| Poker uses a standard pack of playing cards; there are 52 cards. The
card ranking is as follows Ace (the highest), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8,
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (the lowest), Ace (this may also be the lowest card, but
it is usually the highest).
There are four suits. They are: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. No suit
is higher than another is. All poker hands contain five cards, the
highest hand wins.
The use of Wild Cards depends on the variations. A wild card can be a separate
card added like a joker or you may specify a certain card in the standard
deck to be wild like deuces, or whatever else.
The number of cards dealt is dependant on what type of game you are playing.
There is a list of the most popular types of poker on the left along
