Poker is a thrilling game, which is very easy to learn the rules but it takes a lifetime to master and become a great player, and that's just good, every day you have something more to learn and improve to become a good poker player. Before explaining the rules left them a familiar phrase in the poker world:

"How long does it take to learn poker, Dad?"
"All your life, son." Michael Pertwee

 

There are several modalities, and types of poker game

1.1-Methods of Poker:

Texas Hold'em is a relatively new member of the poker family, but it is the variant that has become more popular in the world in recent years. Main Event World Poker Championship is contested playing no limit Texas Hold'em game, sometimes called the Cadillac of poker.

Search Categories: At first glance, Omaha is a lot like Texas Hold'em. But in Omaha, each player receives four cards - this gives Omaha an interesting complexity.

• The Seven Card Stud is probably the most played variation of poker in the world. Existence since the days of the American Civil War.

• The Draw poker is probably the oldest form of poker. In five card draw, you have the opportunity to see any of the cards in your opponent. The only information we have about their hands is how they bet and how many letters they choose.

In this article I will teach them to play no limit Texas Hold'em is the most play today in the world, both live and in most rooms online. Poker is played with the 52 letters of the English deck. The cards have values, from lowest to highest, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, and there are four suits: clubs, hearts, spades, and diamonds , none of which has more value than the other.
On a table in Texas Hold em poker player there is always a Dealer position. This position will rotate in the direction of clockwise, that is, if you are in the position of Dealer in the next round of play, the player immediately to your left should become the Dealer.
 

1.2 - What does it mean to Dealer?

Dealer position is for reference only for the order in which players bet and also to determine which players place bets blind before the start of each game round.
 

1.3 - What are the blinds?

In a poker table there are two blinds called Big Blind (big blind) and Small Blid (small blind). The player immediately to the left of the dealer places the Small Blid (small blind) and the player to the left of this places the Big Blind (big blind). These blinds are placed on the table before each game round, ie before any cards are dealt to players.
Once placed the blinds are dealt two cards face down to each player, cards that only they can watch. When all players have two hole cards comes the first round of betting and the first to speak is the player to the left of the Big Blind (big blind).

1.4 .- When a player speaks you can:

- Make Check: Continue playing without raising your bet (only if no one has gone before)
- To Raise: Place a bet over the last bet of another player.
- Make Call: Match the last bet of another player.
- Make Fold: Strips without showing your cards and you lose if you bet every dollar.

After the first betting round is dealt three cards in the center of the table, these cards are called flop and are cards that all players can see. Here begins the second round of betting. The turn to speak begins at the player who is positioned Small Blind or the next nearest. The turn order is equal in subsequent rounds of betting.
 

At the end of the second betting round is dealt one card in the center of the table after the Turn had a total of four cards on the table that all players can see. This fourth card is called the Turn. Here begins the third round of betting.

At the end of the third round of betting the last card is dealt on the center of the table following the previous four having a total of five community cards that all players can see. This fifth card is called the River. Here begins the final round of betting.

1.5 - Possible Card Combinations

Royal flush

The best play of poker. Includes cards 10, J, Q, K and A of same suit. Every player is entitled to one of these throughout his life.
 

Straight Flush

Five cards of the same suit in consecutive order. The higher the highest card of the ladder, the better the ranking of the hand. In this example the highest card is 10, would beat a straight flush with a high card 9.
 

Póker

Four cards of equal value. The higher the value of these four cards, the higher the ranking of the hand. In case of tie, possible poker variants that use community cards, wins the hand which is higher fifth card.
 

Full

This move brings together 3 cards of one rank and 2 of another. When comparing two fulls, wins which has the value of the three cards higher. Thus, a full 7-7-7-2-2 beats a full 5-5-5-AA. If the threes are the same value in two hands, wins the one with the remaining pair of cards higher, so that for example 7-7-7-AA overtake 7-7-7-KK.
 

Color

The color does not make it up five cards of the same suit. Earn the tiebreaker between two colors Whoever has the highest card.

It is composed of three cards of the same value. Between two wins trios consisting of higher cards. If both trios are formed by matching cards, decided the tie with the highest card of the other two making up the hand, and if these two letters were equal, it compares to the fifth cards in each hand.
