How to Play Poker | 10 Basic Poker Strategies EVERY Beginner Should Learn

Want to learn how to play poker?
Poker is a game of skill, strategy, and psychology. To play any version of 5-card poker, you first need to master the 10 winning hands, ranked from lowest to highest:

1. High Card

2. One Pair

3. Two Pair

4. Three of a Kind

5. Straight (five cards in sequence)

6. Flush (five cards of the same suit)

7. Full House (three of a kind + one pair)

8. Four of a Kind

9. Straight Flush (five sequential cards of the same suit)

10. Royal Flush (10, J, Q, K, A of the same suit)

If two players have the same type of hand, the highest card decides the winner.

The most popular poker variant is Texas Hold’Em. The game starts with a small “ante” bet, after which each player receives two private cards. Then the dealer reveals:

Flop (3 community cards)

Turn (1 card)

River (final card)

At every stage of Texas Hold’Em, players can fold, check, or raise. After the river, each player has seven total cards (two private + five community). The goal is to create the best 5-card hand possible.

Texas Hold’Em is more than just luck — it’s about reading your opponents, planning strategies after the flop, and knowing when to bluff or call. Mastering these rules gives you a strong foundation to develop your own winning strategy.
