The rules of poker are simple, but they can be confusing for beginners. The basic rules are as follows:
– You must have a card up to the number of bets you are making.
– You must place a bet before you draw a card.
– You must keep your cards face down until you are required to show them.
– You cannot change your mind about what card you have been given to look at.
– The rank of a card is irrelevant – the suit is what counts.
– A “pair” is two cards of the same rank, such as two 2s or two Kings. A “flush” is five cards of the same suit, such as five 2s or five Kings.
– A “full house” is three cards of the same rank and two cards of the same suit, such as three 2s and two 3s.
