Start by saying that we will refer to the American variant Texas Hold'em Poker. Both for the composition of the deck of cards for the value of the combinations.

American variants of poker use a classic French deck of 52 cards. (Not including the Joker).

The cards are divided into four groups known as "seeds"

hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades - to 13 cards each.

Each seed

includes nine cards numbered 2-10, three figures (Jack, Donna and King) and an Ace. The value of the cards is, in ascending order, 2, 3, ... 10, J (jack), Q (woman), K (king), Ace. Note that, Unlike many games in Italy, the seeds have all the same! Therefore an Ace of hearts that is just like an Ace of spades or other seed.

The aim of each game of poker is to win the prize at the center of the table is that, in jargon called pot.

dish is the amount of money or chips in the betting by players Throughout each round of play.

dish can be won in two ways:

forming the combination of 5 cards of higher value, above combinations of opponents, or leading all other players to pass, that is to retire from the game before its conclusion.
The number of players can vary from two to play head to head also known as heads-up), up to ten in a single table tournaments or cash games Those with stakes in real money). The multi-table tournaments do not provide a maximum number of participants and, less than a limit specified by the organizers of the tournament, you can have competitions with over 1000 participants spread across several tables. The player must decide the size of bet for each hand and how much money should point in total. After receiving the first hand to carefully evaluate and compare the cards to the table Payout that will appear on screen during the game. At the end of the second hand will know whether the player won or lost, and there will be other opportunities to change the cards in play. We recommend that you take your time you need to make reasoned decisions, given that the match takes place against a machine and not against a real player. Each machine is different and it is essential to know the percentage of each payment to make the best choice.
For "hand" in poker means to be a round of play - one that goes from the cards to win the pot by a player - is the combination of cards made by a player. In this section we consider the "hand" in this second sense. The hands are made in different ways depending on the variant you are playing.

In Texas Hold'em each player receives two personal cards (not visible to other players) called "Poket cards" that can combine with the five community cards that are the "board" willing to face the center of the table. The hand must be composed of five cards and the possible combinations are: Poket 2 + 3 cards of the board, 1 + 4 Poket card board, all 5 cards of the board and no personal cards. Here are the details of the combinations that can be made are listed in descending order (from that of higher value to that which is worth less). Remember, the suit has no value.

- Royal Flush (Royal Flush): consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence to dall'Asso Ten.

- SCALE OF COLOR (Straight Flush): consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence (except the sequence Ace - 10 which is the Royal Flush). The color scale maximum value will be the one from K to 9. If you carry two or more scales of color in the same hand, the winner is determined by scale which includes the highest value card. A color scale of the King, like the example above - from K to 9 wins against a scale of color to Women - by 8-Q.

- POKER (Four of a Kind): Composed of four cards of equal value, plus an extra card. If a hand in most poker players have a win than the higher value cards. If poker players from several in the same hand are the same person who won the fifth card of greater value.

- FULL (Full House): consists of a kind (three cards of the same value) plus a pair (two cards of same rank). The value of a full house is determined by the trio that includes: a full house of Jack (JJ-Jxx) won against a full 7-(7-7-7-xx). The value of torque is crucial only if two or more players have made full with the same tris.

- COLORS (Flush): consists of five cards of the same suit but not in sequence. If two or more players achieve a hand in the same color, the winner is decided by the highest value card that includes the same color. In order to determine the winner between two colors, the suit has no value. If the highest cards of two colors are equal, Champion color that has the second highest value card and so on until the fifth card.

- SCALA (Straight): consisting of five cards in sequence but not all the same suit. In determining the value of a scale has only the value of the paper that the higher made.

- TRIS (Three of a Kind): consists of three cards of the same value. The other two cards of the hand are irrelevant and not related to them. The remaining two cards are used to determine the winning hand of two tris of the same value. In this case one who wins has the fourth highest value card. For example, if two players have a trio of Jack and the player achieves a J - J - J - 9-6 and B, the player closes a hand with J - J - J - K - 2 will be the second player to win the pot.

- PAIR DOUBLE (two - Pairs): consists of two pairs of cards of same rank and a fifth card. In determining the winner between two hands that have closed a two pair are considered in order: 1. The value of the greater of the two pairs (10-10 - 9 - 9-2 wins against 8-8 - 2-2 - K) 2. The value of the second pair if the two couples are more equal (10-10 - 9 - 9-2 wins against 10-10 - 6 - 6-2), 3. The value of the fifth card if both pairs of the two hands are the same (8-8 - 2-2 - K wins against 8-8 - 2 - 2-6).

- PAIR (Pair): consists of two cards of one rank and three other cards combined. To determine what is the greater of two hands that have closed a couple, it is estimated the value of couples and, if they are equivalent, The value of the first highest card. If there was still tied compare the second highest card and so on.

- MAP MORE 'HIGH (High Card): consists of 5 cards combined. The value of such a hand is determined by the highest value card. If two players have just done with hands highest card and these are equivalent, we compare the second highest card and so on.
