Winning and losing with the same hand
・Judge the cards that make up the hand (pair if one pair) In the case of "2 pairs", judge by the pair with the highest rank, and in the case of the same rank, judge by the remaining pair cards.

In the case of a "full house", the ranking of the three cards is used to determine the result

The order of card strength is AKQJ-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2
・If the above does not determine superiority, the judge will be based on the strength of the part other than the hand (kicker).If the kicker also does not determine superiority, it will be considered a draw.


Straight Caution
The numbers in a straight are: AKQJ-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-A
QKA-2-3 does not result in a straight


Precautions while playing
The basic rule is to play fairly, so avoid anything that puts anyone at a disadvantage or is unfair.
To enjoy poker more, conversations related to the cards in your hand are not recommended.
Of course, some players talk as they play as a strategy, but it is a violation for a player who has folded to reveal what their face-down card was.
Also, hiding your chips or cards can lead to cheating.
Enjoy playing while following rules of etiquette, such as not taking your two cards off the table.
