raiser acts. When this person acts, the next poker round begins, or the hand is complete.
When the last bet or raise on the final betting round is called, the showdown occurs. This is when it is determined who wins the pot, as players show their hands one-by-one. It may be the case that there is no showdown. This occurs when a player bets or raises, and no active players choose to call the players bet (in other words, all players fold). In this case, the player doing the betting or raising wins the full amount of the pot."
How many different versions of poker are there and what are the rules of the most common poker games? how many different kinds of ways to play poker are there mainly?
Matty P replied: "Dude, there are SOOOO many different versions. 5-card draw or stud, 7 card stud, 7stud hi/lo, texas hold 'em, omaha, omaha hi/lo, razz (stud lo), chinese poker, lowball... there's soooo many versions of the game and some can get real complicated.
MOST poker games are where no matter how many cards you are given, you are only going to play 5 of the cards to make your best 5 card hand. For example with texas hold 'em and 7 stud, you are given 7 cards total, but you are using any 5 of them to play your best 5 card hand. If you go on to any online poker site, you can play a whole bunch of the games for free. Pokerstars.com is the one I play on and in my opinion the best one out there because there are so many games going."

What are the rules to each game in a Horse Poker Tournament? Does anyone know the rules to each of the 5 Horse Poker variencts (e.g. Holdem / Omaha / Stud / etc) and do you have any tips on how to adapt to each game if you are already competent at Holdem
andujar1984 replied: "In Horse tournaments, the game changes along with the blind levels. You start with Limit Holdem, Then Omaha 8 or better, then Razz, then Seven card stud high, then seven card stud eight or better.
Limit Holdem (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/holdem.php )
This is Texas holdem where the bet is fixed. For example, if the blinds are $5/$10, you can bet and raise in increments of $5 until fourth street or the turn card, where you can then bet in increments of $10.
Omaha 8/better (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/omaha8.php )
This an Omaha Hi-Lo game. The low hand will be any 5 distinct cards (no pairs) with no card greater than an 8. If someone has a hand that qualifies for the low hand, then the pot would be split with the winner of the High hand. If there is no qualifying low hand, then the winner of the high hand would scoop the entire pot. Omaha is dealt like holdem, except each person is dealt 4 cards instead of 2. In Omaha you must use 2 of your hole cards and 3 of the community cards to make your best hand, you cannot use all 4 of your hole cards.
Razz (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/razz.php )
This is a seven card stud game. In Razz there is no high hand, the object of Razz is to have the worst possible hand. The best possible hand in Razz is A-2-3-4-5 for a 5 high. Generally I only play if the first 3 cards dealt to me are 8 or lower and not paired.
Seven Card Stud HIGH (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/stud.php )
This is a seven card stud game where the high hand wins the pot. There is no split pot, you get dealt 2 down cards, then 4 up, then 1 down at the end.
Seven Card Stud 8/better (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/stud8.php
This is a Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo game where the low must qualify with an 8 or better low hand, just like the Omaha HI-Lo game.
In H.O.R.S.E tournaments, I have three games that I really like and two that I don't. So my goal is to accumulate as much chips as possible during the Holdem, omaha and razz games, so that I can allow myself to sit idle during the Stud HI-LO games which I am not very good at yet. The stud games can be a lot easier to bluff however, because opponents can see 4 of your 7 cards. If you have an A-K-Q showing on your board, you can bet and induce folds even if your hole cards havent paired any of those up cards."

What are the rules for a non poker card game called Pass the Trash which a large group can play? We played this game in St. Louis one time with a large group of people and you passed one card around the table. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
cherryred64gto replied: "I consulted my BIG BOOK (The New Complete Hoyle Revised) and I am sorry to inform you the game does not exist. If it existed, it would be listed. Hoyle is the ultimate authority, take it from me, the Queen of Games, thusly dubbed due to my massive game collection and love of all things game, anyhow, it is not even a variant of a game, I looked. It must've been a local game invented by the people you were playing it with or someone they knew. Why not contact them?"
childhoodtrauma replied: "depends on variatiions. my variation is:
set out three stacks of money (3 one dollar bills, three quarters, three poker chips. three whatevers)
everyone gets one card per deal(deal is passed,or at least the person with first choice is passed each deal)
a king is flipped up immediately and is a blocker. no one can trade cards with a king.
after that the first person is asked if he wants to keep his card or trade with player number two (assuming #2 has no king). #2 then is asked to change with number three, etc the last person can trade with the top of the deck.
if any of the players has the king (like player #3) player #2 can not pass and is stuck with the card he ends up with
once everyone passes or stays, flip over the cards. the player with the lowest card (or players if there is a tie, and aces are low) puts one stack in the pot.
when a player has nothing left to put in the pot they are out of the game.
the last player with a pile left wins"
Texas Hold'em poker rules!!? What is the blind and what does it do in the game? Okay so....
At the start the dealer chip is given to a player.
The two players to the left of the dealer, have to pay up.
I know that this is the limit of betting, so there is a small blind and a big blind!
But how does thew blind work?
Walter S replied: "It goes around the table and goes up usually after a certian amount of time, to keep the game going otherwise you could site there and wait for a hand forever.the big blind is twice the the small blind. and the small blind has the option."
What does a Poker Dealer do during a game of poker? Listen me and my friends are playing poker the weekend but they chose me to be the dealer of the poker game but i don't know what the dealer does during the game besides pass out cards. I want to know what the dealer needs to know to be a poker dealer so please help me. Also if possible can you you tell me the offical rules of poker,
kutekymmee replied: "its also the dealers job to keep track of bets, how much is bet, who is up, how much is in the pot, how much the antes are, splitting pots, chip races, etc."
Sean T replied: "If it's a friendly home game, encourage a poker game type known as "Dealer's Choice". You'll need a dealer button or marker, and the dealer button gets passed around the table to the left, and each person who deals picks the style of poker game you will be playing. One person may pick Texas Hold 'Em, the next may pick Tahoe, 7 Card, etc. It's fun and mixes up play to make the home game more interesting (and also not to let one person dominate the whole night and make it depressing to others!).
If it's serious poker you're dealing with, then your responsibilities are:
1. Proper shuffling of the cards.
2. A proper deal, in the proper order, giving each person the proper number of cards.
3. Keep the bottom card of the deck hidden by using a cut card. The dealer should not expose any cards that are in the deck that shouldn't be shown during game play. A misdeal ticks off everyone at the table, so the dealer shouldn't mess this up. Don't give anyone any additional information that they shouldn't know.
4. Dealer should keep track of the buttons, depending on the game. If using a dealer button, small blind button, and big blind button, the buttons need to be properly rotated (again, to the left of the last dealer). This ensures that no one misses a blind and doesn't pay their due. If you're not using buttons but are using antes, be sure that everyone places their ante before the cards are dealt and be sure it's the right amount.
5. The dealer should re-announce the player's actions. If a player raises, the player usually will say "call" or "Raise", but in some casinos, people can just place twice the bet and it implies a raise. Because of this, the dealer has to pay attention to the action and the amount raised. If the player raises $4, the dealer should say "Raising 4 dollars", then the dealer moves his attention to the next player to the left of the raiser. Some dealers will actually point towards the next player (with your index finger extended and you hand on the table, don't point in the air across the table) or some may tap the felt in front of the player. When this is done, the dealer can tell the player how much it is to call. For example, if the four dollar raise makes it $8 to call the player, the dealer would point to the next player and say "$8 to call".
6. Once the bet or raise has been made, it is the dealer's responsibility that anyone who is not in the hand folds their cards to the dealer. Also, make sure that no one at the table has been skipped during the course of play.
7. Dealers should collect all folded cards, then pull the pot money towards the center of the table so that any future bets do not get lost in the main pot.
8. Dealers should keep track of all action and keep it moving. If working for a casino, the casino takes a "rake" from each pot to keep for the house's benefit. If the rake is 10% and the pot is $100, the dealer is responsible for taking $10 out of the pot and placing it in a rake box so that it cannot be taken back out again.
9. Dealers are sometimes responsible for announcing the winner of the hand, though some houses allow the cards to do the talking.
Additionally, dealers have to:
1. Assist players who aren't sure of the winner, and be able to explain why the hand was one. In Texas Hold 'Em, for example, on the top 5 cards win, not the top 6. People often get in arguments when two players both have made a straight, but think their sixth card should determine the winner. This is not the case. A good dealer should be ready to read the rules according to Hoyle to these people and let them know why the pot was split or why one or the other lost.
2. Split pots - be able to add, stack chips, split the pot equally.
3. Side pots - when one player has fewer chips than others, that player may be able to only take a smaller pot. This would cause a side pot to be in play, which is often the responsibility of the dealer to set that pot to the side and remind the short player to not turn over his cards until the others have concluded play.
4. Cashing chips - taking the money from a player and exchanging a proper amount of chips to the player.
5. Allowing the "eye in the sky" to view money coming from the box to the player. You just can't take a players money in a casino. The money has to be laid on the table so the cameras can see it, or the poker room boss can see it. When the money is passed to the player, the dealer usually has to present the chips in such a way so that superiors can see the proper amount was exchanged.
6. Keep track of having an adequate amount of chips in the dealer's chips box.
Official rules of poker...depends on the game. Check some websites for the official rules.
If you're interested in dealing in Vegas, just apply for a job. Just know that you're not likely to be dealing at the Bellagio for your first job...it takes time, unless you know someone who can streamline you in. I've seen plenty of dealers in Vegas who don't know how to properly run a poker table, and it seems they get new dealers every month, so I am assuming it's not as hard as it once was.
Have fun...hope this helps!!!"
icehoundxx replied: "Dealers pass out the cards to the players as well as community cards (if necessary depending on the game) ... Dealers also monitor bets made by the players in the game.
Dealers also handle changing and cashing out of player's money before and after they play.
For the rules, get Hoyle's Handbook on Card Games ... also, if you are dealing, you will not be playing."
can you provide rules of some easy poker games that children can play? hi i'm wondering what poker games that i can play with children. as a immigrant, i need the knowledge of the names and rules of some popular or easy poker games that people usually play in the US. (sometimes it's hard to teach them what i used to play in english)
please provide me some games!~
????? ? replied: "well texas hold-ems is my favorite
other games are black jack,switch,jin rummy"
Does this rule apply to the game of poker? Basically me and my friends were playing some poker. One of my friends had a straight and didn't realize, and i had won the hand do to his mistake. I had taken the chips i earned, and the cards were put back into the deck. He soon realized he had a straight. My other friend said he had won the hand and deserved the chips. I stated that when playing poker the general rule is to recognize your hand. If you don't, you don't get the chips unless you recognize what you have when its time to show the cards. Is this a rule of poker? Or did he earn the chips?
JDjoduJD replied: "at the end where the player shows the card, you basically declare what you have. he didn't declare it. u win. that's the rule. buy a poker book that explains it if you want.
in a friendly game, we all usually let it go, cuz it happens, and give them the chips. we NEVER let it go if he can't prove it. that's just bullshit. never will anyone let him get the chips. slap him in the face for me"
Dash replied: "if you want a tutorial for your friend on how to recognise poker hands then try here.

Vegas Matt replied: "Once all the cards hit the muck (in other words, once you've put them back into the pile to start shuffling for the next hand) the cards are dead and the hand is over. You cannot go back and try to reconstruct the hand. Since he did not object before the chips were pushed to you and the cards were put into the muck, it's too late. You win the hand."
G Y replied: "When the final bet is made it is said that you 'call'- meaning it's time to show your hand. If you see the other player has the winning hand, you can just throw yours in. If you don't 'call' and there is only one player left, that player wins and doesn't have to even show his cards. So bottom line - you can't win retroactively because you say you had a better hand. That's a learning lesson for your friend. Mistakes are made every hand. Either by the betting method or other strategy. Watch poker on TV and you'll see what I mean."
pdq replied: "Really it's up to you and your friends to decide ahead of time whether or not you use the rule that casinos use. It's called "Cards Speak".
If you turn your hand up so that everyone can see it, then the Cards Speak whatever the best hand is. In other words, it's possible to have a pair of Aces and SAY that your hand is a pair of Aces, but when you turn your cards face up, someone else can see that you also have a straight. If you decide ahead of time that "cards speak", the person will always get credit for the straight - even if they didn't see it.
With that being said - Once the hand is over and done, and the pot has been given, and the cards collected; technically there's no recourse for someone that thought the hands were misread. He should be out of luck.
HOWEVER...you said you and your FRIENDS were playing. If they are really your friends, you might want to act more like a friend than a poker player. If you were positive that, yes - he had the straight, then you probably should let him have the pot.
Long story short: Rules in casinos say "cards speak". Decide ahead of time if you and your friends will follow that rule, or if you have to "declare" your hand. (Almost nobody plays where you have to declare to win. It brings up lots of problems. What happens when someone declares a pair of Aces, but then changes their mind when they see the straight? It's not worth the arguments it'll bring.) Also mention next time before you start that once the hand is over, it's OVER. No 'take backs' or 're-dos'."
Hairy Hillbilly replied: "Youse right, He's wrong It's called Hoyle and it's the rule of poker. He'd got shot and throwed out the little round window on the side of a river boat in 1800's for tryin to cheat"
f100_supersabre replied: "In MOST "professional" games, the cards declare themselves, even if the player "miscalls" his hand.
It depends on the "house" rules.
HOWEVER, IF the error is NOT spotted, and the cards are then put back into the deck, the hand is over and can NOT be corrected."
Vittorio the Froidian replied: "he mucked them and since the chips were raked in and the cards were int he deck there is no way to prove it,
so in the end he mucked once there in the muck you cant unmuck unless your in a game with a host who makes up his own rules lol
you won the pot so give your friends a quarter each so they can call someoen who gives a crap"
Puzzled? replied: "When the hand is over and the cards are turned up, the cards speak for themselves.
If he miss calls his hand but someone else at the table sees it, your suppose to speak up. When the cards are tabled is the time to choose who won the hand, even if it's not recognized by the player playing the hand. It's the job of everybody at the table to make sure the right person gets the pot.
After the cards are put back into the deck and re shuffled and the pot is scooped it's too late.
Also if a player thinks he's beat and doesn't table his hand but throws his cards in the muck it's a dead hand and he can't win the pot. Even if he realizes he had the straight, you can't retrieve your cards from the muck."

otkpoker replied: "There are several poker variations, here are 2 of the most popular -
Five Card Draw
Five card draw was the poker players game of choice before Texas Holdem took the poker world by storm. The idea is to make the best five card hand after one draw or substitution of cards that the player wants to discard. To view the rankings of poker hands, visit our hand rankings page.
Being a draw game it is played with blinds, with the player immediately to the left of the dealer posting the small blind, and the player next left posting the big blind. Each hand starts with players being dealt five hole cards. The first player to act, sitting on the left of the big blind, has the option of folding, calling or raising. This applies to each player in turn in a clockwise direction around the table until all players have acted.
With this first round of betting complete, there then follows a draw. Each player selects from his hand the cards he wishes to discard (if any) by clicking on them. You can change your mind by clicking on the card a second time.
As in the first betting round, this continues in a clockwise direction around the table. When the action reaches you, simply press the button to confirm you wish to discard the cards you have selected.
After all players remaining in the hand have completed their draws there is another round of betting, starting with the first player to the left of the button who has not folded their hand.
After the second betting round has been completed, the winner of the pot is determined in two ways: the player left after everyone else folds; or the player with the best hand. If more than one player has the same valued winning hand the pot is split equally between them with the suit of each hand having no bearing.
Texas Holdem
All poker games begin with some forced wager over which poker players compete. In No Limit Holdem, the forced wagers are a small blind and a big blind. In any basic poker game, players strategically wager using a number of actions available to them. The actions are as follows:
CHECK - If there is no wager on the current betting round, a player may check. The act of checking passes the action to the next poker player immediately clockwise from him or her. A check does not forfeit interest in the pot, only the current right to bet. If all players check during a round of betting, the round is considered complete.
BET - If there is no wager on the current betting round, a player may bet. If a player bets, the poker player immediately clockwise from him or her (and any subsequent poker players) may fold, raise, or call.
FOLD - The act of folding forfeits all interest in the pot. A player who folds is not required or allowed to wager any further money for the current poker game.
CALL - If there has been a wager on the current round of poker play, a player may call. The act of calling requires the player to match the current bet made by his or her opponent(s).
RAISE - If there has been a wager on the current betting round, a player may raise. The act of raising requires the poker player to match the current bet, and make a greater one. All subsequent players are required to call the raise or raise again (re-raise) to maintain interest in the pot.
On each betting round, betting continues until the person immediately counterclockwise the last bettor or raiser acts. When this person acts, the next poker round begins, or the hand is complete.
When the last bet or raise on the final betting round is called, the showdown occurs. This is when it is determined who wins the pot, as players show their hands one-by-one. It may be the case that there is no showdown. This occurs when a player bets or raises, and no active players choose to call the players bet (in other words, all players fold). In this case, the player doing the betting or raising wins the full amount of the pot."

Rules Of Poker Texas Holdem
Texas Holdem Poker Rules? I have a question about texas holdem poker, I hope maybe someone can help me with?
If half way through a tournament it is discovered there is missing cards from the deck, what is the official ruling on what course of action to take?
Do you restart the entire game and everyone starts with the original amount of chips? or do you change the deck of cards and carry on?
Please only reply if you know the official ruling on this. Thanks.
Fredster replied: "I would restart the game with the full set of cards. The rules are that you must have 52 cards in a pack for the game. If you carried on it would might have been unfair on some people who could have got certain hands but didn't because of the missing cards."
TheMadProfessor replied: "In any organized tournament (certainly any taking place in a casino), that's next to impossible to happen - at every dealer change, the first thing the dealer does is verify the decks are complete by an in-sequence fan of the cards. Then, after the river of each hand, they usually count the remaining cards to verify there are still 52 in all. I'm not sure what any official ruling on such an occurrence would be, but at a minimum I'd think a dealer or two (and possibly a pit boss) would be out of a job."
Supreme replied: "there is no OFFICIAL ruling because this would not happen at a casino style organized game . NOw at a backdoor game i believe the deck should be switched and everyone keep playing because everyone was playing with the handicap of a missing card so it's still fair but to take someone who is up 10k and say my bad there is a card missing sorry we have to start all over .. that is not fair"
About some rules in Texas Holdem Poker? 1. What happens when a dealer accidentally uncovers a card: for example a dealer accidentally shows a river before all people bet.
You show your cards: the player is folding and he shows the cards to others while throwing them away, when others are still playing
sorry missed "2. " at the beginning of the second sentence :)
MagicianTrent replied: "On number 2, the cards that were thrown away face-up are shown to all players to make sure that no one gets an unfair advantage as a result of being among the few (or only) to see what the cards were.
I'm not sure on Number 1, but my guess would be that the bets for that round are returned, and the pot is split among all players who were in at the start of that round."
how to play Texas HoldEm Poker on facebook? i opened the main page of Texas HoldEm Poker...but i cant find the rules...can someone tell me were i can find the rules for Texas HoldEm Poker on facebook??....thanx
otkpoker replied: "Texas Holdem is the most popular poker game in the casinos and cardrooms of North America and Europe. Each player is dealt two cards (hole cards) which belong only to that player.
Five community cards are dealt face-up on the board. All players may use these cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to make the best 5 card hand possible. To view the rankings of poker hands, visit our hand rankings page at...
In Holdem, a disc also known as the button, serves to indicate which player is the nominal dealer for the current game. Before the game begins, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the small blind, typically half a small bet (for example, $1 in a $2/$4 game). The player immediately clockwise to the small blind posts the big blind, which is always a full smallet (for example, $2 in a $2/$4 game). Now, each player receives his or her two hole cards. Betting action proceeds around the table, starting with the player immediately clockwise to the big blind.
Players may now fold, check, call the big blind, or raise. In Limit games, the raise is limited to one small bet. In Pot Limit the maximum raise is the pot (the amount currently in the pot, plus his call), whereas in No Limit the maximum raise can be any amount of chips.
THE FLOP
Now, the flop is dealt face-up on the board. The flop is the first three community cards available to all active players. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise the button. Again, in Limit games, all bets and raises at this point occur in small bets (increments of $2 in a $2/$4 game).
THE TURN
When betting action is completed for the flop round, the turn is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in a Holdem game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise the button. On this round in Limit games, betting doubles from the small bet to the big bet. In a $2/$4 game, betting on the turn is done in $4 increments.
THE RIVER
When betting action is completed for the turn round, the river is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in a Holdem game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button.
If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last bettor or raiser shows his or her cards. If there was no bet on the final round, the player immediately clockwise the button shows his or her cards first. The player with the best five-card hand wins the pot. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands."

Rules
The descriptions below assume a familiarity with the general game play of poker, and with poker hands. For a general introduction to these topics, see poker, poker hands, poker probability, and poker jargon.
Betting structures
See the article on betting for a detailed explanation of betting in these variations of hold 'em.
A standard hold 'em game showing the position of the blinds relative to the dealer buttonHold 'em is normally played using small and big blind bets – forced bets by two players. Antes (forced contributions by all players) may be used in addition to blinds, particularly in later stages of tournament play. A dealer button is used to represent the player in the dealer position; the dealer button rotates clockwise after each hand, changing the position of the dealer and blinds. The small blind is posted by the player to the left of the dealer and is usually equal to half of the big blind. The big blind, posted by the player to the left of the small blind, is equal to the minimum bet. In tournament poker, the blind/ante structure periodically increases as the tournament progresses. (In some cases, the small blind is some other fraction of a small bet, e.g. $10 is a common small blind when the big blind is $15. The double-blind structure described above is a commonly used and more recent adoption.)
When only two players remain, special 'head-to-head' or 'heads up' rules are enforced and the blinds are posted differently. In this case, the person with the dealer button posts the small blind, while his/her opponent places the big blind. The dealer acts first before the flop. After the flop, the dealer acts last for the remainder of the hand.
The three most common variations of hold 'em are limit hold 'em, no-limit hold 'em and pot-limit hold 'em. Limit hold 'em has historically been the most popular form of hold 'em found in casino live action games in the United States.[2] In limit hold 'em, bets and raises during the first two rounds of betting (pre-flop and flop) must be equal to the big blind; this amount is called the small bet. In the next two rounds of betting (turn and river), bets and raises must be equal to twice the big blind; this amount is called the big bet. No-limit hold 'em is the form most commonly found in televised tournament poker and is the game played in the main event of the World Series of Poker. In no-limit hold 'em, players may bet or raise any amount over the minimum raise up to all of the chips the player has at the table (called an all-in bet). If someone wishes to re-raise, they must raise at least the amount of the previous raise. For example, if the big blind is $2 and there is a bet of $6 to a total of $8, a raise must be at least $6 more for a total of $14. If a raise or re-raise is all-in and does not equal the size of the previous raise, the initial raiser can not re-raise again. This only matters of course if there was a call before the re-raise. In pot-limit hold 'em, the maximum raise is the current size of the pot (including the amount needed to call).
Most casinos that offer hold 'em also allow the player to the left of the big blind to post an optional live straddle, usually double the amount of the big blind, which then acts as the big blind. No-limit games may also allow multiple re-straddles, in any amount that would be a legal raise.[12]
Play of the hand
Each player is dealt two private cards in hold 'em. They are dealt first.Play begins with each player being dealt two cards face down, with the player in the small blind receiving the first card and the player in the button seat receiving the last card dealt. (Like most poker games, the deck is a standard 52 card deck, no jokers.) These cards are the player's hole or pocket cards. These are the only cards each player will receive individually, and they will only (possibly) be revealed at the showdown, making Texas hold 'em a closed poker game.
The hand begins with a "pre-flop" betting round, beginning with the player to the left of the big blind (or the player to the left of the dealer, if no blinds are used) and continuing clockwise. A round of betting continues until every player has either folded, put in all of their chips, or matched the amount put in by all other active players. See betting for a detailed account. Note that the blinds are considered "live" in the pre-flop betting round, meaning that they contribute to the amount that the blind player must contribute, and that, if all players call around to the player in the big blind position, that player may either check or raise.
After the pre-flop betting round, assuming there remain at least two players taking part in the hand, the dealer deals a flop, three face-up community cards. The flop is followed by a second betting round. This and all subsequent betting rounds begin with the player to the dealer's left and continue clockwise.
After the flop betting round ends, a single community card (called the turn or fourth street) is dealt, followed by a third betting round. A final single community card (called the river or fifth street) is then dealt, followed by a fourth betting round and the showdown, if necessary.
In all casinos, the dealer will burn a card before the flop, turn, and river. Because of this burn, players who are betting cannot see the back of the next community card to come, which might be marked.[12]
The showdown
If a player bets and all other players fold, then the remaining player is awarded the pot and is not required to show his hole cards. If two or more players remain after the final betting round, a showdown occurs. On the showdown, each player plays the best five-card poker hand he can make from the seven cards comprising his two hole cards and the five community cards. A player may use both of his own two hole cards, only one, or none at all, to form his final five-card hand. If the five community cards form the player's best hand, then the player is said to be playing the board and can only hope to split the pot, since each other player can also use the same five cards to construct the same hand.[12]
If the best hand is shared by more than one player, then the pot is split equally among them, with any extra chips going to the first players after the button in clockwise order. It is common for players to have closely-valued, but not identically ranked hands. Nevertheless, one must be careful in determining the best hand; if the hand involves fewer than five cards, (such as two pair or three of a kind), then kickers are used to settle ties (see the second example below). Note that the card's numerical rank is of sole importance; suit values are irrelevant in Hold'em."
Poker: Texas Holdem: Cash Game: lost with Full House vs 3 of Kind due to dealer mistake.? Gentlemen,
...my worst poker expierences ever.
I played texas holdem cash game, bad homburg germany, blinds 5-10 eur. 5 players: i get pocket 2`s in the hole.
flop: J,2,9 rainbow
i was in the late position, called preflop raise of 50,00
the guy that raised checked after the flop.
i decided to raise to 150,00 with my 3 of kind. figured he had pocket 10`s or so. After he called i figured he must have hit the jack. anyway: here comes the turn, 5. he checks, i raise again 150, he decides to go all in with his remaining money, about 600,00 eur...i immediately called with my 3 of a kind "2`s".
He turns around JACK ACE and I showed my pocket 2Вґs
at this point in time i am way ahead with 3 of kind vs his 2 jacks. here comes the river, another jack, the guy cheers, i am irritated the dealer then says his three of kind is better than yours... i couldnt think straight anymore and left the table...lost a over eur 1500,00 pot. Later on i realized that i had a full house 222JJ: RULES?

Nun Y replied: "go back to your question. ''AT THIS POINT IN TIME'' you have the nuts before the river....then you left the table....the only better outcome is if you had stood up, said son of a b-itch grabbed your cards and threw them down hard in the middle so they slightly touch the muck. also a loss.....you are definitely and cordially invited to my weekly Friday night game.

Bill F replied: "yes you should have won the hand. The dealer mistake is awful but it is your responsibility to read the hand as well"
ZCT replied: "The rules are, it is your responsibility to read your hand. If you have trips and the board pairs, you should know that you now have a boat. You should have immediately pointed this out and taken your money. If the dealer refuses you call the supervisor over.
After the fact, there is nothing you can really do. If it was a good casino you could complain and have them take a look at the security tape. This may lead to them firing the dealer or re-training him. Maybe they even give you some comps to say sorry. But ultimately, it's far too late to do anything about it.
Quite frankly, if you make mistakes like this, it sounds like you are playing at too high a level. Maybe you should be playing 1/2 until you are more comfortable with the game."
suspendedagain300 replied: "I find it hard to believe that at a 5/10 table, not one single person, especially you, noticed this error. Generally, in my experience anyway, at a live table, the rest of the players are paying some attention to the hands they are not in, especially hands with as much action as you have described. There had to be at least 3 or 4 sets of eyes on this hand and I am amazed that not one person recognized that the other guy was drawing dead on the river. So, A) I find the story a bit far fetched and, B) you should have gone back to speak with the pit boss at the very least. I am not sure of the protocol in a situation like this but the pit boss would have done something to rectify the error. Contrary to what others have said, the cards do the talking in a live game, not the player. Your failure to recognize the hand doesn't mean you lost the pot. If the hand was determined by what the player thought he/she had, I would just yell "Quads!!" everytime I flipped my cards."
ItsMe replied: "You should have said to the dealer "I think you are mistaken. I have a full house, he only has trips. I should win the pot". Once you walked away from the table your hand was dead so it is too late to do anything about it now. From now on make sure you pay a little more attention. Don't let your head get so cloudy that you can't tell when 1500,00 should be your money and not someone elses."

HIGH CARD - self explanetary

STRAIGHT - 5 cards in ascending order ie A2345

FULL HOUSE - 3 of a kind + a pair ie AAAKK
4 OF A KNID
STARIGHT FLUSH - 5 cards in ascending order and all same suit
ROYAL FLUSH - 10JQKA all same suit
Texas holdem is played by each player being dealt two private cards, called hole cards. Then a round of betting starting with the player left of the big blind. When bettings finished, 3 community cards are laid visible on the table, this is called the flop, another round of betting this time starting from the small blind. Then one more card is laid visible on the table called the turn, round of betting, then the last card is laid on the table, called the river, then the last round of betting. The person with the best 5 card poker hand out of the 7 available (2 hole cards and 5 community cards) wins, or the person who bets all other players out of the pot wins.
Betting- when betting, you can:
CHECK - If noone bets you can 'check' meaning you don't put any money in the pot.
CALL- If someone has already bet an amount, calling is putting in the same money as the previous bettor.
RAISE - Put more money in the pot
FOLD - Throw your hand away
Blinds are a compulsary blind bet that is made before cards are dealt to get the action going. The dealer button is passed around the table before each hand, to the left is the small blind, and to the left of the small blind is the big blind. Usually the small blind bet is half the size of the big blind. So you'll always have BUTTON>SMALL BLIND>BIG BLIND.
Good Luck!"

If half way through a tournament it is discovered there is missing cards from the deck, what is the official ruling on what course of action to take?
Do you restart the entire game and everyone starts with the original amount of chips? or do you change the deck of cards and carry on?
Please only reply if you know the official ruling on this. Thanks.
Fredster replied: "I would restart the game with the full set of cards. The rules are that you must have 52 cards in a pack for the game. If you carried on it would might have been unfair on some people who could have got certain hands but didn't because of the missing cards."
TheMadProfessor replied: "In any organized tournament (certainly any taking place in a casino), that's next to impossible to happen - at every dealer change, the first thing the dealer does is verify the decks are complete by an in-sequence fan of the cards. Then, after the river of each hand, they usually count the remaining cards to verify there are still 52 in all. I'm not sure what any official ruling on such an occurrence would be, but at a minimum I'd think a dealer or two (and possibly a pit boss) would be out of a job."
Supreme replied: "there is no OFFICIAL ruling because this would not happen at a casino style organized game . NOw at a backdoor game i believe the deck should be switched and everyone keep playing because everyone was playing with the handicap of a missing card so it's still fair but to take someone who is up 10k and say my bad there is a card missing sorry we have to start all over .. that is not fair"
About some rules in Texas Holdem Poker? 1. What happens when a dealer accidentally uncovers a card: for example a dealer accidentally shows a river before all people bet.
You show your cards: the player is folding and he shows the cards to others while throwing them away, when others are still playing
sorry missed "2. " at the beginning of the second sentence :)
MagicianTrent replied: "On number 2, the cards that were thrown away face-up are shown to all players to make sure that no one gets an unfair advantage as a result of being among the few (or only) to see what the cards were.
I'm not sure on Number 1, but my guess would be that the bets for that round are returned, and the pot is split among all players who were in at the start of that round."
how to play Texas HoldEm Poker on facebook? i opened the main page of Texas HoldEm Poker...but i cant find the rules...can someone tell me were i can find the rules for Texas HoldEm Poker on facebook??....thanx
otkpoker replied: "Texas Holdem is the most popular poker game in the casinos and cardrooms of North America and Europe. Each player is dealt two cards (hole cards) which belong only to that player.
Five community cards are dealt face-up on the board. All players may use these cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to make the best 5 card hand possible. To view the rankings of poker hands, visit our hand rankings page at...
In Holdem, a disc also known as the button, serves to indicate which player is the nominal dealer for the current game. Before the game begins, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the small blind, typically half a small bet (for example, $1 in a $2/$4 game). The player immediately clockwise to the small blind posts the big blind, which is always a full smallet (for example, $2 in a $2/$4 game). Now, each player receives his or her two hole cards. Betting action proceeds around the table, starting with the player immediately clockwise to the big blind.
Players may now fold, check, call the big blind, or raise. In Limit games, the raise is limited to one small bet. In Pot Limit the maximum raise is the pot (the amount currently in the pot, plus his call), whereas in No Limit the maximum raise can be any amount of chips.
THE FLOP
Now, the flop is dealt face-up on the board. The flop is the first three community cards available to all active players. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise the button. Again, in Limit games, all bets and raises at this point occur in small bets (increments of $2 in a $2/$4 game).
THE TURN
When betting action is completed for the flop round, the turn is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in a Holdem game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise the button. On this round in Limit games, betting doubles from the small bet to the big bet. In a $2/$4 game, betting on the turn is done in $4 increments.
THE RIVER
When betting action is completed for the turn round, the river is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in a Holdem game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button.
If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last bettor or raiser shows his or her cards. If there was no bet on the final round, the player immediately clockwise the button shows his or her cards first. The player with the best five-card hand wins the pot. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands."
castel replied: "It's pretty easy Texas Hold'em rules are the same everywhere. The guide I used to learn playing hold'em it's the one available from Yahoo! at this website

When only two players remain, special 'head-to-head' or 'heads up' rules are enforced and the blinds are posted differently. In this case, the person with the dealer button posts the small blind, while his/her opponent places the big blind. The dealer acts first before the flop. After the flop, the dealer acts last for the remainder of the hand.
The three most common variations of hold 'em are limit hold 'em, no-limit hold 'em and pot-limit hold 'em. Limit hold 'em has historically been the most popular form of hold 'em found in casino live action games in the United States.[2] In limit hold 'em, bets and raises during the first two rounds of betting (pre-flop and flop) must be equal to the big blind; this amount is called the small bet. In the next two rounds of betting (turn and river), bets and raises must be equal to twice the big blind; this amount is called the big bet. No-limit hold 'em is the form most commonly found in televised tournament poker and is the game played in the main event of the World Series of Poker. In no-limit hold 'em, players may bet or raise any amount over the minimum raise up to all of the chips the player has at the table (called an all-in bet). If someone wishes to re-raise, they must raise at least the amount of the previous raise. For example, if the big blind is $2 and there is a bet of $6 to a total of $8, a raise must be at least $6 more for a total of $14. If a raise or re-raise is all-in and does not equal the size of the previous raise, the initial raiser can not re-raise again. This only matters of course if there was a call before the re-raise. In pot-limit hold 'em, the maximum raise is the current size of the pot (including the amount needed to call).
Most casinos that offer hold 'em also allow the player to the left of the big blind to post an optional live straddle, usually double the amount of the big blind, which then acts as the big blind. No-limit games may also allow multiple re-straddles, in any amount that would be a legal raise.[12]
Play of the hand
Each player is dealt two private cards in hold 'em. They are dealt first.Play begins with each player being dealt two cards face down, with the player in the small blind receiving the first card and the player in the button seat receiving the last card dealt. (Like most poker games, the deck is a standard 52 card deck, no jokers.) These cards are the player's hole or pocket cards. These are the only cards each player will receive individually, and they will only (possibly) be revealed at the showdown, making Texas hold 'em a closed poker game.
The hand begins with a "pre-flop" betting round, beginning with the player to the left of the big blind (or the player to the left of the dealer, if no blinds are used) and continuing clockwise. A round of betting continues until every player has either folded, put in all of their chips, or matched the amount put in by all other active players. See betting for a detailed account. Note that the blinds are considered "live" in the pre-flop betting round, meaning that they contribute to the amount that the blind player must contribute, and that, if all players call around to the player in the big blind position, that player may either check or raise.
After the pre-flop betting round, assuming there remain at least two players taking part in the hand, the dealer deals a flop, three face-up community cards. The flop is followed by a second betting round. This and all subsequent betting rounds begin with the player to the dealer's left and continue clockwise.
After the flop betting round ends, a single community card (called the turn or fourth street) is dealt, followed by a third betting round. A final single community card (called the river or fifth street) is then dealt, followed by a fourth betting round and the showdown, if necessary.
In all casinos, the dealer will burn a card before the flop, turn, and river. Because of this burn, players who are betting cannot see the back of the next community card to come, which might be marked.[12]
The showdown
If a player bets and all other players fold, then the remaining player is awarded the pot and is not required to show his hole cards. If two or more players remain after the final betting round, a showdown occurs. On the showdown, each player plays the best five-card poker hand he can make from the seven cards comprising his two hole cards and the five community cards. A player may use both of his own two hole cards, only one, or none at all, to form his final five-card hand. If the five community cards form the player's best hand, then the player is said to be playing the board and can only hope to split the pot, since each other player can also use the same five cards to construct the same hand.[12]
If the best hand is shared by more than one player, then the pot is split equally among them, with any extra chips going to the first players after the button in clockwise order. It is common for players to have closely-valued, but not identically ranked hands. Nevertheless, one must be careful in determining the best hand; if the hand involves fewer than five cards, (such as two pair or three of a kind), then kickers are used to settle ties (see the second example below). Note that the card's numerical rank is of sole importance; suit values are irrelevant in Hold'em."

Then one more card is laid visible on the table called the turn, round of betting, then the last card is laid on the table, called the river, then the last round of betting. The person with the best 5 card poker hand out of the 7 available (2 hole cards and 5 community cards) wins, or the person who bets all other players out of the pot wins.
Betting- when betting, you can:
CHECK - If noone bets you can 'check' meaning you don't put any money in the pot.
CALL- If someone has already bet an amount, calling is putting in the same money as the previous bettor.
RAISE - Put more money in the pot
FOLD - Throw your hand away
Blinds are a compulsary blind bet that is made before cards are dealt to get the action going. The dealer button is passed around the table before each hand, to the left is the small blind, and to the left of the small blind is the big blind. Usually the small blind bet is half the size of the big blind. So you'll always have BUTTON>SMALL BLIND>BIG BLIND.
Good Luck!"

Another round of betting, then a 4th card on the table, another round of betting, a 5th card, and then a final round of betting. The person with the best 5-card hand using their 2 cards combined with the 5 on the table wins the pot."
