BASIC
POKER GAME RULES:
The rules of poker card game vary according to the many variations of
the game, but in every game of poker players wager on
the strength of the cards they hold.
In a basic poker game, players bet their money into a communal "pot"
consisting of all participating poker players' combined wagers. In a
typical game of poker, these wagers (pot) are awarded to the poker
player who either holds the highest ranking poker hand or makes a wager
which goes
unmatched by his or her opponents.
The most popular of all poker card games is "Texas Holdem" which is
played as a high hand game. Seven Card Stud poker and Omaha poker card
games are played in both "high-only" and "high-low split" form. In
these high-low poker
card games, the best five-card poker hand for high wins half the pot,
and the best qualifying five-card poker hand for low wins the other
half.
These poker card games are also available in One on One games
as well as short-handed 5 or 6 player games.
There is common poker game rule: every card game
begins with some forced wager over which players
compete. In Seven Card Stud poker card game, the rules prompt two
forced wagers: an ante and a bring-in. In Texas Holdem poker and Omaha
poker
games, the forced wagers are a small blind and a big blind.

double-clicking on the selected

in the lobby. When a table window is open you can simply click on any
available seat to sit down. You will
then see a character in that seat. Enter the amount of poker real
money/play money that you would like to bring to the poker table and
click on the "OK" button. Click on the SIT IN button
when you want to be dealt in. Before the very first poker hand
