Rules and tips

Poker hands The following is the best Texas Hold ’Em poker hands, from best (rarest) to worst (most common): Royal Flush (Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, all of the same suit) Straight Flush (a five-card Straight, all of the same suit) Four of a Kind (four of any one card, such as four Kings or four 4s) Full House (Three of a Kind, plus a Pair) Flush (any five cards, all of the same suit) Straight (five cards in consecutive order, such as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) Three of a Kind (three of any one card, such as three jacks or three 3s) Two Pair (two separate Pairs of cards, such as two 9s and two 5s) One Pair (one Pair of cards, such as two aces or two 2s) High Card (If no player has made even one Pair, then the player with the highest hole card wins) Flush, five clubs Rules Players dealt two hole cards Each player is dealt two private cards (called hole or pocket cards), which only they may see. At the beginning of each game, the small and big blind amounts are listed First round: Big and Small Blind One player automatically must pay the big blind (BB) bet. The player to the left of the big blind is forced to post the small blind (SB), which is always half of the big blind. The remaining players can review their hidden hole cards before deciding whether to: Kristin calls. "call" the big blind (bet the same amount and play their hand) or "fold" (bet nothing and sit out the hand). "raise" on any turn. Raising is betting even more than the current wager. Once a raise has been made, all other players must pay the raised amount "call the bet" if they want to continue playing the hand. Second round: three cards "flop" Flop appears on the right side After everyone at the table has had a turn, three cards are dealt face up on the middle of the table. This is called the "flop." These cards dealt to the center of the table are community cards and all players can use them. The idea is to combine the central cards with your two secret hole cards to form the best five-card poker hand. A round of betting follows the flop, in which each player may decide whether to check (take no action) or bet (raise the money). If all players check, no additional money is required. Community card "turn" One more card added to the community cards, in this case a queen of hearts One more community card is flipped onto the table next to the other three, this is called the "turn." If any player bets, all other players must either call the bet to continue playing, or a player can raise the bet, placing even more money into the pot and forcing the initial better to call. The third option is to fold, forfeiting any money you have placed into the pot thus far and giving up on the hand. Community card "river" and reveal cards "River" card added to the four, in this photo the three of clubs After the turn, the fifth and final card is dealt and added to the first four. This is called the "river." A final round of betting follows afterward, all players who are still in the game must reveal their private hole cards, thereby showing their entire hand. The player whose hole cards help them create the best five-card poker hand wins, collecting all money in the main pot. Side pot It is also possible to have a "side pot" in poker. This happens when one player bets all of their stack of chips, while other players with larger stacks carry on betting. Tips Fold if you have a weak hand: If you are dealt weak hole cards, such as a 4-8 off suit (unsuited), don’t hesitate to fold. Your rivals can eliminate each another without your help; you do not need to play every hand. The worst starting hand is the 7-2 off suit, because the value of both cards is low and you have little chance of making a Flush or Straight. High Hands Are Rare: It is not very often that someone makes a Straight or Flush in a four-handed poker game—the odds are quite high against it. If you’ve made Two Pair or Three of a Kind, feel confident that you have drawn the best hand, and play the hand aggressively. Call the big blind: If you have been forced to post the small blind, you might as well call the big blind, even if you are not sitting on the greatest hole cards. It is only half the amount of the big bind to call, and you might draw a lucky flop and end up winning a lot. Count cards: Consider the community cards, think of all the hands your rivals could potentially have and watch how they bet. If you have a pretty good hand, such as a "Top Pair" (the highest possible pair), place a small bet and see how your opponents react. If someone raises you, chances are they may have something even better, such as a Two Pair or Three of a Kind. Consider folding unless you are certain they’re bluffing. The kicker card: Being dealt a King is great, but this does not help if the other hole card is weak, like a 3. Even if you have a two pair of kings on the flop, a rival may have done the same, and their other hole card (known as the “kicker”) would likely be greater in this case. Play weak hands like a king and a 6 when it is cheap to buy in, otherwise fold immediately. Entice rivals to bet: Even if you have made a great hand, such as flopping a Two Pair or Three of a Kind, check instead of betting. This can entice your rivals to bet, because they assume that your hand is weak. Call each bet until you reach the river card, then make a bold raise and see if they fall for it. Even if they somehow have you beat, you have risked less money by checking and calling instead of betting and raising. Aggressive at the end: Start playing more aggressively as players are eliminated from the game. Bet with every hand before the flop, this is because players are far more likely to draw weak hole cards than strong ones in Texas Hold ’Em, and betting early will usually entice your rivals to fold.

Rewards

• If Chuck is eliminated and the Underwear clothing item has not been unlocked before then it can be found in Chuck's locker.
• If Chuck eliminates Jack, he will unlock the item Knight Helmet, which is a part of the Knight Armor. This is the only way to acquire this helmet.
  • If any other players succeed in knocking out Jack while Chuck is still in the game, Chuck will still obtain the helmet. Chuck can choose to quit directly after he is knocked out and he will still have the helmet. It will be waiting in the locker, if he is not already wearing it.
• In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record Jack is wearing the Protoman Helmet instead of the Knight Helmet but all the same rules apply.
