Online Poker is a popular game these days and the industry has seen a major growth in the last decade. Currently there are more than 200 virtual poker rooms and the biggest advantage is they are open 365 days a year and even at late hours of the day. Just do a Google search and you will find a number of web based poker channels with instructions as well as they have tutorials on how to play. The game is played with the regular deck comprising 52 cards. The cards are numbered from 1 to 10, ace, king, queen and jack. Aces are valued the most and then comes the king, queen and jack followed by 10, 9, 8 etc.
Virtual poker is simple and quick to learn. Every player is given two cards which are confidential and five community cards that are always placed open at the centre of the table. It can be used by any player to form the five card poker. Make sure that the two private cards are not viewed by the other players. When you practice poker online an imaginary dealer that is the computer automatically decides on who should be the first one to gamble or bet. There are two compulsory bets and this is done before starting the game. These bids are called "blinds" and once they are posted the game starts. The player left of the dealer establishes the initial bet.
After completion of the first betting round the computer discards the first card on the deck and opens three cards which are placed on the table. Similarly a second round of bet is completed and now the system displays one more open card on the table. The third betting round is crucial and this is where the gambling amount rises to two fold. Once the final round is over the show down starts and the best show wins.
