Watch an expert card player explain what a full house in poker is in this free online video clip about the rules of poker. Expert: Reg Brittain Bio: Reg Brittain has benefited from the poker boom. Feel free to download a copy of latest Poker rules for free! Full house - In this hand, the player has a pair of one card and trips of the other. For example, you have 8,K and the board is 4,8. Normal poker rules determine the strength of hands to be the higher value cards in the following order: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, and Two. The suit of each card does not determine any sort of strength in normal poker rules. Made hands can themselves be separated into three groups: Monster hands: Better than one pair on the flop. Examples: A♠ J♠ on a flop of A♥ J♦ 2♣ 3♠ 3♥ on a flop of A♠ K♦ 3♦ Very strong hands: Very good one pair hands such as top pair with top kicker or an over-pair to the board. Examples: Q♠ Q♦ on a flop of 10♠ 4♣ 4♦.

Mark Brader has provided the following tables of probabilities of the various five-card poker hands when five cards are dealt from a single 52-card deck, and also when using multiple decks.

The traditional hand types are described on the poker hand ranking page. These include one hand that belongs to two types at once - a straight flush is both a straight and a flush. With two or more decks, it is possible for other combinations to occur, such as a hand that has both a flush and a pair (such as 4-6-6-8-9 all of one suit). The left-hand tables include these composite hand types for multiple decks; in these tables 'plain' means a hand that is not a flush.

The hands are listed in descending order of probability, which could be used as the basis for their ranking order in multi-deck poker variations. It can be seen that as the number of decks increases, flushes become easier to make than straights, and sets of equal cards become more common.

Here is the Perl program that produced the tables. Mark Brader has placed both the program and the tables in the public domain.

Every home or casino has it’s own unique house rules besides the general rules. The house rules have to be announced to the players before the game and everyone has to follow them. Sometimes there are different rules for cash games and tournaments. If you don’t want to follow the house rules, you should not play at that house/casino.It is always a good idea to print your house tourney/cash rules and either put them at your bulletin board or have everyone read it.

Following is a guide to home poker rules that I enforce in my own house games:

• Smoking is not allowed at the table
• No spilling drinks. If you spill your drink once, you are banned from any more drinking at the table.
• The house has the final word over any confusion during the hands.
• The house can remove anyone from the game in case the players break any of the rules.
• Anyone caught cheating will be asked to leave the house and they will not get paid out.
• Keep your cards in front of your chips at all times.
• Your bet is your first announcement. If you announce $30 raise and put $50, you have to take $20 back.

• Do not say the possibilities on the flop until the hand is over. (For example if there is a one card straight, don’t bring it up until the hand is over).
