Step 1
There are many varieties of poker. Draw poker is considered the simplest and most common. It is with him that you are most likely to come across when you come to visit friends and receive an invitation to spread the cards. Read its rules carefully.
Step 2
Remember that at the beginning of draw poker you will need to declare your bet, after which you will receive five hole cards. Start analyzing combinations. Today there is a huge number of a wide variety of colorful tables that contain all the main combinations found in the game, with an explanation of their dignity and relationships between each other. After the first round of betting, you will be able to exchange some of the cards, after which the final round of betting will begin.
Step 3
As you practice, you will have a complete picture of all the relationships between the cards in your head. Before the first fight, you definitely need to know that the best combination is the combination of ace, king, queen, jack and ten, if they are of the same suit. Also, good luck can bring a straight flush (the previous version is known as a royal flush), in which you also have cards of the same suit and in sequential order, but not necessarily senior ones. The third most advantageous combination is four of a kind, for which you only need to have four cards of the same rank in your hand.
Step 4
Remember these three options, as well as the last few - two pairs of cards (different), as well as cards of the same rank in duplicate. Since there are only ten possible combinations in draw poker, you will have to learn four more: three cards of the same value and two of the other, the presence of five suited cards in your hands, a sequence of cards of different suits, and also three cards of the same value in your hands.
Step 5
Note that in any other case, one rule comes into play: you are only interested in the largest card in your set. She can only beat the opponent's card of lesser value.
