EARN MONEY

The origin of poker can be traced back to as early as 1526 in Spain, Italy and France, where players used three cards to play. These cards had combinations such as 'three of a kind', 'flush' and 'pair'. Until the 1700s, games such as 'brag' in England and 'pochen' in Germany also began to gain fame. The modern form of poker is related to the French version of 'poque', played in Louisiana around 1803.

The English-speaking settlers in the territory liked the game and renamed it 'poker', with modern features. Joe Cowell, an English actor, was the first to mention poker in American literature in 1829. From his description, poker appeared to be a game that involved four players with a deck of 20 cards, playing the strongest hand holding five cards. The use of a 52-card deck in poker began in 1871 as it spread to other countries. 

Playing poker for fun or for real money is quite simple. Here are the steps to play poker.

Step 1 – The first step is pre-flop, where the player to the left of the dealer posts a small blind. The dealer will begin dealing cards when the player to the left of the small blind posts a big blind. Players are then dealt two cards face down, and the player to the left of the big blind begins the betting round. In this round, players can fold, call or raise the bet.

Step 2 – The next step is the flop, where three community cards face up are dealt. A player combines these cards with the ones he has to form a winning hand. After dealing the community cards, the player in the small blind starts playing, and if they fold, the person on the left with the remaining cards starts the game.

Step 3 – The third step is the turn, where additional community cards are dealt face up to form four cards, signaling the third round of betting.

Step 4 – The last step, or river, reveals the fifth community card. Players must choose between continuing the confrontation with their hands or folding. After the round, players place their cards on the table, and the one with the strongest poker hand wins

Hold'em poker

Texas Hold'em is the most popular poker variation. This game uses the standard 52-card deck, and players must make a pre-flop bet before playing. The game starts with players being dealt two cards. The dealer will then deal three community cards to the table to determine the winning hand. Before receiving the fourth card, players will bid, pass, or raise based on the third card. Finally, after dealing the fifth card, players will reveal their hands to show the winner.

Omaha poker

Omaha is similar to Texas Hold'em, with the difference that players are dealt four cards in the first round. This game is diverse as players can create multiple hand combinations. The dealer deals three community cards to start the round. Players will continue the game from dealing the fourth card until they receive the fifth card. The fifth card begins the confrontation to determine the winning hand.

Super Hold'em

Super Hold'em is similar to Texas Hold'em. Players must understand the game well before exploring the variations. Players are dealt three cards face up to begin the betting round in this game. Next, players must use a hole card, unlike in Texas Hold'em, which can create a winning hand from community cards.
