The king of hearts is the only king without a what on a standard playing card?
The King of Diamonds is the only card that faces completely to the right, so it doesn't have two eyes.
No. In poker all hand combinations are formed from 5 cards, even pairs(other 3 cards that form the hand are kickers). So if you only have 4 cards of the same suit and no other legitimate hand, the 3 of a kind would win.
However, poker is a game with many variations and different "special" rules and I remember reading about a game that actually allowed 4 card flushes(I think it was ranked just above 3 of a kind), but this is very very very unorthodox and you won't find it in online card rooms and I would be surprised to find it in any casino.

Does a pair of pocket aces beat pairs of 10's and 9's in Texas hold 'em?
Yes.
If you have a pair of aces, that's equal to 11 points each. That's 22 points. 9 add 9 is 18, plus 20 (10 add 10) is 38 points. The player with the 9's and 10's would win the pot. In other words, two pairs beat one pair, no matter the cards involved.

What is the odds of getting dealt a pocket pair in Texas Hold'em?
It is 1 in 17. Here's why:
There are 52 cards in a deck, 13 different value cards (A, 2, 3, etc.), and two cards are dealt. We're finding the odds of getting any pocket pair, not just one. This means that the first card dealt can be any value. The second card has to repeat the value of the first card. For example, the first card dealt is a 10, and now the second card has to be a 10. After the first 10 is dealt, there are 51 cards left in the deck, and 3 different 10's. Therefore, 3 over 51 simplifies to 1 over 17.

Where can somebody play high stakes poker?
If you don't know how to play or worse, if you think you know how to play, then you should start by reading the excellent instructional books published by "2 plus 2" publishing. Then start playing in casinos . If you're too far from casinos with poker rooms then find some friendly private games. Under no circumstances should you deposit one red cent into any on-line poker sites. Although David Sklansky is an expert poker player who writes some of the best instructional poker books around, he should not be believed when he says that on-line poker sites are a safe place to play real poker. They are not. All of the big name poker players who endorse on-line poker sites make more money from lending their names to these sites than they ever did from actually playing poker. On-line poker offers " an exciting "poker like" playing experience. It is not real poker. It is a carnival ride that seems like poker but is actually fixed so that after a wild ride of several weeks or months, a server controled "bot" player will siphon off all of your money. Dont be a sucker. Play live ONLY. Or be prepared to lose all of your money.

^....I've heard this before....^
The only way to consistenly win is to play against an entire table of people who don't understand the advantage points. When more people at the table know the advantage points the odds for winning become less and less.
In the casino it is all luck and the odds are against you, and just about everyone playing understands the advantage points. Reason being that; the pot can never be worth the risk due to the rake and other sorts of bonus takes. It doesn't matter if you can read the other person or not cause you can't control the next card which changes the entire universe of the hands in play.(thus making your read usless)
In a house game (with everyone knowing the advantage points), it is all luck with even odds.
Another way to consistanly win is to get good at cheating.
Answer:
All depend on the player. For professional players it's the game of luck, but how about new player :)...hard to say...
