Poker

3 pairs It is not possible to have 3 pairs when only a five card hand counts in poker.

When you feel you have the best starting hand.

raising in poker is about knowing your opponent and how he perceives you. Remember, the most strength in poker comes from acting last. If your opponent is weak, you can use this information to raise the pot and get him to back down. But if you are first to act, then you need a stronger hand to raise him because you dont yet know how he is going to react. If he re-raises you, you are going to find yourself in a difficult spot.

I'm not sure what you mean about the dealer getting the cards.

So, a quick lesson in Blackjack. When the dealer and the player both have hands that have the same value it is called a push, no win, no loss. There is no such thing as a tie-breaker. The dealer must stand on a 17 or better and hit on a 16 or under, no exceptions. As for the dealer getting the cards, the dealer gets all the cards, the dealer has control of the cards at all times.

In any high-low game, the pot is split. Just sometimes one person "scoops" both high and low and is effectively given half the pot for their high hand and half for their low hand.

In the situation you describe, each player takes half the pot.

It is based on when it is exposed.

# As soon as a card is exposed it is announced to all the players and the exposed card will be used as the first burn card.

# If either of the first two cards dealt are exposed due to dealer error the cards are retrieved, the decks changed, and re-dealt.

# If a single card is exposed, anywhere but the "dealer button" position, on the initial deal, the dealer keeps going. Once two cards are dealt to all the players, the exposed card is retrieved and replaced with the top card of the deck. The exposed card is then placed in the muck.

# If either of the "dealer button" position cards are exposed the dealer keeps going, after all the players have received two cards, the exposed card is retrieved, the deck is placed face down on the table, the deck is cut in at least 9 cards, the "dealer button" position gets the next card. The exposed card goes into the muck.

I would recommend Carbon Poker. They offer a very good deal. They give 45% Cashback daily on your rake. They also have a Huge Sign-up bonus of 200% up till $5,000. They accept US based players. You can deposit using Visa or Master Card through Neteller and other payment methods.

I have been playing there since 2006 and the thing I like most is that the players at the lower limits don't play like fools going all in all the time because they don't care about the money. This makes it much more enjoyable even at the micro stakes. They also have a lot of traffic so there is always someone to play with no matter what time of day. Use the link below to get the sign up bonus.

No,

Only three combinations can beat a Four of a kind

A higher four of a kind (example : KKKK Vs QQQQ)

Four aces being the highest FoK possible.

Any FoK will be beaten by

A straight flush (5 suited card in a row)

The Royal Flush (which is a Ace high Straight Flush) is the unbeatable hand.

Yes, 5-Of-A-Kind beats a flush. Its the strongest hand you can have in poker when playing with wild cards. The only hand that can beat a 5-Of-A-Kind is a higher 5-Of-A-Kind. (Example: 5 Queens will win against 5 Tens.)
