- **a. How to Play Poker Face**
- **-------------------------**
-
- There are many variations of the card game of
- poker, Poker Face is a 5 card draw version
- of the popular game. It is played with a standard
- 52 card deck.
-
- Each hand starts with the player being given
- the option to 'Pass' or 'Throw' away selected
- cards. To 'Pass' simply click on the 'Pass'
- button. Otherwise, select cards you wish to
- discard by clicking on the cards and then
- clicking on the 'Throw' button. If you decide
- to keep a selected card, click on the card
- a second time, before clicking on the 'Throw'
- button. As with traditional poker, the
- discarded cards are replaced by new cards
- dealt from the deck.
-
- After the player passes or throws away
- discarded cards, the dealer then chooses to
- hold on to its current hand, or discard
- selected cards.

- The winner of the hand is the one with the
- highest poker hand. Hand order - high card,
- one pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight,
- flush, full house, four of a kind, straight
- flush, royal flush.
-
- A straight is five cards of any suite in
- numeric order. A flush is five cards of the
- the same suite in any numeric order. A full
- house is two cards of the same rank plus
- three additional cards of the same rank.
-
- A player plays against the house dealer until,
- either the player or the dealer runs out of
- money. The dealer starts with $10,000 of
- available cash, while the player starts with
- $25,000 to bet. A bet can be made in increments
- of $25 up to $250. To increase the bet amount,
