Poker rules!!

NeVeR

Hey

I'm having a poker game tomorrow, and i'm playing with a few people that dont quite know the rules,

Like what beats what,
we all know 3 of a kind beats 2 of a kind,

But it's when people starting calling "Blues" and what not's people get confused, cos they dont know what wins,

If anyone know a site where the rules are or if you know them please let me know .

thanks,

I think a blue is the same as a flush - 5 cards in the same suit.

The fastest and best way to learn the rules is the hard way, how most people find out......:D

Nah a flush is a run of five cards of the same suit. A royal flush is a run to the ace of the same suit.

Big poker game tonight with the extended family. Anyone got any tips on how to cheat?

[Edit] Or is that a straight flush? I could be lying through my teeth.
