Hold ‘Em
The Group
The deck is a normal 52-card deck.
The Goal of the Game
Each player’s goal is to win the pot, which is made up of all of the players’ bets in any given deal. A player places a bet in the hopes of having the best hand or giving the impression of having one. The best hand and winner for that transaction is the top five-card combination. At the end of the round, the winner receives all of the chips in the pot.
Scoring/Values of Cards
Straight Flush – When only the regular pack is utilised and no wild cards are used, this is the best possible hand. A straight flush is made up of five cards in a row of the same suit, such as the 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 of hearts.
The next highest hand is four of a kind. Four aces or four threes are two examples.
Full House – This vibrant hand consists of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, for example, three 8s and two 4s.
A flush is five cards of the same suit that are not all in the same order. Q, 10, 7, 6, and 2 of clubs are an example.
A straight is five cards in a row that are not all of the same suit. 9 is an example, as is 8 is an example, 7 is an example, 6 is an example, and 5 is an example of a number.
Three of a Kind – This hand consists of three cards of the same rank and two cards of different ranks, such as three jacks, a seven, and a four.
Two Pairs – This hand includes a pair of one rank and another pair of a different rank, as well as any fifth card of a different rank, such as Q, Q, 7, 7, 4, and so on.
One Pair – This common combination consists of only one pair, with the other three cards being of varying ranks. 10, 10, K, 4, 3 is an example.
No Pair – This is a pretty common hand that has no cards in it. There are no pairs among the five cards, nor are they all of the same suit or rank. When more than one player does not have a pair, the hands are ranked according to the highest card in each hand, so an ace-high hand trumps a king-high hand, and so on.
