Since first gaining popularity at the beginning of the twentieth century, poker has gone from a game for only the rich and elite to a game played, and watched, the world over. Having garnered a reputation as a game of wit, strategy and skill, and thanks to cinematic influence from iconic movie stars such as James Bond, more and more people are giving poker a try (both at traditional casinos and online). So, how do you play poker? While the concepts that guide poker may be fairly straight forward and the rules easy to understand, there is a lot to be learned about the game in order to truly flourish. That is where we come in. In this guide, we are going to take you through some of the basic concepts that are present in most modern versions of poker. From recognizing good starting hands to placing your first bet and all the way to winning your first hand - we have you covered and will teach you how to play poker. Wait for the big blind (The big blind is the largest forced bet at the beginning of a game designed to stimulate betting. The player who has to contribute the big blind rotates one position to the left after each game.) to get to you before playing. Use this time to watch your opponents, and get a feel for the way they are playing. It's amazing how much some players reveal if you just pay attention.
Most players tip the dealer when they win a pot. This is not required, but if the dealer is doing a competent job, you should tip. Dealers are like waitstaff in that they make most of their money from tips. A sample plan would be to tip the dealer .50 on average size pots and possibly $1.00 on larger pots if the dealer is doing a good job. Also, you can watch what the other players are tipping to get an idea. Remember though that every dollar that goes to the dealer is reducing your winnings. You should be able to come to a happy medium with experience. Act when it's your turn. Never act before your turn. This is very poor etiquette and can change the outcome of a hand. The other players will understandably get upset with you. Make sure your cards are in plain sight. It is a good idea to place a chip on them to show that they are still live and protect them because the dealer won't take them when the chip is on them. If you leave your cards unprotected, the dealer might muck them (mix with discards) by mistake, and there is no way you can retrieve them. Most players keep their hand on their cards. When you win a pot (the total amount of money bet in a single game), don't reach for it. Let the dealer push the pot to you. Do not surrender your cards until the pot has been awarded to you on a winning hand. If you aren't sure whether you have the best hand at the end of a round, turn your cards face up, and let the dealer read the hands. If the dealer makes a mistake, it can often be corrected. If you throw your hand into the discard pile (often called the "muck"), you are not eligible for any of the pot even if you made a mistake and had the best hand. Don't throw your chips into the pot (called "splashing" the pot). Place all bets in front of you, and let the dealer pull them into the pot.
