Naveensuthas replied: "All poker games begin with some forced wager over which poker players compete. In Seven Card Stud, there are two forced wagers, an ante and a bring-in. 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.

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."


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."


poker_fan_in_nyc replied: "Give the 10 points to Matty P...he answered it perfectly :)"


Games Gurl replied: "Matty did sum it up great, but also keep in mind that there are heaps of sites around where you can play the games for free, for money and learn how to play them all.
Have a look around to see what suits you, I love playing at pkr myself and they have awesome graphics. For a big list of sites click the link in my source, that's how i got on to it all."
