Card Draw Rules |
Poker uses a standard pack of playing cards, fifty-two cards (there are some poker games that use more or less depending on the variations such as adding wild cards like jokers). 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 last card depending on the variations you are using, but it is usually the highest). There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs). No suit is greater than another. All poker hands include five cards. The highest hand wins. The use of Wild Cards depends on the variations, wild cards take on whatever rank or suit you want it to take. A wild card can either be a separate card added like a joker or you may specify a certain card in the standard deck to be wild (such as deuces wild).
