Guide on how to play poker!

Hello everyone. I am Jessica N and I am showing you how to play Texas Holdem poker!

Texas Holdem Poker Key Terms

1. Bluff - A bluff is when you try to get someone to think you have a great hand but you really have nothing good at all.

2. Call - When you "Call" someone it means you bet what the other person bet before you did.

3. Raise - When you "Raise" it means that you raise what has already been betted.

4. Check - If you check it means you have nothing yet, but are looking to build something. NOTE: You can only check if no one bets.

5. Fold- If you have a shitty hand, you fold and wait until the next round of cards come out.

6. All In - All In is when you bet all your chips that you have something great or terrible.

7. Cashing Out - Cashing Out is when you are done playing and you collect your money that you have either won or have left.

8. Small Blind - A bet that you have to put out so you don't fold right away. Rotates around the table clockwise.

9. Big Blind - Double the amount of the Small blind. Rotates around the table clockwise.

Poker Hands from BEST TO WORST




Step 1: Look at the 2 cards the dealer gives to you, but don't show/tell anyone them.



Step 2: Check to see if you have anything good. Good = A pair, cards that go in sequence, the same suit.



Step 3: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.



Step 4: The dealer adds three cards which is called the "Flop".



Step 5: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.



Step 6: The dealer adds another card called the "Turn".



Step 7: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.



Step 8: The dealer adds another card called the "River".



Step 9: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.



Step 10: If other players continue to stay in the hand, you show your hands and see who has the best hand and who wins the pot.



Step 11: You start all over until you "Cash-Out" or win everyone's money or lose all your money.


Please tell me what I can add to make this guide better.

Hope this helped,

Nice guide! 10/10 That helps out some people. I always thought it was straight was better than flush o_o

 

wow, you know nothing about poker

you would check either way even if you did have a shitty hand
you also wouldnt stay in if you had a 2 & 3 not suited, its about the same as getting a 6 and 10 not suited
you probably have more uncorrect information, but i had to stop before i vomitted


also, youre a guy

EDIT: i was scrolling back up and i saw you said: "you can raise if you have a REALLY good hand"
have you ever heard of being aggresive?? no you probably havent, you probably just went on fulltiltpoker.com and read the beginners manual

 

Actually no. Play me in poker and lets see who wins. And STOP FLAMING ME saying I'm a guy. I'M NOT!

EDIT: It's a guide for beginners not pros.

 

This is a good guide for beginners, nice use of pictures and detail. Well done, 8/10.

 

Thank you

 

Agreed, and Jessica if anyone is flaming you just tell me I'll take care of them.

This is useful for starters, I'm always playing myspace poker like an idiot and I have no clue what to do. Thanks. 9/10.

 

You forgot blinds and its very and again very basic 7/10

Jesus whats up with you moct this is all you do judge guides which you don't have a clue about and yet flame when your in the wrong.

Who always plays a game when they can't play it properly, its like playing CSS but not having a clue on how to kill people also stop sucking up to jessica there's no proof if she/he's a man or woman until she/he proves it

don't bother posting back (PM me)
