Types
Texas Hold 'Em:
One of the fastest games at the Poker table, played by two to ten Players and
consists of four rounds of betting where you aim to get the highest hand. It's
the Poker game with the lowest limit.
5-Card Stud:
You will be one of two to ten Players and it requires skill in being able to
judge the strength of individual hands. With four rounds of betting, you aim to
finish with the best hand and take home the pot.
7-Card Stud:
You will be one of two to eight Players. Five rounds of betting take place
during each hand with the maximum bet doubled after the third round. The best
hand wins the pot.
Omaha:
Played by two to ten Players. The aim is to create the best five-card
combination from a total of nine cards.
Know your Poker Hands
From lowest to highest:
- High card: If nobody at the table has a Pair or better, whoever has the
highest card wins.
- Pair: One Pair with three distinct cards. High cards break ties.
- Two Pairs: A hand with two Pairs, the highest Pair wins. A High card
decides the winner if Players have the same ranked pairs.
- Three of a kind: Three cards of the same value where the High card will
break ties.
- Straight: Five consecutive cards, but not from the same suit. The highest
Straight wins. Two straights of the same value split the pot.
- Flush: Five cards of the same suit in no particular order. If a Flush ties,
the highest cards win.
- Full House: Two cards of one value and three cards of another. The highest
Full House wins.
- Four of a kind: Also called a Poker, four cards of the same value.
- Straight Flush: Five cards of the same suit in consecutive order.
- Royal Flush: The same as a Straight Flush but the highest card is an Ace
