How to Play Poker — A Beginner's Guide

1. Royal Flush — A-K-Q-J-T same suit. Strongest hand in the game.
2. Straight Flush — 5 cards in sequence, same suit.
3. Four of a Kind — 4 cards of the same value.
4. Full House — three of a kind + pair.
5. Flush — 5 cards of the same suit.
6. Straight — 5 sequential cards.
7. Three of a Kind
8. Two Pair

10. High Card — nothing made, highest card wins.

• Fold — quit the hand, forfeit what you already put in.
• Call — match the current bet and stay in.
• Raise — increase the bet.
• Check — no current bet, pass without paying.
• All-In — bet all your chips.
• Pot — total money accumulated in the middle of the table.

• Playing too many hands. Most hands aren\'t worth it. Fold ~70% preflop.
• Falling in love with Ace. A♠K♣ is a good hand — but it loses to pairs more often than you\'d think.
• Chasing draws without math. Learn pot odds.
• Bluffing without a reason. A bluff only works when your story makes sense on the board.
• Not managing bankroll. Only play stakes you can afford to lose. Bankroll guide.
