Every Poker Players Dream Hand:
The Royal Flush
10-J-Q-K-A of a single suit |
The most popular form of poker played online is Texas Holdem which is extremely easy to learn to play. The basic handrankings are pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, straight flush and royal flush and each player starts with pair of cards which are dealt face down and only viewable to the player. Three more cards are then dealt, the flop, turn and river and the aim of the game is to have the highest ranking poker hand at the end of the hand.
On each turn you have the chance to either bet (raise) or fold, or depending on your table position you also have the option to check - which is the option to stay in the hand without betting or raising. However if you are playing online the software works all this out for you, and you just need to click the corresponding action button.
As well as Texas Holdem, other varieties of poker are played online, such as Omaha, 5 card stud poker, 7 card stud, Badugi and Razz. If you want to learn these forms of poker, most poker rooms offer tutorials and poker lessons, which are ideal for anyone wanting to brush up on their poker skills.
UK poker players often prefer to play poker in pounds rather than US dollars which many poker rooms operate in. The following poker rooms all allow play in pounds and are specially designed for UK poker players.
