			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5147 alignleft" title="More About Chinese Poker" src="http://www.pokerstarsus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/pokerstarsus4.jpg" alt="More About Chinese Poker" width="150" height="150" />Poker is one of the oldest and widely played games. There are different types of poker played in the world like Texas Holdem, Chinese Poker, Omaha, Caribbean Stud poker, etc. The Chinese Poker is one of the popular types of Poker and is the most preferred game played with much enthusiasm. The game is based on some simple fundamental rules, which if mastered can prove to be a great advantage to the player.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chinese Poker is basically a 4 player game played at the table. The players will consent to a particular unit of cash, before the commencement of the game. The game will be played according to the approved unit bet. Unlike the Texas Hold&#8217;em you will not find any gambling, calling or rising. A normal deck consisting of 52 cards will be utilized in a Chinese Poker. Each participant will get 13 cards that mean all the cards are dealt in all the four rounds. The cards are dealt at once in Chinese Poker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The participant organizes his 3 hands that include 2 hands comprising of 5 cards and 1 hand consisting of 3 cards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The back hand (consisting of 5 cards) will be the strongest one, while the middle hand (consisting of 3 cards) will be the next toughest and the front hand (comprising of 3 cards) will be weakest. The cards will then be exposed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The back hands are evaluated pursued by the middle hand and then the front hands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In every hand, the winner will get a unit from the losers of that hand. Suppose If in a hand, a tie prevails, that hand will be considered as a draw, which means no loss or win. However, the players in those hands will collect the bet from the losers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are diverse hands, which can easily sweep away the whole table. A catalog from the toughest to the feeblest, scheduled in the downward order will be followed in the Chinese Poker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dragon:</strong> Single of each rank.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Thirteen cards:</strong> 13 cards belonging to single color</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Twelve cards:</strong> 12 cards belonging to single color</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Six pair</strong> (four of a type can calculate as two pair) three</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Three straights:</strong> straights in the back, in the middle, in the front.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Three flushes:</strong> Suitable cards in the back, in the middle and in the front.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For clean sweep hands, there are some rules for the Chinese poker game.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Suppose if more than one participant has clean sweep hands, then the hand which holds the higher rank succeeds the hands’ complete unit value.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Suppose if the 2 clean sweep hands belong to the identical rankings, a draw is declared and there will be no exchange of money among those participants. However they collect the money from those who lost.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Clean sweeps should be affirmed, if they are not confirmed, they play just like a normal hand. Prior to the show down, a participant might give up his or her hand. The surrendered player’s hand will not be evaluated with the hands of the other players; however the player should compensate every challenger with three units.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5085 alignleft" title="About Four Card Poker" src="http://www.pokerstarsus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pokerstarsus512.jpg" alt="About Four Card Poker" width="150" height="150" />Although the credit for inventing the Four Card Poker goes to Roger Snow, it was Shufflemaster that marketed and popularized the game. Four Card Poker is quite similar to Three Card Poker, the only difference being that four cards are used instead of three. This game does not come with a dealer qualifying hand and the player is allowed to have a three times raise up to his ante. The dealer is in an advanced state with the extra card possession and in case the player folds then the dealer can lose the ante. This is the actual norm of the game. You have to stay bets cautious when playing the game as it comes with several twists and turns.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Four Card Poker the player has a good look at the card and checks with the dealer’s facing up card. The player can easily plan to fold the ante bet. In the process the player can lose the bet or he can even win through the process of betting. In every step the player has to stay conscious and he must be aware of all the moves involved in the main course of gaming. One wrong step can really make him lose the bet and put him out of the game.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the player in the Four Card Poker is able to make a tie or in the process he is able to beat the dealer, he gets the amount which he has initially used at the time of betting. Thus, he is able to win back his investment in the game. It is a matter of sure luck in case the player gets a bonus amount in case he has three of a kind, or he may also have straight flush or he can also come up with four of the kind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the time of playing Four Card Poker you get in hand two additional betting options of anti and aces up. The player who makes the ante bet must decide whether he should raise or fold the cards. In case he folds he forfeits all the bets he has made. In the process the players will discard all the four cards and keep the last one with him. The cards are arranged from the lowest to the highest in a perfect order of high card, and then come the pair and the two pair, and this is followed by the straight and the flush. Next comes the three of the kind and the straight flush along with the four of the kind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The best part of the Four Card Poker depends on the player’s decision in which case the dealer turns over all the cards and makes the best selection of the four cards out of the six. When you decide to continue with the mode of gaming you have to be either one time or three times the ante bet. However, you must always avoid being two times. In case you want to go for the large bet you have to decide your strategy in advance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5034 alignleft" title="High Card: The Best Among All The Poker Games" src="http://www.pokerstarsus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pokerstarsus510.jpg" alt="High Card: The Best Among All The Poker Games" width="150" height="150" />From its birth poker was thought to be a game played among several players but the most enjoyable moment comes when the game is dealt between seven to six people. The reason behind this is poker has a huge lot of versions; High Card is one of them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a standard poker the jokers does not have any role to play in a 52 card pack that is used.  The cards are positioned in the following manner from higher to lower. It is set in the following sequence A,K,Q,J,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Poker is a game meant to bring in more money in ones coffers. However, real money is never put or displayed on the tables and is converted into chips. The chips can have numbers imprinted on them or consist of various colors. The money invested on the bet cannot be increased or decreased during the play. After the game is over the player hands over the chips and get back the currency notes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The High Card should always be played by placing an “ante” bet between three, one or two circles where the players believe that highest card lies in any one of the circles where the game is being played. At first a person called the dealer who distributes three cards placing them face down in between the circles and then comes the role of the dice which is rolled on the table to establish that who will be the picker. By the use of the word picker it is meant that which house will bet first, there after the dealer flips up the cards in between the two groups by placing of lower value among the non house picker and the card that he flips over is called the bust card.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The betting starts by the player with whom the bust card is not lying. The dealer either folds the card and this is called the burning of the card and reveals the action card. If the action card turns up to a heart or a diamond the dealer gets to switch the house and if it is a club or a spade the house will remain the same. If the action card is found to be a joker then all the players who had played the bet on the bust card wins in the sequence 2-1 on the ante bets and rises.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But in case the action card is not a joker then the player who had picked up the High Card wins the game excluding the house 1-1 on the ante and the raiser. If the house gets the chance to pick the High Card then both the player and the ante losses the game.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the end the dealer goes on to check the four cards that are lying face up on the table in the sequence of 1, 2, 3 and the action card to find out who has won the High Card game and distributes the poker bonus payouts among the players.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4982 alignleft" title="Online Poker: Mistakes You Should Avoid" src="http://www.pokerstarsus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pokerstarsus38.jpg" alt="Online Poker: Mistakes You Should Avoid" width="150" height="150" />Online poker games have become very popular simply because people have realized the significance and the comfort of playing the game on the internet. Poker players can now consider playing a game of their choice, whenever they are free. While a player should concentrate on the cards, it is equally important to watch over the happenings on the poker table or what other people are playing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lets us explore some of the mistakes that should be avoided while playing online games:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>There are thousands of websites that offer the online casino games although the software is written by other companies. Before registering with a website, you should try to judge the credibility of the website and try to find out the name of the company who has written the software. Whether you wan to participate in live poker tournaments that are held in the month of May or play the online game, you should be careful about your choice.</li>
<li>It is significant for you to explore a poker website fully, and check the various sections of the website before playing the game.</li>
<li>A majority of the online poker sites are connected with the social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter that will help you to connect with other people who are playing this game or utilizing the same website for playing the game of online poker.</li>
<li>The design of the website goes a long way in deciding the categories of the game that are being offered. For instance, if a website looks incompetent, you must clear your doubts before registering with them.</li>
<li>The major search engines such as Google or Yahoo will offer you with better websites as most of these websites have been researched properly before getting listed in the prominent search engines.</li>
<li>Whether you are playing full house or roulette in an online casino, the credibility of the website should be judged by the number of times you have won or lost in these games. In other words, an average record indicates that the software used by the website is genuine.</li>
<li>Friends or acquaintances can also help you to locate a genuine casino site, but they should be playing the game regularly. Full house is a popular game that is preferred by players.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Strategies For Playing Online Poker</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While poker game is full of excitement for those who love to play this game, it is also enjoyed by the online casino players. If you are playing online poker, you should not overlook the strategies of the game, and the most effective method is to play the game during the time when the site is being visited by other players. Moreover, you should try to play in different tables at the same time although the method should be tried by seasoned players only who can participate in May tournaments. The game of online casino has improved with different reward programs and bonus methods that are particularly offered to the beginners.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">If we have a quick peek at decade that went by, we will see that online poker games have had a successful time. There is a growing popularity and increasing number of websites which provide the online poker games for the players. Earlier, poker was restricted to traditional poker rooms and casinos. But now, the world of poker gaming has changed completely with more players playing online rather than in traditional rooms. Even the number of players who play poker both professionally as well as casually have increased and majority of them prefer to play on internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A huge entry of new poker lovers is been seen since the time Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker in year 2003. If we look a bit deep, we can see that there exist different types of online poker games which are available for playing in various online poker rooms:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>TexasHoldem – it is considered as the best and the most renowned form of online poker gaming. Nearly every poker room today offers this Texas Holdem for the players.</li>
<li>Omaha– It is one of the games which is gaining popularity in the recent times and is one of those games which is played with 4 cards each.</li>
<li>7 Card Stud – this again is one of the classic games of poker and it found on majority of the poker rooms online</li>
<li>Ring Games – These are the games which are even known as cash games and are only played with real cash. Majority of the poker rooms online offer a good number of different stakes for the players who opt for playing these games</li>
<li>5 Card Draw &#8211; it’s one of the rarest kinds which is not available in all the poker rooms but still available in a few.</li>
<li>Multi Table Tournaments (MTT) – these attract a huge numbers of players in the quantity of thousands to play in a single tournament. The way to play in such tournaments is to buy-in in the tournament. And the prize money is generated from the cash everyone pools in as an entry. The players who finish and tops get the prize pool.</li>
<li>Stands for Sit &amp; go tournaments (SNG) – these are kinds of mini tournaments and thus don’t last for a long period. These tournaments have around 9-10 players generally, but in case of exceptions can have 2 and 3 tables with 18 and 27 players on them respectively.</li>
<li>Satellites – these are the kinds of tournaments where the players can start with a very small level and can end up making it big. These are the ones which help the players to get hold of entering into the big tournaments, as it also gives away the tickets for them like WSOP and not cash money. Infact, a majority of poker pros we have today are the ones who won the tickets from Satellites to participate in big tournaments.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here, we have just shared a few of the renowned ones, but there exists more such games available on internet for the players. These are the games which not only give the players the opportunity to get big bucks and name for themselves but also the opportunity to turn into a pro from a beginner level.</p>
