Learn the rank of hands more. Study them and you will start to see them.

Open a play money account and play for free. Pokerstars is a good site. The more hands you see, the more you will learn and the easier it gets.

Use a deck by your self and deal out 7 hands face up so you can see all the cards. Then do flop turn and river. And after each one analyze each hand and figure out what each person would have at that time, and what cards would help them out to make a better hand.

Always pay attention. Even if youve folded and aren’t part of a hand, always watch other people. See what hands they could be going for if on a draw. Or what they might have based on whats on the board.

Watch Poker on TV alot. Its everywhere. They show you their hands. Look for what hand they have at the time and listen to the anouncers because they tell you.

In time the more hands you see, the easier it will be. (hey, that rhymed, sweet.) So however possible just see as many hands as possible. And play as much as possible.

Whenever I play poker I print out a cheat sheet. I’ve linked it below.

admin answers:

There are 52 cards to choose from, and 5 cards to choose, so the number of ways is 52C5 = 2598960.

If you aren’t familiar with the notation, 52C5 is read „52 choose 5“ and is defined as:

nCr = n! / [ r! (n – r)! ]

Most scientific and graphing calculators have an nCr button.

1) flush 0.2 %
2) carré 0.024 %
3) 2.113 %

Explanation

1) 1 * (12/51) * (11/50) * (10/49) * (9/48)
2) C(5,4) 1 * (3/51) * (2/50) * (1/49) * (48/48)
= 5 * 1 * … = 0.00024 = 0.024 %
3) C(5,3) * 1 * (3/51) * (2/50) * (48/49) * (44/48)
= 0.02113 = 2.113 %
( C(5,3) = 5!/3!2! = 10 )
and n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*…*3*2*1 (factorials)
so 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120

Explanation. If you place the obtained combination
in front in order of your hand then the first card doesn’t
matter so probability 1, for the first card. Then you
have to express that the second card is of the same suit
for a flush or rank for (3/4) of a kind. For flush there are
12 cards left of the same suit. For (3/4) of a kind 3 cards
of the same rank. You continue….
After that you multiply by the combinations of the possible
placements of those poker-combinations in your hand.
E.g. Carré. The 5th card that doesn’t belong to the carré
can be first, second, … 5 possible combinations here.
For three of a kind C(5,3) = 5*4/2 = 10 possible placements of the two cards not belonging to the three of a kind.
Multiplying all odds gives the result. Good luck !
