Poker Rules and Inforamtion

How to Play

First, select a table in the lobby by clicking on it, and then open the table window, either by double-clicking on the selected table, or by clicking on the "Go to this table" button in the lobby.

When a table window is open you can simply click on any available seat to sit down. You will then see a character in that seat. Enter the amount of real money/play money that you would like to bring to the table and click on the "OK" button.

Click on the SIT IN button when you want to be dealt in.

Before the very first hand is dealt at a newly started table, you will need to decide who will start as the dealer. This is decided by giving each player a random card face up. The highest card gets to be the dealer.

Poker clients have lots of added features. Additional features and functions are added continously. A few of the features are:

Play at multiple tables. You can be seated and playing at more than one table at the same time.

Raise/Fold tables. The much requested raise/fold table type is available. Look for tables labelled "R/F" in the lobby.

Lobby chat. You can chat with other players in the lobby without being seated. All logged in players can use the lobby chat function.

Ranking of The Hands

1.Royal flush


The highest poker hand. It consists of AKQJT all in the same suit. As all suits are equal, all royal flushes are equal.

2.Straight flush


Five cards of the same suit in sequence, such as 76543 of hearts. The ace can play low to make 5432A, the lowest straight flush.



3.Four of a kind

Four cards of the same rank accompanied by a "kicker", like 44442. Ranked by the quads, so that 44442 beats 3333K.



4.Full house

Three cards of one rank accompanied by two of another, such as 777JJ. Ranked by the trips, so that 44422 beats 333AA.



5.Flush

Five cards of the same suit, such as AJ942 of hearts. Ranked by the top card, and then by the next card, so that AJ942 beats AJ876.



6.Straight


Five cards in sequence, such as 76543. The ace plays either high or low, making AKQJT and 5432A.




7.Three of a kind


Three cards of the same rank and two kickers of different ranks, such as KKK84. Ranked by the trips, so that KKK84 beats QQQAK, but QQQAK beats QQQA7.





8.Two pair
Two cards of one rank, two cards of another rank and a kicker of a third rank, such as KK449. Ranked by the top pair, then the bottom pair and finally the kicker, so that KK449 beats any of QQJJA, KK22Q, and KK445.



9.One pair

Two cards of one rank accompanied by three kickers of different ranks, such as AAK53. Ranked by the pair, followed by each kicker in turn, so that AAK53 beats AAK52.




10.High card


Any hand that does not qualify as one of the better hands above, such as KJ542 of mixed suits. Ranked by the top card, then the second card and so on, as for flushes.

Suits are not used to break ties, nor are cards beyond the fifth; only the best five cards in each hand are used in the comparison. In the case of a tie, the pot is split equally among the winning hands.
