Poker strategy

Saying about poker, so-called Poker Golden Rules should be mentioned. They are applied to every type of this game:

• 1. You should have enough money for this very table: usually these are 40-50 % of the table`s limit.

• 2. Having no winning combination, do not play further.

• 3. Try to increase the pot if you have good cards in hand.

• 4. Your objective is to become a winner, not to get the best combination.

• 5. Never try to beat the better player. Your winnings will insignificant, the risk to lose more will grow.

• 6. There is a big chance that you won`t be able to make your initial combination better.

• 7. The chances to get the winning combination are the following:

  Combination	Chances (one from:)
  Royal Flush	650, 000
  Straight Flush	72, 200
  Four of a Kind	4, 200
  Full House	700
  Flush	510
  Straight	250
  Three of a Kind	48
  Two Pair	21
  One Pair	2.4
  No Pair	2

  We can conclude the following:
  

  The more players at the table are the more chances that one of them gets a pair or more. In other words, the more players are the better combination you must have to win. If you don`t have a pair, or 4 cards for straight or flush, do not play further. It should be noted, you will have to finish game in the majority of cases. Do not be in despair and good luck.

Possibilities to improve your cards:

Obviously, the better your initial cards are, the more chances you have to get a winning combination. Remember, you have to improve 3 cards for straight or flush. You chances: 1 from 150 and 1 from 23. The pot will hardly ever correspond the risk.

Possibilities to improve 4 cards:
