Any of the many poker variations can be played by a player who understands the hand values and betting principles. A poker hand usually consists of five cards.
From five of a kind to no pair at all:
- Only games with a joker, two one-eyed jacks, or four deuces can result in a five-of-a-kind. Two queens plus three wild cards, or four tens plus a wild card.
- Best hand-created with only the standard pack and no wild cards. Straight flushes consist of five cards of the same suit. A royal flush, also known as a royal straight flush, consists of an A, K, Q, J, and 10 of the same suit. This hand has a chance of 1 in 650,000.

- To avoid betting, a player can “check.” The player has “placed no bets.” A player may check to see if anyone has placed a bet before them. If someone else has bet, they must call or lose; however, a checker may raise someone else’s bet. This is known as “sandbagging,” and it is permitted unless otherwise stated. If all players check during a round, the betting interval ends.
- Each round’s winner is determined by the game’s rules. No one may check, bet, or drop until it is their turn.
BETTING LIMITS
Poker hands are ranked mathematically. Desperate players are dealt a better, more likely to win hand. A straight flush can be expected every 65,000 hands, but only two pairs every 21. A player should not bet unless they have the best hand, unless they intend to bluff. Only an experienced poker player can bet wisely. There is a table of the various Poker hands in a deck of cards.
KITTY
To create a “kitty,” the players must vote. Typically, the kitty is built by “cutting” one low-denomination chip from each pot. The kitty is used by all players to purchase new cards or food and drink. Any unspent chips are distributed evenly among the remaining players. In Pinochle, for example, a player who leaves a game before it ends forfeits their share of the pot.
LIMIT
A maximum of two, five, or ten chips may be bet. The limit varies depending on the stage of the game: five before the draw, ten after the draw. If the first four betting intervals are all five, the final betting interval in Stud Poker is ten (and often ten whenever a player has a pair or better showing).
CAP
It’s now only the size of the pot. A raiser may place the necessary number of chips in the pot. If there are six chips in the pot and a four-chip bet, the total is 10; 14 if the next player calls; and 15 if the player raises. When playing pot limit, no more than 50 chips should be used.
TABLE STAKES
That is the upper limit. The player calls an opponent’s bet up to the player’s chip count. No one can withdraw or return chips to the banker after that. Between deals, a player may only add to their stack.
WILD CARDS
Wild cards are permitted in games such as Dealer’s Choice. To complete a straight or flush, a wild card can be used. In poker, wild cards can help you get a full house or a straight flush. They are usually chosen in the following order:
JOKER
Most decks for games like Canasta have two jokers. Jokers are increasingly being used as wild cards in poker.
BUGS
It has a limited wildness: as an ace, it counts as a rank and suit card for a flush.
DEUCES
Draw Poker Variant Twos “Deuces Wild” The joker serves as a wild card. There are five of a kind 10, 10, 2, 2, 2 (10s) triumphs over 8, 8, 8, 8, 2, 2. (Five eights)
ONE-EYED CARDS
Except for the diamond king, all of the other face cards have two eyes. Wild cards include one-eyed jacks and the diamond king.
LOW HOLE CARD
It is the lowest “hole” card held by the player (the card dealt face down and not seen by the other players). In Draw Poker, the wild card is the lowest. When a player’s hand contains a card of that rank, it is wild, but other players’ hands are not.
Players should set a time limit for the game and stick to it before starting. A breach of this rule could turn a pleasant session into a bore. So players know how many deals are left and can adjust their strategies accordingly, the host or one of the players will often say “three more deals” or “through Zane’s deal” before quitting.
