Poker game in India

Poker and its origin

The modern format of the poker game can be dated back to the early 19th century. It all began in the then French territory of New Orleans (USA) and soon found its way in the floating saloons of Mississippi. Poker began as a 20-card game before the current variation of full-deck 52-card variation took over. While this is what we know about today’s poker, there are traces of the game found in 10th century China and 16th century Persia - where the game was known as As Nas.

Poker came into India as the Western society set foot on our soil. The game began as a leisure activity and since anything related to playing cards was a taboo in the country, not many players opened up about being poker enthusiasts.

Today, pokеr thrivеs in India as a popular mind-sport and compеtitivе activity. Both online and offline cash games, as well as tournamеnts, have cultivated a new generation of skillеd playеrs. This journey from traditional gamеs to a modern pokеr community highlights India's cultural richnеss and adaptation to changе.

Poker variants

Before you hit the online poker game tables, let’s get you familiarise with the popular poker variants to play on Pocket52

feature-content-icon

Texas hold’em poker game

Texas Holdem is the most popular variant of poker card games from the fact that all the card rooms or online gaming platforms which offer poker will have Texas Hold’em tables for sure. Also, the reference of Texas Hold’em in television, movies and internet further ignited the popularity of this poker variant.

Texas Holdem requires at least 2 participants and can be played with up to 9 participants. Each player in the game will get 2 hole cards as face down and 5 community cards will be dealt face up on the poker table in 3 stages - The Flop, The Turn, The River. The objective of the game is to make the best 5 card poker hand using the combination of 2 hole cards and 5 community cards to win the game. Texas Hold’em uses a poker sequence chart to determine the player with the best hand.

feature-content-icon

Omaha poker

Omaha is another interesting variation of poker where instead of getting two cards at the start (as in Texas Hold’em), you get four cards. But, the goal of this variation also remains the same - form a combination of best 5 cards, using at least 3 community cards. What makes this poker format exciting is that there is more probability for players to form higher-ranking combinations and this opens up interesting showdowns. There are many variations within Omaha as well but the most popular one is Pot-limit Omaha.

feature-content-icon

Types of Pot-Limit omaha

Pot-limit Omaha or PLO has three sub-formats within it. There are three types of PLO games you can play online and win real cash:

VariationHole Cards (HC)Community Cards (CC)Best combination
PLO-4452HC + 3CC
PLO-5552HC + 3CC
PLO-6652HC + 3CC

The main characteristic of a PLO game is that the size of a bet can only be as big as the size of the pot. For example, if the pot has ₹200 in it, your bet cannot exceed that amount.

Poker game rules

Before you grab a seat on the poker table, it’s important you understand the basic poker rules and terms of the game.

One of the most important and basic poker game rules is to make the best 5 cards poker hand by using the combination of two cards dealt to you plus the 5 community cards on the table. The ranking of these hands is based on the probability of creating them.

Poker hand rankings

Let’s start with understanding the poker rankings of 10 possible hands, which comprise poker sequences, pairs, triplets, and cards of a suit.

  • Bullet Icon

    Royal Flush: The highest straight (sequence of cards) of any suit is the royal flush. Example: (A♦ K♦ Q♦ J♦ 10♦)

  • Bullet Icon

    Flush: When you create a combination of five cards of the same suit but they are not in a sequence, it is known as flush. Example: (3♦ 5♦ 8♦ J♦ K♦)

  • Bullet Icon

    Straight: When you create a combination of five cards which are in a sequence but are not of the same suit, it is known as a straight. Example: (5♦ 6♣ 7♦ 8♠ 9♣)

  • Bullet Icon

    Three of a Kind: When you have 3 cards of the same rank, it is known as three-of-a-kind, sometimes it’s also called triplets. Example: (8♣ 8♦ 8♠ 7♣ K♦)

  • Bullet Icon

    Two Pair: When your combination contains two different pairs, it is known as a two-pair. Example: (7♦ 7♠ Q♦ Q♥ 6♣)

  • Bullet Icon

    One Pair: A pair of cards of the same rank is known as a one-pair. Example: (J♦ J♠ 4♠ 8♦ 10♣)

  • Bullet Icon

    High Card: The lowest-ranked poker sequence is the high card hand in poker. Example: (A♣ 8♥ 7♦ J♦ K♠)

Important poker terms

  • Bullet Icon

    Ante: Ante is a forced bet made by all the players before any cards are dealt. This is the amount every player needs to play before the initial betting begins. Once everyone has placed an Ante on the poker table, it will give the pot a value.

  • Bullet Icon

    Pot: This is the total of all the bets that have been placed in a single hand.

  • Bullet Icon

    Fold: If you are not happy with your poker cards and you are not confident that you will be able to bluff your way to a victory, you can always choose to fold your cards. Once you fold, you will need to wait for another hand to start.

  • Bullet Icon

    Bet: In the game of poker, you can choose to bet an amount on your turn. This amount depends on you and does not need to follow any set of rules.

  • Bullet Icon

    Call: If you want to match an opponent’s bet in a poker game, you need to “Call” it. This indicates that you want to contest the hand.

  • Bullet Icon

    Raise: If an opponent has bet some amount and you want to increase the stakes, you will need to “raise” on your turn. This simply means that you are increasing the betting amount that everyone needs to put in to participate in the hand.

  • Bullet Icon

    All-in: If a player bet the entire stack in the pot and with no poker chips left to call or raise.

  • Bullet Icon

    Bluff: Bluff is a move that players use to fool their opponents. They can portray that they have a stronger poker hand than they actually have by betting on their turn or by raising their opponent's bet.

  • Bullet Icon

    Small Blind: The player seated on the left of the poker dealer is known as the small blind. This player needs to put half the amount of big blind before any cards are distributed.

  • Bullet Icon

    Big Blind: The player seated on the left of the small blind is known as big blind. This player puts in double the amount of small blind before the hand starts.

  • Bullet Icon

    Bad Beat: When a strong hand gets beaten by an even stronger hand in a poker game, the event is known as “bad beat”. For example, a straight getting beaten by a flush on the river, will be considered a bad beat.

How to play poker game

After the two-hole cards are dealt to all the poker players. Every player can choose to do any of the following five poker actions during each round of betting - Fold, Call, Check, Raise or go All-In. But, all these actions are tied to five rounds of play during a game of poker. These rounds are described below:

feature-content-icon

Preflop:

Before any cards open up on the table, there is a round of betting that takes place in a poker game. In this round, the two players to the immediate left of the dealer have to make the forced bets known as blinds. The other players then have to match the blinds for the Flop to open. Players can either match or raise the blind amount during this round.

feature-content-icon

Flop:

After all the Preflop bets are matched, the Flop opens - first three community cards on the table. Players can then look at these cards and see if they are able to make any combinations or if their hands are looking good. All players can either check, call, fold or raise during this round in the game.

feature-content-icon

Turn:

After the Flop round of betting is over, the fourth community card opens on the table - this card is known as the Turn. Players can check, call, fold or raise during this round, depending on the strength of their hand combinations.

feature-content-icon

River:

Again after the previous round of betting is complete, the fifth and final community card opens up on the table - this is known as the River. One final round of call, fold, check or raise happens and the players can move onto the Showdown round as per the strength of their poker hands.

feature-content-icon

Showdown:

After all the betting rounds end, all the players participating in the hand will need to show their cards; this is known as “showdown.”

Benefits of playing poker game

To excel in any game or sport, you need to have a certain set of skills. While poker sounds like a simple game, it tests a lot of your skills which are important in daily life as well:

feature-content-icon

Risk management:

Check or fold, bet or raise, you need to assess the risk involved on every turn. Keep your mind calm and trust your skills and make sure that the risk you are taking is never bigger than the reward at stake in the game of poker.

feature-content-icon

Mathematics skills:

Poker is a game that heavily revolves around probability. You need to be good at basic maths to calculate the chances of you winning the hand and whether it’s worth wagering any money based on your opponent’s moves. Once you start playing regularly, you will realise that your mathematical skills are getting sharper with every game.

feature-content-icon

Patience and discipline:

Like mentioned above, you need to stay calm if you want to win money in the long run. Keep your ego in check, and don’t bluff too much. If you’re not happy with your odds, just fold, no need to test your luck in every hand. Remember, it’s a game of skill, play it like that. Patience and discipline is what will come to you with more time spent on the poker table.

feature-content-icon

Emotional control:

Throw emotions out of the window when you sit on a table. Many players go on a “tilt” after a bad beat. Chasing a straight till the river card, making unnecessary bets, taking a defeat to the heart, all these things will only result in losses. Poker teaches you how to keep your emotions in check, and sometimes the lesson is taught the hard way.

feature-content-icon

Analytical skills:

Poker can help you improve your analytical skills. You will observe that you are able to predict things better, read people through their moves, and understand things a little better.

Different types of betting limits in poker

In a standard game of poker, the term ‘Bet’ means a wager made by a player when no previous action has taken place during the current round of play. For example: If you are the first player to take action on the current round, and you put chips into the pot - that’s called making a ‘Bet’.

However, if another player has already made a ‘Bet’ before your turn, then the choices are categorized differently. In such a scenario, if you want to put more chips into the pot than your opponent, then it is called a ‘Raise’. A ‘Raise’ is a specific type of wager, that is an increased amount over the original wager, and other players must call the same amount to stay in the round.

The three main types of betting in poker are - No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit.

feature-content-icon

No limit

‘No Limit’ type of betting in poker allows players to bet any amount of their chips at any time. There are no restrictions on the size of a bet or raise. This creates a situation for aggressive plays, big bluffs, and high-risk, high-reward scenarios.

feature-content-icon

Who should play no limit poker:

  • Players with strong risk tolerance: No Limit games have a high-risk, high-reward chance with big swings. Players who are strong in terms of bankroll, and can tolerate big losses at times, should play this style in poker tournaments.
  • Players with good emotional control: Poker forces players who are not getting good hands to lose emotional control. Players with good emotional control are good at playing no limit games.
  • Players with good strategy: Seasoned poker players know that you cannot play every hand, and expect to win them all. They change their strategy and betting patterns according to their cards, the opponent's style of play, and the odds of getting a good hand on the flop.
feature-content-icon

Who should avoid no limit poker:

  • Poor bankroll managers: Players who are short-stacked or don’t have enough money should avoid playing no limit games.
  • Tilt-Prone players: Players who get easily frustrated with a few bad hands and go on tilt big on one particular hand should avoid no limit games.
  • Risk-Averse players: Players uncomfortable about big bets or cautious with their stack should avoid this game.

For example, if a player bets ₹50, the following player must at least call ₹100 to raise. This is similar to ‘Pot Limit’, but the significant difference is that there is no maximum limit.

The no limit betting style is very volatile with huge swings in fortune. If the small blind is say ₹50 and the big blind is ₹100 as per the above example, and the player who is about to raise has ₹1000 in his hand. In no limit, he can choose to match the big blind or go all-in and bet the entire ₹1000.

feature-content-icon

Pot limit

‘Pot Limit’ betting in poker allows players to bet or raise up to the current size of the pot. The maximum bet is determined by calculating the currently active pot, the amount needed to call, and any potential future raises.

feature-content-icon

Who should play pot limit poker:

  • Aggressive players: They apply pressure on opponents by making frequent bets or raises, forcing them to commit more chips to the pot.
  • Positionally aware players: These players excel by capitalizing on their sitting position during a hand of poker.
  • Pot-Control players: They control the bet sizing and protect themselves from massive pots unless holding premium hands.
feature-content-icon

Who should avoid pot limit poker:

  • Aggressive bluffers: They should avoid pot limit since they cannot go all-in every time to force a bluff.
  • Loose players: Those who like to see the flop often may risk creating large pots they can't manage.
  • Inexperienced players: Beginners unfamiliar with bet sizing or pot odds may find pot limit poker complex.

Also check: Poker Odds Calculator

feature-content-icon

Fixed limit

In ‘Fixed Limit’ poker, the betting structure restricts the amount a player can bet or raise to a predetermined value. Bets and raises are set in fixed increments, with limits typically doubling as the game progresses. Players can only raise a limited number of times, which helps to control the pot and minimize risk.

Example: The stakes determine how much one may wager in each round. For example, if the blinds are ₹1 and ₹2, then the first player to the left of the big blind has three actions that they can perform:

  • They can call the ₹2 big blind.
  • They can raise, but the limit is the big blind amount, hence a raise of only ₹2 is permitted.
  • They may choose to fold and not play this round.
feature-content-icon

When to play fixed limit:

  • Cautious players: Those players who prefer limited risks and smaller swings in bankroll, as the bet sizes are pre-determined.
  • Strategic players: Players who focus on long-term strategy, and post-flop decisions rather than bluffing.
  • New players: Those who are learning the game, since the betting structure minimizes risks while the players are understanding the game dynamics and learning the hands.

Understanding the various poker playing styles

Poker playing styles can be broadly divided into four main types: Tight (Players who wait for stronger cards to play), Loose (Players who play almost every hand), Aggressive (Players who bet or raise frequently to create pressure), and Passive (Players who tend to call and check more than initiating action).

Players often like to combine these styles, which leads to certain types of strategic players like -

feature-content-icon

Tight passive

A ‘Tight Passive’ poker player is very common when you are at an early stage of learning the game. They are very selective with their hands, hardly entering big pots, and like to be less aggressive. A real world example would be amateur poker players in home games or private tables. They become really predictable after a few hands.

feature-content-icon

Loose passive

A ‘Loose Passive’ type of poker player tends to play a wide range of hands and rarely sits out. They tend to call more than bet or raise, relying more on luck than strategy. Again a prime example would be beginners who are unsure of their strategy, and tend to play safe.

feature-content-icon

Tight aggressive (TAG)

A ‘Tight Aggressive’ poker player or TAG plays a conservative style, but bets or raises aggressively when holding good cards. They generally fold weak hands, but capitalize on profitable situations. Prime example of a TAG poker player is Phil Ivey - he combines patience with well-timed aggression.

feature-content-icon

Loose aggressive (LAG)

A ‘Loose Aggressive’ poker player or LAG, tends to play a wide range of hands, and bets small but frequently to apply constant pressure on most hands. This style of play is difficult to counter due to unpredictability. An example of a LAG player is Tom Dwan - known for his bold and fearless plays in high stakes games, he pushes his opponents with relentless aggression.

Poker strategies and winning tips

Poker strategy and winning tips provide essential insights towards improving your poker game. Mastering the art of reading opponents, bluffing, and proper positional play makes the difference between winning and losing.

feature-content-icon

Remember the rankings of poker hands

Remembering poker hand rankings is key to becoming a good poker player, since hand rankings are crucial in determining winners.

For example, a Full House (Three of a kind plus a pair) beats a Flush (Any five cards of the same suit) because it is higher in rank. Understanding hand rankings helps players make accurate decisions while betting or raising.

feature-content-icon

Pay attention to your opponents

In poker, reading opponents involves observing their behavior, betting patterns and body language. By analyzing these patterns, players can make strategic decisions, read bluffs, and adjust their play accordingly. Spotting tendencies like - aggressive betting or frequent folding, provides valuable information to strategic players.

feature-content-icon

Bluff wisely

Bluffing in poker is a scenario where a player aggressively bets or raises with a weak hand to make opponents fold stronger hands. On a dry board (e.g., 7♠ 2♦ Q♣), with a few draws available, bluffing can be very effective, since opponents are less likely to hold a strong hand.

On a wet board (e.g., 9♥ 8♠ J♦), where more hands are forming, opponents will be more likely to call your bluff.

feature-content-icon

Position is key

In poker, position plays a key role as it determines the flow of action during each round of betting. Players in later positions (like the button) have an advantage, as they can see how the opponents are playing, before deciding their own move. This allows for better bluffing opportunities and the ability to control the pot size more.

feature-content-icon

Know when to fold

Folding in poker generally means giving up or surrendering your hand for that round. You typically fold, when you have weak hands and no chance of winning, with the opponents betting aggressively. For example: Folding a pair hand after a very high bet (e.g, multiple face cards are open on the flop or a flush/straight draw is forming) is often a wise move.

Poker 101: Your questions, answered

Poker is a game of skill. The goal is to be profitable over a long run. A professional player can have an unfavorable day or a month, but they make sure that at the end of the year they are profitable. The idea is to maximize wins and minimize losses. Luck will only help you a few times but a skilled player will always be more profitable than you when you compare your winnings in the long term.
Poker tournaments add an electrifying layer of competition and excitement to the game. Poker tournaments typically involve players competing against each other to win money or rewards. Players pay a Buy-In to enter the tournament and receive a set number of chips. As the tournament progresses, blinds (forced bets) increase at regular intervals, encouraging action and ultimately leading to the elimination of players. The last remaining player, who holds all the chips, wins the tournament.
Poker has been deemed legal in India. Upon thorough examination of the Gambling Act of 1867, it was determined that it does not fall under the category of gambling games. This is because it requires a certain level of innate skill to play. However, residents of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Gujarat and Telangana are not permitted to play online poker.
The three main types of poker games are:
  • Draw Poker: In this type of poker, a player is dealt a complete hand before the betting round begins. In each round, the player needs to develop their hand by drawing or replacing cards.
  • Stud Poker: In stud poker, a player is dealt a combination of face-up and face-down cards over multiple rounds of betting.
  • Community Card Poker: Probably the most popular type of poker, this involves a player getting a few cards as whole cards that they need to use along with the community cards on the table. Texas Hold'em and Omaha are popular variants of community card poker.
