5.) Original games
(AAAA)
Hold'Em (AAAB)
-=-=-=-
Texas Hold'em is the most common poker game. First, you are dealt two
face down cards, also called hole cards. The player to the left of the
person on the big blind button goes first, also known as the person
in first position. The person with the dealer button always goes last
after the flop. After you get your hole cards, there is a betting round.
You can Raise, Call, or Fold. After everyone has invested the same
amount of money into the pot, the first three community cards, also
called the flop, are turned face up in the middle of the table. A
betting round follows this. Then a fourth community card, called the
turn, is turned up, also followed by a round of betting. Then the fifth
and final community card, the river, is turned up, with a final round of
betting after. Then, the remaining people turn up their cards and make
up the best poker hand.
Seven Card Stud (AAAC)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Seven card Stud is another common poker game. You start out the hand
two cards face down and one face up. This is followed by a betting
round. Then, you get another card face up, followed by a betting round.
Two more cards come face up, with a betting round after each. Then, a
final face down card comes, with a betting round following. Then,
players turn up their cards, and the person with the best hand wins.
Five Card draw (AAAD)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Another popular poker game. You get 5 cards face down at the beginning.
After the cards are dealt, a betting round initiates. After the betting
round, a player may discard a maximum of three cards, four if you have
an ace, and get up to 4 new cards. A betting interval follows this, and
then players turn up their cards and the best hand wins.
All those other ones (AAAE)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Super Hold'em- The same thing as Texas Hold'em, except with one extra
hole card.
Double Flop Hold'em- The same thing as Texas Hold'em, but with 10
community cards instead of 5.
Pineapple- The same thing as Texas Hold'em, but you get 3 cards and
discard one of them after the first betting round.
Crazy Pineapple- I don't get why they call it this, but it's the same
thing as pineapple, but you discard the card after the flop.
Tahoe- Same thing as Super Hold'em.
Omaha- Same as Texas hold'em, but with 4 hole cards face down.
Billabong- Same as Omaha, except you can't use more than two commumity
cards, and one of your 4 hole cards are face up.
2-7 Low- Same as five card draw, but you want the WORST poker hand
possible, and aces are the highest card.
Shanghai- Same as Super Hold'em, but the flop is two cards, and so is
the turn. the river is the same as the other hold'em games, one card.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.) Poker Strategy
(BBBB)
Working on this section, waiting for your tips.
*Bluffing is the best way to earn big pots when you know your beat.
*This game doesn't do this too often, but looking at the players may
give you a tell on what they have.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.) Warning
(CCCC)
This is so you are cautious, also waiting for you guys to contribute.
Warning, Virtual loss- Sometimes, when I go all in, and my opponent
calls, and I win, I still lose. I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure if
this will happen to you.
Warning, Bad dressers- The people are supposed to be realistic, right?
Well, it doesn't seem that way. The women look like men, and the men
can't dress at all.
Warning, Stupid players- These people call all in bets with six high,
for God's sake!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.) Definitions
(DDDD)
Here is where you find out how to speak "Poker". Also looking for
contributions.
Fold- Give up your hand and put no more money in the hand.
Call- Put in the exact amount of money that's required to stay in the
hand.
Raise- Put in at least twice what the amount to call is.
Pot- The place where all the money is. (Looking for a better definition)

All-In- A raise where you put all of your remaining chips into the pot.
Betting round- THe time when you can bet.
Coin flip- Two decently matched hands going against each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.) "Special"
Hands (IIII)
This section is all about what hands I think are good as hole cards and
what you should bet.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hold 'Em hands....
Pocket Aces- Just call the Big Blind. There is no hand that can beat
you before the flop. If a draw comes up on the flop, bet big.
Pocket Twos- Bet big. If someone calls you, chances are it'll be a coin
flip.
Ace King- Bet big. If someone calls you, chances are it'll be a coin
flip.
Jack Ten Suited- Bet fairly big. You have nothing right now, but you
have a huge drawing hand.
Seven Deuce Offsuit- Bet big! Then, show them the hand and make them
suffer...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seven Card Stud Hands...
Three Aces- Keep it on the down low. Very few people can get this hand.
Nine Ten Jack suited- The hugest drawing hand, bet big.
Seven Four Deuce Offsuit- Bet Big and make them suffer...
Pocket Queens- Keep it on the down low. Hope you can improve your hand.
Ace King Queen- Call the big blind. It may lok huge, but it's not.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Five Card Draw Hands....
Ace King Queen Jack Nine- Discard everything but the Ace. You have four
cards to make a straight otherwise, and there's little chance of that.
Ace Ace Ace Ace King- ALL IN!!!!!!! Nothing but a straight flush can
beat you!
Two Four Six Eight Ten- Keep the ten and the eight, throw everything
else.
Queen Queen Two Two Seven- Bet big and discard the seven.
King King Two Three Ace- Keep the kings and call the big blind.
