1. Space-Rage,
Hi:
Yesterday: I asked My Friend from Turkey about What Card Games played There
He told Me alot of Games, but I'd like to suggest a cool Game
It's called Turkish Poker
Here are the rules
The minimum number of players is 2 and The maximum is 5. Small Cards are removed from a standard 52-Card pack to make a pack of 24 to 36 Cards, depending on The number of players. The Cards used for play are:
• 2 players : 24 Cards : A, K-Q, J, 10, 9
• 3 players : 28 Cards : A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8
• 4 players : 32 Cards : A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7
• 5 players : 36 Cards : A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6
The Ace is normally The highest Card, but can be used as a low Card to make a straight (or straight flush). When used as a low Card The Ace ranks immediately below The lowest Card in The pack - for example with four players The Ace ranks immediately below The 7 and 10, 9, 8, 7, A is a straight.
The rank of The suits, from high to low, is: Hearts (kupa) > Spades (maça) > Diamonds (karo) > Clubs (sinek).
Names and Ranks of Hands
Note that there're four important differences from international Poker:
- A flush beats a full House (flushes' are more difficult to make with a shortened deck).
- Three of a kind beats a straight
- Aces are considered consecutive with The lowest Card of The deck when making a low (minor) straight.
- In other cases, suits're used to break ties between otherwise equal Hands. Here's a list of The Hand types in order from highest to lowest, with Their Turkish names, and notes on How to compare them when Two or more players have The same type of Hand.
Floş Royal (Royal Flush): The top 5 Cards of a single suit, for example Ace of Diamonds King of Diamonds Queen of Diamond Jack of Diamonds 10 of Diamonds. If Two or more players have royal flushes The higher suit is better.
Floş (Straight Flush): Five consecutive Cards of a suit, not including The Ace - for example King of spades, Queen of Spades, Jack of Spades, 10 of Spades, and 9 of Spades. When comparing straight flushes, first compare The rank or The highest Card.
Minör Floş (Minor Straight Flush): The lowest Four Cards of a suit with The Ace of The same suit - for example in a three-players Game: Jack of Hearts, 10 of Hearts 9 of Hearts, 8 of Hearts and Ace of hearts. If Two players have minor straight flushes, The higher suit is better.
Kare (Four of a Kind): Four equal ranked Cards, with any fifth Card, for example King of Hearts, King of Spades, King of Diamonds, King of Clubs, and 9 of Spades. When comparing these, The higher set of Four is better.
Renk (Flush): any Five Cards of The same suit, such as Ace of Clubs, Queen of Clubs, 10 of Clubs, 9 of Clubs and 7 of Clubs. When comparing the flushes, compare The rank of the highest Card, then The second highest and so on down; if all Five Cards are equal The suit decides. For example Ace of Clubs, Queen of Clubs, Jack of Clubs 8 of clubs and 7 of Clubs is better than Ace of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, 10 of Hearts 9 of Hearts, and 8 of Hearts because The Jack is higher than The 10.
Ful (Full House): Three Cards of one rank plus two Cards of another rank, such as 8 of Spades, 8 of Diamonds, 8 of Clubs, Jack of Hearts and Jack of Clubs. When comparing these, The higher Three of a kind is better.
Üçlü (Three of a kind): Three Cards of The same rank plus two unequal Cards, such as 9 of Hearts, 9 of Diamonds, 9 of Clubs, Jack of Spades and Queeen of Diamonds. When comparing these, The higher three of a kind is better.
Kent (Straight): five consecutive cards of mixed suits, such as Ace of clubs, King of Diamonds, Queen of Spades, Jack of Spades and 10 of Hearts or Queen of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds, 10 of Spades, 9 of Clubs and 8 of Hearts. The straight with The higher top Card is better.
Minör Kent (Minor Straight): a card of each of the lowest four ranks, plus an Ace - for example in Four-players Game 10 of diamonds, 9 of Hearts, 8 of Clubs, 7 of Hearts and Ace of Clubs. Compare The suit of The highest Card
Doper (Two Pair): two Cards of one rank, two cards of another rank, and One other card - for example Ace of Clubs, Ace of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds and 8 of Clubs. First compare The higher pair, then The lower pair, then The odd Card. Only if All Five Cards are equal, compare The suits as explained below.
Per (Pair): two cards of the same rank and three odd Cards. For example Queen of Hearts, 8 of Diamonds King of Clubs, 7 of Spades 8 of Diamonds. Compare the rank of The pairs, then The rank of The odd Cards, beginning with The highest. Only if All Five Cards are equal, compare The suits as explained below.
Yüksek Kart (High Card): Five Cards that don't form any of The above Combinations - for example Ace of Spades, Jack of Hearts, 10 of Clubs, 8 of Spades and 7 of Hearts. Compare The rank of The highest Card, then The second highest and so on.
If Two players have Hands that are equal apart from The suits, The suit ranking's used to determine which's higher, as follows.
• Between otherwise equal flushes or straight flushes The higher suit wins.
• Between equal straights The suit of The highest Card determines Who wins.
• Between equal ranked two-pair Hands (The same ranked Pairs and The same ranked Kicker), The hand that has The heart Card in The higher pair wins, even if The rank of The kicker's higher.
• A similar rule applies to equal Pairs when both Hands have The same three Kickers. The hand with The pair that contains The heart wins.
• Between Two high-Card hands, The One Whose high Card's in The higher suit wins.
Deal and First Betting Round
The first dealer's chosen at random and The turn to deal passes to The left after each Hand. Before each deal all players must ante an equal amount to The Pot.
The cards're shuffled, and dealt clockwise One at a time until each player has Five Cards.
At this point there's a round of betting, in which The minimum requirement to open (oyunu açmak) is a pair of Kings. Players who have less than this must pass (pas), and players're allowed to pass even if They meet The opening requirement.
Once a player's opened, other players can call (görmek), raise (arttırmak) or re-raise (tekrar arttırmak) even without a pair of Kings. Players who don't wish to match The latest bet can fold (çekilmek). They throw in Their Cards face down, take no further part in The Hand, and can't win The Pot. Note that if The opener folds, He or She may be required to show enough Cards to prove that The opening was legal - i.e. that The hand was higher than a pair of Queens.
If all players but One fold, The sole survivor wins The Pot immediately (if it's The opener, The winner may be required to show Cards to prove that The opening requirement was met). Otherwise, The betting round continues until The chips of all surviving players are equal - see The poker betting for a fuller explanation of betting procedures.
If Nobody opens, The Cards're thrown in. The Pot stays, The players ante again and there's a new deal by The next dealer.
Draw and Second Betting Round
If more than One player's still in The Game after The first betting round, The players have an opportunity to improve Their Hands by drawing Cards.
Beginning with The player to dealer's left each player states How many Cards, from 0 to 4, He or She wishes to exchange, discards that number of Cards face down and is given replacement Cards by The dealer from The top of The undealt part of The deck. If The Cards run out, The discarded Cards are shuffled and re used. If a player wishes to change four Cards, only Three're given initially; after All of the players've been served, The players who asked for Four Cards're given Their last replacement Card.
After the exchange of Cards there's a second round of betting begun by The player who opened The first round of betting, or if this player's folded by The next player in clockwise order from The opener who's still active. This player may check (bop), leaving His or Her chip as it's or bet (bahis koymak), putting some additional money in The pot. If Everyone checks, The showdown follows immediately. If a player bets, The other players have the usual options to fold, call or raise.
If All but One player fold, The sole survivor takes The pot immediately. Otherwise, The betting round continues until The chips of all surviving players are equal, and then The cards are shown.
As in the first betting round, if The opener folds or wins because evryone else folds, He or She must show Cards on request to prove that The opening was legal.
Punteggio: +0
