Texas Hold’em poker is a popular public card game played between 2 to 6 players. The game uses a standard deck of 52 cards, with no designated trump suit. Each player is dealt five cards, and the winner is determined by comparing hand rankings.
The cards are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Big King, Little King, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and Ace. The primary hand categories, from strongest to weakest, include:
– Single cards
– Straight
– Pair
– Connected pair (consecutive cards forming a pair)
– Three of a kind
– Three consecutive cards (a run of three cards in sequence)
These classifications help in evaluating and comparing players’ hands to determine the victor.
