Poker Hands
Poker is a 5-card game. Players are given an opportunity to bet on their hands. The player with the best hand wins. Hands are rated according to the following scale:
From best to worst:
Straight Flush
All 5 cards are in sequential order and the same suit (see Straight and Flush below).

4 of a Kind
4 cards of the same rank

Full House
3 cards of the same rank + two cards of the samerank.

Flush
All 5 cards are of the same suit

Straight
All 5 cards are in sequential order.
Aces can either come before a 2 to start a straight or after a King to end a straight.

3 of a Kind
3 cards of the same rank

2-Pair
2 cards of the same rank + 2 cards of the same rank

Pair (2 of a Kind)
2 cards of the same rank

High Card
If you have no other hand, your highest card is your hand. Forexample: 'high card ace' or 'high card queen'

Kicker
In any hand that does not use all 5 of the player's cards, the highest leftover card is called the 'kicker'. The kicker is used to compare ties. In some cases the kicker may need to include your top two or three leftover cards (this would happen if both players had the same kicker).
The following hand is:
'a pair of 10s with a Jack kicker' or
'apair of 10s with a Jack, Seven kicker'

Ties
In all of the illustrated hand examples given above, the higher hand has been given first.
Straight, Flush, Straight-Flush
The player with the highest rank card wins (an ace acting as a '1' in a straight is considered low).
'2-Pair', 'Pair' , '3 of a Kind', '4 of a Kind'
Compare the matched cards for highest card. If there is still a tie, compare the'kicker' cards.
Full House
The highest set of 3 wins. If both players have the same set of 3, then the highest set of 2 wins.
Completely tied
If both players have the exact same hand, then both players win and the pot is split evenly between them.
Texas Hold'em
Texas Hold'em is the most popular type of poker played in casinos and seen on television.
7 cards
Texas Hold'em is a version of 7-cardpoker. This means that by the end of the round, the player will have 7 cards to choose from to make a 5-card hand. For example, if the user has these cards to choose from:

The following hands could be made:
Heart Flush:

Pair of 7s:

In Zynga's Texas Hold'em Poker, the computer automatically determines your best possible hand, so in this case you would be considered to have the flush.
TexasHold'em rounds
Texas Hold'em is played over 4 rounds. Each round allows players to bet or fold. If no player bets, the next round begins.
Round 1 - Hole cards
Each player is dealt two cards face down. These are called 'Hole cards'. No other players see your hole cards.
After the hole cards are dealt, there is a round of betting. The first round of betting involves 'Blind' bets.
Blind bets
The playerto the left of the dealer is forced to bet the "Small Blind". The next player to the left is forced to bet the "Big Blind". The big blind is double the small blind. The blinds are set by the table rules and appear as two numbers separated by a slash, for example: 5/10 or 500/1000
The dealer changes after every hand, so all players will take turns paying the blind bets.

Betting
Proceedingclockwise, all other players must either match the blind bets ('call'), raise or fold. If someone raises, all players must match the new amount to stay in. If a player folds, they are no longer participating in the hand and may not bet or win. Once all players have had the opportunity to raise or match the current bet amount, the round of betting ends. All bets are moved to the center of the table. Thetotal chips on the table is called the 'pot'.
Uncontested
If at any time, only one player remains in the hand (all others have folded), the hand ends immediately and the remaining player wins the pot.
Round 2 - 'the Flop'
Three cards are dealt face up on the table. These are 'community' cards. Community cards are shared by all players, meaning all players may build their hands from these...
