There are 52 cards in the pack, and the ranking of the individual cards, from high to low, is ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. There is no ranking between the
suits - so for example the king of hearts and the king of spades are equal.
A poker hand consists of five cards. The categories of hand, from highest to lowest, are listed below. Any hand in a higher category beats any hand in a lower category
(so for example any three of a kind beats any two pairs). Between hands in the same category the rank of the individual cards decides which is better, as described in more detail below.
In games where a player has more than five cards and selects five to form a poker hand, the remaining cards do not play any part in the ranking. Poker ranks are always
based on five cards only.
Many experts follow their own gambling strategies.

Game Rules
- House rules
A common "house rule" in some places is that a player may not replace more than three cards, unless he draws four cards while keeping an ace (or wild card). This rule is only needed for low-stakes social games where many players will stay for the draw, and will help avoid depletion of the deck. In more serious games such as those played in casinos it is unnecessary and generally not used. A rule that is used by many casinos is that a player is not allowed to draw five consecutive cards from the deck. In this case, if a player wishes to replace all five of his cards, he is given four of them in turn, the other players are given their draws, and then the dealer returns to that player to give him his fifth replacement; if no other player draws it is necessary to deal a burn card first.
Another common house rule is that the bottom card of the deck is never given as a replacement, to avoid the possibility of someone who might have seen it during the deal using that information. If the deck is depleted during the draw before all players have received their replacements, the last players can receive cards chosen randomly from among those discarded by previous players. For example, if the last player to draw wants three replacements but there are only two cards remaining in the deck, the dealer gives the player the one top card he can give, then shuffles together the bottom card of the deck, the burn card, and the earlier players' discards (but not the player's own discards), and finally deals two more replacements to the last player.
Sample deal
The sample deal is being played by four players as shown to the right with Alice dealing.
All four players ante $1. Alice deals five cards to each player and places the deck aside. Bob opens the betting round by betting $5. Carol folds, David calls, and Alice calls, closing the betting round. Bob now declares that he wishes to replace three of his cards, so he removes those three cards from his hand and discards them. Alice retrieves the deck, deals a burn card, then deals three cards directly to Bob, who puts them in his hand. David discards one card, and Alice deals one card to him from the deck. Alice now discards three of her own cards, and replaces them with three from the top of the deck (Note: in a player-dealt casino game there is often a rule that the dealer must discard before picking up the deck, but this is a home game so we won't worry about such details). Now a second betting round begins. Bob checks, David checks, Alice bets $10, Bob folds, David raises $16, and Alice calls, ending the second betting round. Alice shows a flush, and David shows two pair, so Alice takes the pot.
Professional poker players can sense what their opponents have in their hands. When just beginning you may not be able to read your opponents with that level of skill, but if you
can take a moment to read the cards on the board, you can tell with certainty what they do not have. Reading the board lets you know what hands are possible, and from there
you can use other information from your opponents to gauge what hands are probable. And act accordingly.
Poker Definitions
- brick & mortar
A brick & mortar or B&M casino is a term referring to a "real" casino based in a building, as opposed to an online casino. This term is used to refer to
many real world locations vs. their Internet counterparts. It is not just a poker term.
bring in
1. To open a betting round. Alice brought it in for $4, and Bob raised to $10. Ted posted the bring-in.
2. A type of forced bet. Rather than (or in addition to) antes or blinds, some games, like seven card stud use a bring-in. The advantage of bring-in games
is that the player can look at their hand before betting and can then bet the minimum bring or a full bet (usually 2.5X the bring in amount). Even though it is a
forced bet, it is not considered a blind bet because the player may look at their cards before acting.
Broadway
The Ace high straight. AKQJT (offsuit) is Broadway.
Broomcorn's Uncle
This is a colorful term for calling a player overly tight.
This term is defined in Doyle Brunson's poker book, Super/System. Broomcorn's Uncle purportedly blinded himself to death, and a player playing so
few hands that the antes and blinds ensure that they are losing is said to be "going like Broomcorn's Uncle. Mike Sexton used this term on the World
Poker Tour Ladies Night 2006 episode. The pop-up defined it as "Losing all your chips by never playing a hand." Broomcorn is another name for boring
common millet.
brush
1. A casino employee whose job it is to greet players entering the poker room, maintain the list of persons waiting to play, announce open seats, and
various other duties (including brushing off tables to prepare them for new games, hence the name).
2. To recruit players into a game. Dave is brushing up some players for tonight's game.
bubble
The last finishing position in a poker tournament before entering the payout structure. He was very frustrated after getting eliminated on the bubble. Also
can be applied to other situations like if six players will make a televised final table the player finishing seventh will go out on the "TV bubble". Also used to
describe any situation close to the payout structure.
bullet
1. An ace.
2. A chip. Also "ammo".
bully
A player who repeatedly makes large bets. This prevents opportunities from getting free or cheap cards that may complete a drawing hand.
bum deal
A mis-deal
bump
To raise. Alice bet $5 and Bob bumped it to $20.
