    Robert's Rules of Poker

    ROBERT’S RULES OF POKER Version 11 By Robert Ciaffone This PDF Edition Presented by GottaTalkPoker.com – 2012 ROBERT’S RULES OF POKER VERSION 11 “Robert’s Rules Of Poker” is authored by Robert Ciaffone, better known in the poker world as Bob Ciaffone, a leading authority on cardroom rules. He is the person who has selected which rules to use, and formatted, organized, and worded the text. Nearly all these rules are substantively in common use for poker, but many improved ideas for wording and organization are employed throughout this work. A lot of the rules are similar to those used in the rulebook of cardrooms where he has acted as a rules consultant and rules drafter. Ciaffone authored the rulebook for the Poker Players Association (founded in 1984, now defunct), the first comprehensive set of poker rules for the general public. He has done extensive work on rules for the Las Vegas Hilton, The Mirage, and Hollywood Park Casino, and assisted many other cardrooms. Ciaffone is a regular columnist for Card Player magazine, and can be reached through that publication. This rulebook will be periodically revised, so suggestions are welcome. Poker rules are widely used and freely copied, so it is impossible to construct a rulebook without using many rules that exist as part of a rule set of some cardroom. If such a rule is used, no credit is given to the source (which is unlikely to be the original one for the rule). The goal of this rulebook is to produce the best set of rules in existence, and make it generally available, so any person or cardroom can use it who so desires.

  • List of Poker Hands

    List of Poker Hands

    List of poker hands From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In poker, players construct hands of five cards according to predetermined rules, which vary according to which variant of poker is being played. These hands are compared using a hand ranking system that is standard across all variants of poker, the player with the highest-ranking hand winning that particular deal in most variants of poker. In some variants, the lowest- ranking hand can win or tie. Although used primarily in poker, these hand rankings are also used in some other card games, and in poker dice. The ranking of a particular hand is increased by including multiple cards of the same card rank, by all five cards being from the same suit, or by all five cards being of consecutive rank. The relative ranking of the various hand categories is based on the probability of being randomly dealt such a hand from a well-shuffled deck. Contents 1 General rules 2 Hand categories 2.1 Straight flush 2.2 Four of a kind 2.3 Full house 2.4 Flush 2.5 Straight 2.6 Three of a kind 2.7 Two pair 2.8 One pair 2.9 High card 3 Variations 3.1 Decks using a wild card or bug 3.2 Lowball 3.3 Stripped deck variant 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links General rules The following rules apply to the ranking of all poker hands. Under typical rules there are 7463 distinct ranks. A hand always consists of five cards. In games where more than five cards are available to each player, the best five-card combination of those cards must be played.

    Official Montana Poker Rule Book Is Largely Based

    OFFICIAL MONTANA POKER RULE BOOK Department of Justice Gambling Control Division Version 2014.1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ATTRIBUTION The Montana Department of Justice wishes to thank and acknowledge the work and cooperation of Mr. Bob Ciaffone, the author of “Robert’s Rules of Poker,” upon which the Official Montana Poker Rule Book is largely based. Mr. Ciaffone has generously granted the Department permission to use “Robert’s Rules of Poker” in any manner it wishes to improve poker in the state of Montana. This authorization enables the Department to avoid costs associated with the development of a similar reference book, and it serves to bring uniformity in poker rules to Montana. This rulebook may be copied or downloaded by anyone, provided it is not sold for profit without written permission from author Bob Ciaffone, and the name “Robert’s Rules of Poker” is used or credited. PREFACE Nothing in these rules of poker may be construed to conflict with the laws or administrative rules of Montana. In cases where these poker rules conflict with state law or department rule, the law or rule shall prevail. Please note that this version of the Official Montana Poker Rule Book omits the “House Policies” and “Tournaments” sections contained in “Robert’s Rules of Poker (v.11).” Montana law gives card rooms considerable discretion in the adoption of house policies beyond those required under Mont. Admin. R. 23.16.1240. Card rooms are welcome to review and adopt as they see fit any of the “House Policies” contained in “Robert’s Rules of Poker.” Poker tournaments must comply with the most recent version of the Tournament Directors Association Rules, as required by Mont.

The new six-part series will air from 16th May 2013. Each week VICTORIA will be joined by a panel drawn from Britain’s wittiest and most outspoken broadcasters, comedians, writers and performers as they discuss everyday assumptions we all take for granted, mixing verbal dexterity with irreverent humour. Topics from the worlds of news, sport, popular culture, politics and the arts are all potential targets for the full Heresy treatment. Episode one of the new series sees the panel of esteemed guests – LEE MACK, GERMAINE GREER and DAVID SCHNEIDER, discussing whether tennis ace Andy Murray is a lot more likable than he used to be, is maths a more worthwhile subject than media studies and are foxes a pest. Future episodes cover topics such as whether there should be horsemeat in a beef lasagne, whether video games should be an Olympic sport and are voyages to Mars a credit to human endeavour. Show creator and former host, DAVID BADDIEL will be one of VICTORIA’s guests during the series, while other heretics lined up include: DAVID MITCHELL, SUE PERKINS, GILES COREN, ALEX HORNE, RICHARD OSMAN, MILES JUPP, BRIDGET CHRISTIE and MARK STEEL.
