In poker, players form sets of five playing cards, called hands, according to the rules of the game. Each hand has a rank, which is compared against the ranks of other hands participating in the showdown to decide who wins the pot. The Basic Rules of Poker (Texas Hold’em) By Tim Ryerson. Tim is from London, England and has been playing poker since the late 1990’s. He is the ‘Editor-in. Here we are going to simplify poker rules and explain to you the basic rules and how they vary across different formats of poker games. Types of Poker Games There are literally hundreds of variants of poker games, most of them are hardly played and the list can probably be cut down to less than 10 games that are regularly played today, the most. Standard poker rules apply (e.g., full house beats flush, etc.), but big hands are difficult to come. High pairs and 2 pairs often take pots in 7 Card Stud. 2 Acknowledge the strength of your starting hand.

Pok Deng (Thai: ป๊อกเด้ง) is a Thai gamblingcard game in which players aim for a hand whose ones digit beats the dealer's, while taking into account pairs, three of a kinds, and flushes. The game is also known as Pok Kao (Thai: ป๊อกเก้า, kao means 'nine') or Pok Paet Pok Kao (Thai: ป๊อกแปดป๊อกเก้า, paet means 'eight') due to eights and nines being high, desirable values.

Basic steps of play[edit]

The players place their bets.
The dealer shuffles and deals two cards to each player, ending with the dealer.
Each player may stay or draw one card.
The dealer may compare his or her hand against select players.
The dealer may draw a card.
The dealer compares his or her hand against the rest of the players.

Setup[edit]

Pok Deng supports two to seventeen players, including the dealer, but is recommended for three to nine players. To begin, players designate a dealer. One person may remain the dealer for several rounds or players can agree to switch off being dealer.

Each game is fairly short, lasting several seconds to a couple of minutes. Each player, except the dealer, places a bet using cash, chips, or small objects like wrapped candy and places that bet on the table in front of himself or herself. Each player plays versus the dealer only and is not competing with fellow players. The dealer shuffles a standard 52-card deck of playing cards; determines whether to go clockwise or counterclockwise; and deals two cards face down, one at a time, to each player, ending on himself or herself. The remaining cards become the draw pile.

Playing[edit]

Play goes in the same order that the cards were dealt. During a player's turn, that person has the option of drawing a card (hitting) or not (staying). A player may only draw one card from the top of the draw pile, meaning each player ends up with only two or three cards per game. (Because each player can have up to three cards, seventeen is the maximum number of players before cards would run out.)

If the player's starting hand of two cards has a taem (described below) of eight or nine, that person has pok (Thai: ป๊อก Napoleons casino poker hull slot machine. ) announces it, and immediately shows those cards face-up. This is a good hand, and the player may not draw a card.

The dealer takes his or her turn last. If the dealer has pok, those cards are turned face-up and all players' hands are compared to the dealer's. If the dealer does not have pok, before deciding to draw a card, the dealer may reveal select players' hands and compare them to his or her own and make the payouts. Then the dealer may draw a card and then compare the rest of the players' hands to his or her own.

Card values[edit]

Three aspects of a player's hand determine the scoring: (1) the hand type, (2) taem, which is the numerical value, and (3) deng, which is a special aspect that may multiply the bet.

The hand's numerical score, taem (Thai: แต้ม), is determined by the numerical values of the cards in hand. In terms of each card's numerical values, each ace has a value of one. 2 through 9 have corresponding values of two through nine. 10, jack, queen, and king each have a value of zero or ten. Taem, the numerical value of the overall hand, is simply the ones digit of the sum of the cards, which is why it does not matter whether the 10, jack, queen, and king count as zero or ten. For example, a hand consisting of a 3 and a 2 has a value of five taem. Likewise, a hand consisting of a 7 and an 8 has a value of five taem because the sum, fifteen, has a one's digit of five. A hand with a jack and a 5 also has a value of five taem because the sum, either five or fifteen, has a one's digit of five.

The bet multiplier, deng (Thai: เด้ง), is determined by the relationship among the cards in hand:

Song deng: If a player has only two cards in hand, and both those cards share the same suit (flush), number or letter (pair), they have song deng (Thai: สองเด้ง, song means 'two'). A player with both pok and deng has pok deng (Thai: ป๊อกเด้ง). The payout of a winning song deng hand may be up to two times the original betting amount.
Sam deng: If a player has three cards, and all three cards share the same suit (flush), they have sam deng (Thai: สามเด้ง, sam means 'three'). The payout of a winning sam deng hand may be up to three times the original betting amount. A variation of the game also allows three cards that are a straight to be considered sam deng. A straight goes in the order 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A and does not wrap around from Ace to Two or vice versa.
Others: By default, a hand that doesn't exhibit any special properties has one deng. The hand types sam lueang and tong have three and five deng, respectively, as described below. Pok may have one or two deng. A normal hand may have one to three deng.

The hand type may be one of four types, in order of decreasing rank:

Pok: If a player's starting hand of two cards has a numerical value of eight or nine, that person has pok, announces it, and immediately shows those cards face-up. This is a better hand than any other non-pok.
Tong: If a player has three cards in hand and they are all the same number or letter (three of a kind), that person has a three of a kind, called tong (Thai: ตอง). This hand beats sam lueang and has a deng of five.
