One tournament rule i just learned called the "Min the Master'' rule....you can't check the nuts when you're last to act on the river. They're starting to penalize you. They said Min (sp) plays with a team and he slow plays the nuts when going against one of his 'team'. In a tournament, you're supposed to be busting out people and not helping out your friends.
Has anyone else heard of this?

All poker hands consist of 5 cards. You may hold more cards than 5, but the hand you play can be only 5. There are several variations of poker, but all follow a general outline. Blinds or Antes are placed in the pot, and cards are dealt. Betting occurs now and again after any new cards are dealt or draws are taken. Remaining players then show their cards to determine a winner. The ranking of hands follows from best to worst. Cards are listed by number then suit, so 6c is the six of clubs.
Royal Flush - The highest possible straight flush.
Example: 10c Jc Qc Kc Ac
Straight Flush - 5 cards in sequential order and the same suit.
Example: 4h 5h 6h 7h 8h
Four of a kind: Four of one particular card.
Example: 8c 8d 8s 8h Qd
Full House: Three of a kind plus another pair.
Example: 10d 10s 10c Ad As
Flush: Five cards of same suit.
Example: Ah Jh 10h 4h 3h
Straight: Five cards in sequential order.
Example: 4h 5s 6s 7s 8d
Three of a kind: Three of any card.
Example: 5s 5d 5h Ac Ks
Two Pair: Two pairs and one indifferent card.
Example: Ac As Kc Kh 9d
One Pair: Two of any card
Example: 10d 10h 9s 5d 3d
High Card: Hands consisting of none of the previous are as strong as the highest card they contain.
Example: Ah 10d 8d 7d 3c is an "Ace High" hand and beats any "King High" hand or lower, but loses to any hand containing a pair or better.
If two players have two pair, whoever has the biggest pair wins. One has AA 22 6, the other KK QQ J, the aces and twos win. Had their hand been KK 22 6, the other player would win because after tying with a pair of Kings, the 2nd pair was 2's versus Q's, making KK QQ the winner.
The same is true of three of a kind. Three 10's beats three 9's.
With straights, whoever's straight has the highest card wins. 56789 beats 45678 and A2345, but loses to 678910.
Flushes are determined by the highest card. If that card is the same, continue to the next lowest and compare. Continue until one player has a higher card or it is determined the flushes are identical and the pot is split.
Ah Kh Qh 9h 8h loses to Ac Kc Qc Jc 2c.
Full houses are ranked first by the 3 of a kind. If this is the same, check the pair. KKK AA loses to AAA 22.
Four of a kind are ranked exactly as three of a kind. 4444A is lower than 55552.
Straight Flushes are the same as straights. Whichever hand has the highest card wins.
If one player played 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s, they would lose to a player who played 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s.
Royal Flushes cannot be beaten, at worst you can tie in the event another player also holds a royal flush. The likelihood of this is 2.67 x 10 -12, so someone might be cheating. Count on it never happening.
If in the end two people have the best hand and it is a tie, for example both have a straight ten high (6 7 8 9 10) the pot is divided in half, half going to each player with the winning hand. Should any amount not be able to be divided, that amount is given to the player closest to the left of (and not including) the dealer.
This is rather extensive, but should cover most situations that you will encounter at the card table.
