Rules of playing
Poker mainly is perceived as a game of luck, however; when the rules of it are understood, poker is more off a game related to mental, mathematical, and physiological skills. This section will introduce the basic rules of poker, poker etiquette, the ranking values of the hands, and how the game proceeds.
Basic rules of poker
Poker is played with a typical pack of 52 cards. The cards are ranked (from high to low) Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace. (Ace can be high or low, but is usually high). There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs); however, no suit is greater than another.
Poker etiquette:
• When starting with the game, the playing order starts in a clockwise direction.
• You are not allowed to discuss a hand (your cards) even if you folded and are out of the game.
• You leave your cards on the table flipped on their back with chips over them, if you want to see your cards you slightly tilt them with your hands covering them.
• Tipping the dealer with some chips is advisable.
The ranking value of hands
Hands are ranked as follows (from low to high):
• High card: such as an ace
• A pair of two cards with similar numerical value
• 2 pairs: 4 cards that have the same numerical value ( ex 2 3’s and 9s’)
• 3 of a kind (set): 3 cards of the same numerical value
• Straight: five cards in numerical sequential order in different suits
• flush: five cards in same suite
• A full house: 3 cards of the same number or 2 cards of the sam number
• 4 of a kind: 4 cards of the same number
• Straight flush: five cards in numerical sequential order in same suite
• A royal flush: 10 j,q,k, ace in order of the same suit and that is the best hand in poker.

To add to Dill’s amazing thinking of plays and games, the movie did not include the strip poker game. This gave an excellent lesson and moral to the reader’s of the book. “Matches are dangerous, but cards are deadly…” This quote was very meaningful and made people think about the true meaning of it. Matches can harm people but playing a card poker game, stakes are high and could involve money and peoples lives, if things go in the wrong way. This scene would be great for the movie and would put a more dramatic and meaningful look to the movie.
Card counting is giving a certain value to cards that have been dealt in the blackjack table and keeping track of them. The most card counting method for blackjack is called Hi-Low system. Small valued card which is 2-6 has a count of +1, medium valued card which is 7-9 is considered as neutral and has 0 count, and high valued cards, which are 10 and ace have -1 count. It will be ideal if players started counting at the beginning of every game, where dealer’s hasn’t dealt any cards at all, but starting in the middle is also fine. The count doesn’t restart when the round is over, the count keeps on going until the decks get shuffled.be

The basic system of just about every casino is that of the tables (including Roulette, Blackjack and Craps) filling the center of the room with computerized machines (including slots and video poker) that don’t need much tending to surrounding the area. Also, in many casinos there is a second floor surrounding the perimeter of the building with balconies everywhere so the main floor is still the center of attention. This setup brings the eye of casino patrons, wherever they may be, to the center of the casino. This strategic arrangement plays with the fact of human nature being drawn to the center of the action. Coincidentally, or not, the games in the center of the casinos are always the games where people often spend the most money. By chance if your eye isn’t drawn then perhaps the shrill of people winning will bring your attention. Don’t be fooled though, house advantage is always higher than...
The book never really says who is giving Ed the ace of spades cards. I have two predictions. One prediction is his ma. She has always wanted Ed to do something with his life. Right now he is a 19 year old taxi driver which is illegal nonetheless. First Ed never listens to her. “I’ll just tell her that Dickhead Ed forgot to pick up my coffee table.”(Markus 28). He is never on time to any activity except poker nights with his friends. Ed also mostly helps woman in New York City. His ma can relate to how these woman feel. When one of the cards come in it has “The Stones of Home” as the address. Only Ed’s family called one building in picticular that name.

Draw poker: these are games in which players are dealt a complete hand, hidden and then improve it by replacing cards
The dealer starts the game by giving two cards to all of the players, including the dealer. All of the cards are dealt face up except for 1 of the dealer’s card. After seeing the card, players must decide what they want to do. Common decisions are hitting or standing. Hitting is receiving one more card to the hand while standing is not doing anything to the hand. Players can also double down, meaning they double their bet and receive one more card. Splitting is another option, which is to split the 2 same cards to make 2 hands. The dealer will then give one card to each hand, and the player must make their decision again. Lastly, some casinos (most doesn’t) allow players to surrender, which is to fold but lost 50% of the bet.
Suppose the front side of the card states “The sentence on the other side of this card is TRUE”, and suppose the back side of the card states “The sentence on the other side of this card is FALSE”. If the first statement (front side statement) is true, then so is the second. But if the second (back side statement) is true, then the first statement is false. From this line of logical reasoning the conclusion is that if the first statement is true, then the first statement is false. If the first statement is false, then the second is false as well.
Magic tricks have fascinated people of all ages for centuries. From David Copperfield to Chris Angel, many performers use magic to amaze and astound. One of the least elaborate types of magic tricks is the card trick. There are two main types of card tricks: there are mathematical card tricks and sleight of hand card tricks. The former are simple to learn, but do not impress audiences. To really attract attention, an aspiring magician should learn sleight of hand card tricks. Sleight of hand card tricks are tricks that use misdirection and special manipulations of a deck of cards to do something seemingly impossible. The techniques involved require much practice. While performing a sleight of hand trick, a magician must constantly be distracting the audience. Because of this, many people believe that they are not capable of learning sleight of hand magic. In order to prove them wrong, I will describe a simple sleight of hand trick that anyone can learn, as long as they remember that we all have the potential inside of us to do magic.
