Fencer: thanks in advance :)

Fencer: from which 7 were won with a royal flush

which means i have to play about 19000 more games to get one :)

will there any statistics available about poker on this site ?

how many games of poker have been played until now ?

puupia: thanks :) .. 15 minutes and i can play again .. lets find out if this knowledge improves my play :)

puupia: thanks! very clear answers :)

about the straight :
A-2-3-4-5 is a straight ?
10-J-Q-K-A is a straight ?
Q-K-A-2-3 is a straight ?

i think the first 2 examples are .. the third is nothing ?

a few questions :

can the ace be used as a '1' ?
i mean : is A-2-3-4-5 considered to be a straight ? (or nothing)

are there situations where more than 5 cards are used to determine the winner ?
for example :
player A has in his hand 2 and 10
player B has in his hand K and 10
on the table is 6,7,8,9,Q
will the pot be split (both players have a straight) or will player B win with his (6th card) K ?

whats the minimum amount you need to play in a game ? as much as the big blind ? or more ?
(i am not talking about how much you need to join the table, but amout the amount you need to participate in a game when you are already on the table)

coan.net: ah, thanks!

that sounds logical and fair

so if i save 50 credits for the last game and go all in on the first round .. then i can only win <nr of players> * 50 ? the rest of the pot will go the second best hand (provided they had enough credits to play normally :))

i am sure this was already asked before, but i cant find it right now

yesterday i played poker for the first time on here and i like it .. quite addicting :)

sometimes i see 2 winners : 1 wins the pot and another wins the 'side pot' ?

when does this happen ?
