POKER GAME – PLAY POKER ONLINE INDIA


POKER

The name "Poker" originated from a game similar to modern-day Poker called
“Poque '', which was played in French America in the early 1800s. In the next 20
years, the English-speaking travellers who settled in the Louisiana Territory
started playing the game regularly.

Moreover, they anglicised its name to what we know as Poker and created the
standard features for the game as we know it today. With that covered, let’s
start head-diving into the history of the Poker game.

So, what is Poker after all?

Poker is a skill-based game in which the main objective is to make the best and
the highest five-card hand among all the players. The five-card hand must be in
tune with the universal poker hand rankings to win the hand (round) and the pot
money. Players wager money into the pot through a series of betting as per the
strength of their hand and tactical abilities to win the pot money.

Today a variety of poker games online are played globally and have gained
popularity over the decades. However, since the advent of online poker, a couple
of variations have enjoyed more attention than others.

Texas Hold’em poker, 4 Card Omaha Poker, and 5 Card Omaha Poker are the top
variants played globally, especially in online poker apps.

However, if you had to choose one variation of the game to get the taste, Texas
Hold’em poker games rank the highest in popularity worldwide. It is majorly
popular due to its simple rules.

Moreover, the user-friendly interface makes it easier and allows the software to
display the poker odds to the players. The game begins with just two hole cards;
therefore, the action is decent enough for beginners to wrap their heads around
and catch up with the gameplay.

Omaha poker is the second favourite poker variation in the poker community. As a
result, it is also widely available on online poker platforms and apps.

The Omaha poker rules are similar to the Hold’Em variation except for the
presence of hole cards. In the Omaha variation, four hole cards are dealt
instead of the two in the Hold'Em.

The difference in the number of hole cards affects the gameplay and strategy.
However, both variations of Poker are equally fun.

Other popular versions of the game are- 7 Card Stud, 5 Card Draw, Omaha Hi-Low,
and Razz Poker among others.


HISTORY OF THE POKER GAME

14th Century - An impoverished version of a poker game dates back to the 9th
Century in China. The online poker tournament variation known to us today came
into circulation in France in 1400. ‘Poque’ was a game played with a deck of 52
cards with very similar gameplay to modern poker games.

18th Century - Though Poque remains the closest ancestor, the game acquired its
complete, proper form 400 years later in America. Credits for the finer and more
crucial gameplay go to the Mississippi Delta region as they were added into the
game in this region. Moreover, new poker rules, wagering, raising and bluffing,
were added to the poker game in the mid-1700s.

Therefore, Mississippi could probably be christened as the birthplace of modern
online poker. By the 1800s, every riverboat on the Mississippi was rocking a
poker game. Poker games included Straight and Stud poker and were played with a
52-card deck. People also played a heads-up of the game with 20 cards.




POKER FLOURISHES IN THE 19TH CENTURY

The Gold Rush in California brought gold and the Poker game to the west. The
famed variation of the modern poker game began to seep its way into literature
by the mid-1800s. Additionally, the American Civil War proved fruitful and got
American soldiers to play a game of poker in their camps.



The second half of the 19th century witnessed innovation in variants of poker
games online to make the game more exciting. Flush and straight hands became
part of the game in 1850.

Moreover, the game witnessed other experiments, like lowball versions and
community cards. However, the concept of community cards hung around. It was
seen being used in a game of Texas Hold’em Poker in 1925.


POKER OCCUPIES CENTER STAGE IN 20TH CENTURY

1970s - The stigma associated with the game began to change. In 1970, Benny
Binion invited the country’s seven best poker players to compete at his casino
in Las Vegas. The competition became the World Series of Poker (WSOP), a legacy
that stands tall in the poker world even today!

Though it was the WSOP’s unofficial first, Doyle Brunson and Amarillo Slim
played cash games and became the first world poker champions. Furthermore, it
was the first time that the faster poker game variation of Texas Hold’em became
the preferred game style. The decision to play Hold’em set it on track to become
the most popular poker variant of all globally.

1980s - The 1980s saw the game catapult into its first ‘poker boom’ when the
State of California legalised the poker game. As a result, online Poker rooms
mushroomed in Los Angeles.

1995 - An invention by Henry Orenstein was about to change the game forever. A
video camera that could be mounted on a poker table to view each player’s hole
cards discreetly opened up this game to broadcast channels. As a result, live
poker games became a spectator sport and quickly got television producers
standing in line.

1998 - On January 1st, 1998, the first hand was dealt on the poker site, Planet
Poker. With the advancement of technology, it was no doubt the popularity of
online poker games would soar.


POKER BECOMES THE GLOBAL SPORT IN THE 21ST CENTURY

2003 - It was 2003, and accountant Chris Moneymaker recorded glory in the game.
A satellite through an online poker site that cost him $86 went on to make him
$2,550,000 in the World Series Main Event! He brought alive the dream of the
game. As a result, millions today try their poker hands at small-stakes
satellites in online poker games and tournaments, hoping to score their first
hefty million!


POKER GAMEPLAY

The most common and popular poker game involves community poker games. This
poker format is featured in all major tournaments and championship events
worldwide as well as on online poker platforms.

A Poker game is played with a 52-card deck and a set of poker chips through a
series of four wagering rounds. During these rounds, players bet chips into the
pot as per the strength of their hands.

Do know that all poker games are based on the universal poker hand rankings that
rank from the highest to the lowest, the highest being the Royal Flush and the
lowest, High Card.

The game is best played among 4-9 players. Every Poker game involves a Dealer
who deals the hole cards to the players and the community cards at the table in
different game rounds.

So, here’s the gameplay of the most popular variation of Poker online, Texas
Hold’em. We can’t resist but say this. While Poker online free games are an
excellent choice for beginners to get a grasp of the game, the actual thrill of
Poker can be realised when you play for real money.


POKER GAME OBJECTIVE

Whether you choose free poker online games or cash tournaments, the goal remains
the same. The game objective is to make the best five-card hand and win the pot
money. Each hand dictates a new series of betting rounds and players take turns
acting according to the strength of their hands.

Pro Tip: It is worth noting how a player chooses to play his hand even if it's
weaker than his opponent. A good poker player knows how to deceive their
opponents into thinking they got a better hand and convince them to give up
their claim on the pot money.


BLINDS

Back to the gameplay. Before the beginning of each hand in play, the two players
seated on the immediate left of the dealer must place mandatory amounts of bets
called the small blind and the Big blind, in respective order to kickstart the
wagering process.


HOLE CARDS

The dealer then distributes two hole cards (face down) to each player on the
table. No player is allowed to show their hole cards to another player.


PRE-FLOP

Once the cards are dealt and the blinds placed, the remaining players on the
table can choose to take either of the four actions depending on their hand
strength and game strategy.

These actions are as follows-

Call

To call in poker is to match the bet made by the previous player. In the
pre-flop stage, the player places the bet equal to the big blind. After this
round, if someone makes a bet, you must match the bet by calling his bet.

Fold

When you play poker online, to fold is to give up your stakes in the current
hand in play and leave the hand.

Raise

To raise is to increase the wages in a poker game. Players usually raise when
they think they have a strong hand and wish to make more money or to intimidate
their opponents and make them fold. Those who wish to stay and play further must
match the raise.

Check

To check is to pass the action to the next player without making any further
wagers. It is only available when the player before you has not made any bets
and checked his turn as well.


FLOP

Once all the players present during the pre-flop have placed the wagers, the
Dealer then deals three community cards at the centre of the table, face-up for
everyone to see. The flop is the second round of wagering in which players
continue to place bets. Those who wish to give up their hand, fold; while the
remaining players continue to play.


TURN

The turn is the 3rd round in poker games, where the 4th community card is
revealed. The active players continue to bet further as per the same wagering
rules and actions.


RIVER

The River is the 4th and last betting round, where the final community card is
placed face-up on the table for the players. Players may check, call, raise or
fold as per the final hand strength. No more cards are dealt beyond this round.


SHOWDOWN

When you play poker online, this is the end stage of the hand wherein the action
is complete and all remaining players, who are still in the round, reveal their
hole cards. A player with the highest five-card hand wins and gets the pot
money.


TYPES OF POKER GAMES

As the Poker game has travelled far and wide, it is only natural that it has
spawned into different variants. Nonetheless, the underlying basic pattern of
the game and the universal hand rankings remains the same. If we were to group
them into distinct gameplay formats, we would get the following types of Poker
games.


STUD POKER

In this poker game variation, the dealer deals the cards in a pre-determined
combination of face-up and face-down cards, also known as streets. This follows
betting rounds for each street. After Straight poker, Stud Poker is the second
oldest format in poker history, as the game developed from three to five-card
poker hands.

Seven Card Stud poker is the most popular game of this kind. In this variant,
two extra cards are dealt to all players, four of them face up and three faces
down. Using them, they must make the best five-card poker hand.


DRAW POKER

In Draw Poker games, the dealer deals full hand to each player before the
betting rounds begin. Then, as the game proceeds, players can draw new poker
cards from the deck and replace them to make a higher and better hand. This
family of poker games include Five Card Draw and Triple Draw Lowball.


COMMUNITY CARD POKER

In this variant, the dealer distributes a mix of face-down and face-up cards to
each player combining which they must form the best five-card poker hand. Texas
Hold’em and 4-Card Omaha are the two most popular variations of community poker
games.


MIXED POKER GAMES

Mixed poker games consist of different formats combined in a single game.
Players decide to play a certain variant for a fixed number of hands before
switching to another variant and so on. The most common form of mixed poker game
is HORSE Poker. This variant includes the following games in this order:
Hold’em, Omaha hi-low, Razz Poker, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Eight or better.


VARIATIONS OF POKER

We just discussed the type of Poker games, and now comes the different
variations of Poker games featured under these types. While there are too many
poker game variations, we’ll stick to the ones that rank high in popularity in
both live poker houses and online poker platforms.


NO LIMIT TEXAS HOLD’EM

Texas Hold’em is perhaps the simplest of all variations to learn. Moreover, it
features in the most prestigious poker tournaments, such as the WSOP and WPT.

Perfect for beginners, players are given two hold cards before the betting
round. They must combine their two hole cards with three community cards at the
table to make the best five-card hand. Furthermore, players can go All-in with
their chips in a single action in this variant, hence, the name No-Limit.


4 AND 5 CARD OMAHA

Both 4-Card Omaha and 5- Card Omaha follow similar poker rules , such as the
type of rounds and hand rankings, except for two unique rules. Firstly, you get
4 or 5-hole cards, depending on the variation you play, instead of two like in
Hold’em.

Secondly, you can bet a maximum number of chips equal to the pot money at the
time, hence the name. Due to the difference in the number of hole cards, this
poker variation induces a lot more action when compared to Hold’em.


SEVEN CARD STUD

Seven Card Stud was the king of all Poker variations until Texas Hold’em was
born. There is no concept of the flop or community cards here. In this
variation, the dealer deals two hole cards to each player and one face-up card
on the table before the betting round begins.

After the first round, the dealer deals three more face-up cards and one hole
card. After the dealer distributes the cards, another betting round takes place.

All players reveal their cards after the final betting round, and the best
five-card poker hand out of these seven cards wins the pot.


FIVE CARD DRAW

Five Card Draw follows the same objective as others, which is to make the best
five-card hand. However, in this online poker variation, players are dealt five
cards at once post which the 1st round of betting takes place. After you place
your wagers in this round, you can exchange up to three different cards with
another player and proceed to the second and final round of betting.

Following the final round of betting, the showdown occurs, and the cards are
revealed. The player with the highest poker hand wins. Unlike the rest of the
variations, Five Card draw Poker games are pretty straightforward with only a
little room for applying strategy.


CHICAGO HIGH

It is a close cousin of Seven Card Stud with one exception. This variant follows
the Seven card rules regarding the nature and number of cards and the betting
rounds that take place. It's the way the end is determined that changes the
outcome of the game.

When players reveal their hands at Showdown, the player with the best hand wins
half the pot. On top of it, the player with the highest hole card of Spades wins
the other half.


CHICAGO LOW

As the name says, Chicago Lo is the opposite of the former. In this variant, the
player with the best hand wins half the pot after all the rounds are played. The
remaining half goes to the player having the lowest hole card of Spades.

Any face-up card of Spades plays no role in the outcome of the Chicago
variation. Also, if none of the players has any hole card of Spades, the player
with the strongest hands wins the entire pot.

WHY PLAY POKER ONLINE?

The question of What is Poker has been resolved. You now know the game in terms
of gameplay, the betting rounds, core rules, variations and winning criteria.
The question that remains is, why should you make time and play poker online? Is
there anything you can gain beyond the fun?

Truth be told, there are many life skills to gain from playing poker online.
Professional poker players treat poker as a subject rather than a game and
incorporate the lessons they learn into other core aspects of life.

Poker is a multi-dimensional game that teaches the interested player multiple
real-life skills. The player can apply these skills in their business
endeavours, the passions and hobbies they follow, and daily interactions and
improve their overall quality of life.

So, let's break the ‘oh so many perks’ you gain when you play poker online
regularly.


CREATES NEW NEURAL PATHWAYS

Choosing to play online poker activates the brain and forges new neural
pathways. Playing poker games online rewires your brain by creating myelin, a
mixture of proteins that shields your brain from making impulsive decisions.

Playing this mind game helps to keep your emotions in check. It also enables you
to make quick decisions that boost your cognitive thinking skills, leading to
superior brain activity and healthy performance.


POKER ENHANCES YOUR MATH & MONEY MANAGEMENT

To be an incredible poker player, you will have to learn maths eventually. By
maths, we are not talking about solving complicated algebra. It's calculating
the basic poker probability, such as pot odds, implied odds and pot equity. You
need to know them if you want to make informed moves rather than placing your
bets blindly and risk losing all your money.

It will also help you learn how much money you should play with according to
your current bankroll. The more you play poker games online, you develop these
skills and eventually carry them at your fingertips. With that said, there is no
need to explain further how crucial a skill such as money management is.


POKER TEACHES DISCIPLINE

Discipline is hard to sustain in all walks of life. Poker teaches you how to
master this crucial life skill. When you play poker online, every move you make
in the game demands discipline.

From game selection to table selection to in-the-moment strategizing to sizing
your bets all the way to maintaining your calm when caught in a spot, successful
players exercise high levels of discipline.

When you play poker games online every day, the discipline you apply in your
game shall automatically reflect in your daily endeavours. Furthermore, playing
poker online rewards you with this positive habit that you won’t need separate
willpower or mental energy to exercise otherwise. It slowly bridges the gap
between the persona you carry on the table and off it.


GAIN INSIGHT INTO HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY

Playing poker smartly requires you to observe your opponent’s moves and
reactions acutely. Only by understanding the behaviour of your opponents can you
figure out their strategy and beat them in their own game.

Moreover, when you play poker, you learn to adapt to different situations,
monitor your behaviour in tune with your opponents and learn to react in a way
that doesn’t show disrespect.

If you play poker passionately and regularly, you can easily assess the tables
filled with different variety of new opponents every day. It allows you to read
your opponents thoroughly and peep into their psyche, a skill you could apply in
your daily interactions to work in your favour.


ACQUIRE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional maturity is a critical skill you develop naturally, over time, during
poker games. You make mistakes when you feel under pressure, grasp what it costs
you and choose wisely to avoid repeating them.

You realise holding on to your emotions and letting them dictate your future
decisions is a recipe for disaster. True, some learn it the hard way, but just
like poker, life has its flip sides and accepting them and moving forward is key
to success in poker and life itself.


THERE’S NEVER A DULL MOMENT

Successful players use this thrilling game of skill as a tool to keep those
neurons busy and challenged at all times. If you combine all the skills we just
talked about, you welcome a new and improved version of yourself.

Your brain develops a variety of skills, from acquiring mathematical prowess,
emotional maturity and discipline to understanding human psychology better, into
a powerhouse packed with an arsenal of mental weapons that you are ready to fire
when the situation demands.
