Карточная игра
Card game
Покер — это семейство карточных игр, в которых игроки делают ставки, определяя, чья комбинация карт является лучшей согласно правилам конкретной игры. В покер играют по всему миру, хотя правила могут варьироваться в зависимости от места. Самая ранняя известная версия игры игралась всего с 20 картами, но сегодня обычно используется стандартная колода, хотя в странах, где распространены укороченные колоды, играют с 32, 40 или 48 картами. Таким образом, покерные игры различаются по конфигурации колоды, количеству карт в игре, числу раздаваемых карт рубашкой вверх или вниз, а также количеству карт, доступных всем игрокам. Однако во всех играх предусмотрены один или несколько раундов ставок. В большинстве современных покерных игр первый раунд ставок начинается с того, что один или несколько игроков делают принудительную ставку (блайнд или анте). В стандартном покере каждый игрок делает ставку, исходя из того, насколько сильной, по его мнению, является его комбинация по сравнению с комбинациями других игроков. Затем действие переходит по часовой стрелке, и каждый игрок по очереди должен либо уравнять (или "коллировать") максимальную предыдущую ставку, либо сбросить карты, потеряв сделанную ставку и лишившись дальнейшего участия в раздаче. Игрок, уравнявший ставку, может также "поднять" (увеличить) ставку. Раунд ставок заканчивается, когда все игроки либо уравняли последнюю ставку, либо сбросили карты. Если в любом раунде сбрасывают все карты, кроме одной, оставшийся игрок забирает банк, не раскрывая свою комбинацию. Если после последнего раунда ставок в игре остается более одного игрока, происходит вскрытие, во время которого игроки показывают свои комбинации, и игрок с выигрышной комбинацией забирает банк. За исключением первоначальных принудительных ставок, деньги в банк вносятся добровольно игроком, который либо считает, что ставка имеет положительное математическое ожидание, либо пытается блефовать других игроков по различным стратегическим соображениям. Таким образом, хотя исход каждой конкретной раздачи во многом зависит от удачи, долгосрочные ожидания игроков определяются их действиями, основанными на вероятности, психологии и теории игр. Покер значительно вырос в популярности с начала 21-го века (2001 года) и превратился из преимущественно развлекательного занятия, доступного небольшим группам энтузиастов, в широко популярное занятие как для участников, так и для зрителей, включая онлайн-игры, с большим количеством профессиональных игроков и многомиллионными призами в турнирах.
Poker is a family of comparing card games in which players wager over which hand is best according to that specific game's rules. It is played worldwide, but in some places the rules may vary. While the earliest known form of the game was played with just 20 cards, today it is usually played with a standard deck, although in countries where short packs are common, it may be played with 32, 40 or 48 cards. Thus poker games vary in deck configuration, the number of cards in play, the number dealt face up or face down, and the number shared by all players, but all have rules that involve one or more rounds of betting. In most modern poker games, the first round of betting begins with one or more of the players making some form of a forced bet (the blind or ante). In standard poker, each player bets according to the rank they believe their hand is worth as compared to the other players. The action then proceeds clockwise as each player in turn must either match (or "call") the maximum previous bet, or fold, losing the amount bet so far and all further involvement in the hand. A player who matches a bet may also "raise" (increase) the bet. The betting round ends when all players have either called the last bet or folded. If all but one player folds on any round, the remaining player collects the pot without being required to reveal their hand. If more than one player remains in contention after the final betting round, a showdown takes place where the hands are revealed, and the player with the winning hand takes the pot. With the exception of initial forced bets, money is only placed into the pot voluntarily by a player who either believes the bet has a positive expected value or who is trying to bluff other players for various strategic reasons. Thus, while the outcome of any particular hand significantly involves chance, the long run expectations of the players are determined by their actions chosen on the basis of probability, psychology, and game theory. Poker has increased in popularity since the beginning of the 21st century (2001) and has gone from being primarily a recreational activity confined to small groups of enthusiasts to a widely popular activity, both for participants and spectators, including online, with many professional players and multimillion dollar tournament prizes.
История
Хотя точное происхождение покера является предметом споров, многие исследователи игр указывают на французскую игру Poque и персидскую игру As Nas как на возможные ранние источники вдохновения. Например, в издании 1937 года "Foster's Complete Hoyle" Р. Ф. Фостер писал, что "игра в покер, впервые сыгранная в Соединенных Штатах, пять карт каждому игроку из колоды в двадцать карт, несомненно, является персидской игрой As Nas". Однако в 1990-х годах мнение о том, что покер является прямым потомком As Nas, начало оспариваться игровыми историками, включая Дэвида Парлетта. Бесспорно, покер получил распространение на юге США в начале XIX века, благодаря игровым речным пароходам на реке Миссисипи и в окрестностях Нового Орлеана в 1830-х годах, которые способствовали распространению игры. Одно из первых описаний игры в покер, зафиксированное английским актером Джо Коуэллом, относится к партии, сыгранной на пароходе в 1829 году. Игра велась с использованием двадцати карт, ранжированных от туза (старшая) до десятки (младшая). В отличие от этой версии покера, семикарточный стад появился лишь в середине XIX века и был широко распространен американской армией. Он стал неотъемлемой частью многих казино после Второй мировой войны и приобрел популярность с началом Всемирной серии покера в 1970-х годах. Техасский холдем и другие игры с общими картами стали доминировать на игорной сцене в последующие два десятилетия. Телевизионные трансляции покера оказали особенно сильное влияние, увеличив популярность игры в начале нового тысячелетия, что привело к покерному буму в период с 2003 по 2006 год. Сегодня игра стала чрезвычайно популярным увлечением во всем мире.
While poker's exact origin is the subject of debate, many game scholars point to the French game Poque and the Persian game As Nas as possible early inspirations. For example, in the 1937 edition of Foster's Complete Hoyle, R. F. Foster wrote that "the game of poker, as first played in the United States, five cards to each player from a twenty card pack, is undoubtedly the Persian game of As Nas." However, in the 1990s the notion that poker is a direct derivative of As Nas began to be challenged by gaming historians including David Parlett. What is certain, however, is that poker was popularized in the American South in the early 19th century, as gambling riverboats in the Mississippi River and around New Orleans during the 1830s helped spread the game. One early description of poker was played on a steamboat in 1829 is recorded by the English actor, Joe Cowell. The game was played with twenty cards ranking from Ace (high) to Ten (low). In contrast to this version of poker, seven card stud only appeared in the middle of the 19th century, and was largely spread by the US military. It became a staple in many casinos following World War II and grew in popularity with the advent of the World Series of Poker in the 1970s. Texas hold 'em and other community card games began to dominate the gambling scenes over the next couple of decades. The televising of poker was a particularly strong influence increasing the popularity of the game during the turn of the millennium, resulting in the poker boom a few years later between 2003 and 2006. Today the game has grown to become an extremely popular pastime worldwide.
Варианты
В покере существует множество вариаций, все они следуют схожему принципу игры и обычно используют одну и ту же иерархию комбинаций. Выделяют четыре основных семейства вариантов, в основном классифицируемых по протоколу раздачи карт и ставок:
Poker has many variations, all following a similar pattern of play and generally using the same hand ranking hierarchy. There are four main families of variants, largely grouped by the protocol of card dealing and betting:
Straight A complete hand is dealt to each player, and players bet in one round, with raising and re raising allowed. This is the oldest poker family; the root of the game as now played was a game known as Primero, which evolved into the game three card brag, a very popular gentleman's game around the time of the American Revolutionary War and still enjoyed in the U. K. today. Straight hands of five cards are sometimes used as a final showdown, but poker is almost always played in a more complex form to allow for additional strategy. Stud poker Cards are dealt in a prearranged combination of face down and face up rounds, or streets, with a round of betting following each. This is the next oldest family; as poker progressed from three to five card hands, they were often dealt one card at a time, either face down or face up, with a betting round between each. The most popular stud variant today, seven card stud, deals two extra cards to each player (three face down, four face up) from which they must make the best possible 5 card hand. Draw poker Five card draw: A complete hand is dealt to each player, face down. Then each player must place an ante to the pot. They can then see their cards and bet accordingly. After betting, players can discard up to three cards and take new ones from the top of the deck. Then, another round of betting takes place. Finally, each player must show their cards and the player with the best hand wins. Community card poker Also known as "flop poker," community card poker is a variation of stud poker. Players are dealt an incomplete hand of face down cards, and then a number of face up community cards are dealt to the center of the table, each of which can be used by one or more of the players to make a 5 card hand. Texas hold 'em and Omaha are two well known variants of the community card family. There are several methods for defining the structure of betting during a hand of poker. The three most common structures are known as "fixed limit," "pot limit," and "no limit." In fixed limit poker, betting and raising must be done by standardized amounts. For instance, if the required bet is X, an initial bettor may only bet X; if a player wishes to raise a bet, they may only raise by X. In pot limit poker, a player may bet or raise any amount up to the size of the pot. When calculating the maximum raise allowed, all previous bets and calls, including the intending raiser's call, are first added to the pot. The raiser may then raise the previous bet by the full amount of the pot. In no limit poker, a player may wager their entire betting stack at any point that they are allowed to make a bet. In all games, if a player does not have enough betting chips to fully match a bet, they may go "all in," allowing them to show down their hand for the number of chips they have remaining. While typical poker games award the pot to the highest hand as per the standard ranking of poker hands, there are variations where the best hand, and thus the hand awarded the pot, is the lowest ranked hand instead. In such games the best hand contains the lowest cards rather than the highest cards; some variations may be further complicated by whether or not hands such as flushes and straights are considered in the hand rankings. There are also games where the highest and lowest hands divide the pot between them, known as "high low split" games. Other games that use poker hand rankings may likewise be referred to as poker. Video poker is a single player video game that functions much like a slot machine; most video poker machines play draw poker, where the player bets, a hand is dealt, and the player can discard and replace cards. Payout is dependent on the hand resulting after the draw and the player's initial bet. Strip poker is a traditional poker variation where players remove clothing when they lose bets. Since it depends only on the basic mechanic of betting in rounds, strip poker can be played with any form of poker; however, it is usually based on simple variants with few betting rounds, like five card draw. Another game with the poker name, but with a vastly different mode of play, is called Acey Deucey or Red Dog poker. This game is more similar to Blackjack in its layout and betting; each player bets against the house, and then is dealt two cards. For the player to win, the third card dealt (after an opportunity to raise the bet) must have a value in between the first two. Payout is based on the odds that this is possible, based on the difference in values of the first two cards. Other poker like games played at casinos against the house include three card poker and pai gow poker.

**Straight (Открытый покер)** Каждому игроку сдается полная рука, и игроки делают ставки в один раунд, с возможностью повышения. Это старейшее семейство покера; истоком современной игры была игра, известная как Примеро, которая эволюционировала в игру с тремя картами, популярную среди джентльменов во времена Американской революции и до сих пор распространенную в Великобритании. Комбинации из пяти карт в открытом покере иногда используются для финального вскрытия, но чаще в покер играют в более сложных форматах, позволяющих применять разнообразные стратегии.

**Stud (Стад)** Карты сдаются в заранее определенной комбинации рубашкой вверх и вниз, или «улицами», после каждой из которых следует раунд ставок. Это второе по старшинству семейство; по мере развития покера от трех до пяти карт, их часто раздавали по одной карте за раз, рубашкой вверх или вниз, с раундом ставок между каждой раздачей. Самый популярный вариант стада сегодня – семикарточный стад, где каждому игроку сдается две дополнительные карты (три рубашкой вниз, четыре рубашкой вверх), из которых он должен составить лучшую возможную пятикарточную комбинацию.

The three most common structures are known as "fixed limit," "pot limit," and "no limit." In fixed limit poker, betting and raising must be done by standardized amounts. For instance, if the required bet is X, an initial bettor may only bet X; if a player wishes to raise a bet, they may only raise by X. In pot limit poker, a player may bet or raise any amount up to the size of the pot. When calculating the maximum raise allowed, all previous bets and calls, including the intending raiser's call, are first added to the pot. The raiser may then raise the previous bet by the full amount of the pot. In no limit poker, a player may wager their entire betting stack at any point that they are allowed to make a bet. In all games, if a player does not have enough betting chips to fully match a bet, they may go "all in," allowing them to show down their hand for the number of chips they have remaining. While typical poker games award the pot to the highest hand as per the standard ranking of poker hands, there are variations where the best hand, and thus the hand awarded the pot, is the lowest ranked hand instead. In such games the best hand contains the lowest cards rather than the highest cards; some variations may be further complicated by whether or not hands such as flushes and straights are considered in the hand rankings. There are also games where the highest and lowest hands divide the pot between them, known as "high low split" games. Other games that use poker hand rankings may likewise be referred to as poker. Video poker is a single player video game that functions much like a slot machine; most video poker machines play draw poker, where the player bets, a hand is dealt, and the player can discard and replace cards. Payout is dependent on the hand resulting after the draw and the player's initial bet. Strip poker is a traditional poker variation where players remove clothing when they lose bets. Since it depends only on the basic mechanic of betting in rounds, strip poker can be played with any form of poker; however, it is usually based on simple variants with few betting rounds, like five card draw. Another game with the poker name, but with a vastly different mode of play, is called Acey Deucey or Red Dog poker. This game is more similar to Blackjack in its layout and betting; each player bets against the house, and then is dealt two cards. For the player to win, the third card dealt (after an opportunity to raise the bet) must have a value in between the first two. Payout is based on the odds that this is possible, based on the difference in values of the first two cards. Other poker like games played at casinos against the house include three card poker and pai gow poker.
**Draw Poker (Дро-покер)** *Five Card Draw (Пятикарточный дро-покер):* Каждому игроку сдается полная рука рубашкой вниз. Затем каждый игрок должен сделать обязательную ставку (анте) в банк. После этого игроки могут посмотреть свои карты и сделать ставку соответственно. После раунда ставок игроки могут сбросить до трех карт и взять новые с верхней части колоды. Затем происходит еще один раунд ставок. Наконец, каждый игрок должен открыть свои карты, и игрок с лучшей комбинацией выигрывает.
Poker has many variations, all following a similar pattern of play and generally using the same hand ranking hierarchy. There are four main families of variants, largely grouped by the protocol of card dealing and betting:
Straight A complete hand is dealt to each player, and players bet in one round, with raising and re raising allowed. This is the oldest poker family; the root of the game as now played was a game known as Primero, which evolved into the game three card brag, a very popular gentleman's game around the time of the American Revolutionary War and still enjoyed in the U. K. today. Straight hands of five cards are sometimes used as a final showdown, but poker is almost always played in a more complex form to allow for additional strategy. Stud poker Cards are dealt in a prearranged combination of face down and face up rounds, or streets, with a round of betting following each. This is the next oldest family; as poker progressed from three to five card hands, they were often dealt one card at a time, either face down or face up, with a betting round between each. The most popular stud variant today, seven card stud, deals two extra cards to each player (three face down, four face up) from which they must make the best possible 5 card hand. Draw poker Five card draw: A complete hand is dealt to each player, face down. Then each player must place an ante to the pot. They can then see their cards and bet accordingly. After betting, players can discard up to three cards and take new ones from the top of the deck. Then, another round of betting takes place. Finally, each player must show their cards and the player with the best hand wins. Community card poker Also known as "flop poker," community card poker is a variation of stud poker. Players are dealt an incomplete hand of face down cards, and then a number of face up community cards are dealt to the center of the table, each of which can be used by one or more of the players to make a 5 card hand.

Существует несколько методов определения структуры ставок во время игры в покер. Три наиболее распространенных структуры известны как «фиксированный лимит», «пот-лимит» и «без лимита». В покере с фиксированным лимитом ставки и повышения должны осуществляться фиксированными суммами. Например, если минимальная ставка равна X, игрок, делающий первую ставку, может поставить только X; если игрок хочет повысить ставку, он может повысить только на X. В покере с пот-лимитом игрок может сделать ставку или повысить на любую сумму, не превышающую размер банка. При расчете максимально допустимого повышения, все предыдущие ставки и коллы, включая колл игрока, делающего повышение, сначала суммируются в банке. Затем игрок может повысить предыдущую ставку на полную сумму банка. В покере без лимита игрок может поставить весь свой стек фишек в любой момент, когда ему разрешено сделать ставку. Во всех играх, если у игрока недостаточно фишек для полного соответствия ставке, он может пойти «олл-ин», разыгрывая свою руку на сумму имеющихся у него фишек.

В типичных играх в покер банк присуждается игроку с самой высокой комбинацией в соответствии со стандартным ранжированием покерных рук, однако существуют вариации, в которых лучшая рука, и, следовательно, рука, которой присуждается банк, является самой низкой комбинацией. В таких играх лучшая рука содержит самые низкие карты, а не самые высокие; некоторые вариации могут быть еще более сложными, в зависимости от того, учитываются ли такие комбинации, как флеш и стрит, при ранжировании рук. Существуют также игры, в которых банк делят между собой игрок с самой высокой и игрок с самой низкой комбинацией, известные как игры «high-low split».

Players are dealt an incomplete hand of face down cards, and then a number of face up community cards are dealt to the center of the table, each of which can be used by one or more of the players to make a 5 card hand. Texas hold 'em and Omaha are two well known variants of the community card family. There are several methods for defining the structure of betting during a hand of poker. The three most common structures are known as "fixed limit," "pot limit," and "no limit." In fixed limit poker, betting and raising must be done by standardized amounts. For instance, if the required bet is X, an initial bettor may only bet X; if a player wishes to raise a bet, they may only raise by X. In pot limit poker, a player may bet or raise any amount up to the size of the pot. When calculating the maximum raise allowed, all previous bets and calls, including the intending raiser's call, are first added to the pot. The raiser may then raise the previous bet by the full amount of the pot. In no limit poker, a player may wager their entire betting stack at any point that they are allowed to make a bet. In all games, if a player does not have enough betting chips to fully match a bet, they may go "all in," allowing them to show down their hand for the number of chips they have remaining. While typical poker games award the pot to the highest hand as per the standard ranking of poker hands, there are variations where the best hand, and thus the hand awarded the pot, is the lowest ranked hand instead. In such games the best hand contains the lowest cards rather than the highest cards; some variations may be further complicated by whether or not hands such as flushes and straights are considered in the hand rankings. There are also games where the highest and lowest hands divide the pot between them, known as "high low split" games. Other games that use poker hand rankings may likewise be referred to as poker. Video poker is a single player video game that functions much like a slot machine; most video poker machines play draw poker, where the player bets, a hand is dealt, and the player can discard and replace cards. Payout is dependent on the hand resulting after the draw and the player's initial bet. Strip poker is a traditional poker variation where players remove clothing when they lose bets. Since it depends only on the basic mechanic of betting in rounds, strip poker can be played with any form of poker; however, it is usually based on simple variants with few betting rounds, like five card draw. Another game with the poker name, but with a vastly different mode of play, is called Acey Deucey or Red Dog poker. This game is more similar to Blackjack in its layout and betting; each player bets against the house, and then is dealt two cards. For the player to win, the third card dealt (after an opportunity to raise the bet) must have a value in between the first two. Payout is based on the odds that this is possible, based on the difference in values of the first two cards. Other poker like games played at casinos against the house include three card poker and pai gow poker.
Straight A complete hand is dealt to each player, and players bet in one round, with raising and re raising allowed. This is the oldest poker family; the root of the game as now played was a game known as Primero, which evolved into the game three card brag, a very popular gentleman's game around the time of the American Revolutionary War and still enjoyed in the U. K. today. Straight hands of five cards are sometimes used as a final showdown, but poker is almost always played in a more complex form to allow for additional strategy. Stud poker Cards are dealt in a prearranged combination of face down and face up rounds, or streets, with a round of betting following each. This is the next oldest family; as poker progressed from three to five card hands, they were often dealt one card at a time, either face down or face up, with a betting round between each. The most popular stud variant today, seven card stud, deals two extra cards to each player (three face down, four face up) from which they must make the best possible 5 card hand. Draw poker Five card draw: A complete hand is dealt to each player, face down. Then each player must place an ante to the pot. They can then see their cards and bet accordingly. After betting, players can discard up to three cards and take new ones from the top of the deck. Then, another round of betting takes place.

Другие игры, использующие ранжирование покерных рук, также могут называться покером. Видеопокер – это однопользовательская видеоигра, функционирующая как игровой автомат; большинство видеопокерных автоматов играют в дро-покер, где игрок делает ставку, сдается рука, и игрок может сбросить и заменить карты. Выигрыш зависит от комбинации, полученной после сброса, и от первоначальной ставки игрока.

Стрип-покер – это традиционная разновидность покера, в которой игроки снимают одежду, проигрывая ставки. Поскольку она зависит только от базовой механики ставок в раундах, в стрип-покер можно играть в любой вариант покера; однако обычно она основана на простых вариантах с небольшим количеством раундов ставок, таких как пятикарточный дро-покер.

Еще одна игра с названием «покер», но с совершенно другим принципом игры, называется Acey Deucey или Red Dog poker. Эта игра больше похожа на блэкджек по своей структуре и ставкам; каждый игрок делает ставку против казино, а затем ему сдаются две карты. Чтобы выиграть, третья сданная карта (после возможности повышения ставки) должна иметь номинал между значениями первых двух карт. Выигрыш основан на вероятности этого события, в зависимости от разницы в номиналах первых двух карт. Другие игры, похожие на покер, которые играют в казино против казино, включают трехкарточный покер и пай-гоу покер.

While typical poker games award the pot to the highest hand as per the standard ranking of poker hands, there are variations where the best hand, and thus the hand awarded the pot, is the lowest ranked hand instead. In such games the best hand contains the lowest cards rather than the highest cards; some variations may be further complicated by whether or not hands such as flushes and straights are considered in the hand rankings. There are also games where the highest and lowest hands divide the pot between them, known as "high low split" games. Other games that use poker hand rankings may likewise be referred to as poker. Video poker is a single player video game that functions much like a slot machine; most video poker machines play draw poker, where the player bets, a hand is dealt, and the player can discard and replace cards. Payout is dependent on the hand resulting after the draw and the player's initial bet. Strip poker is a traditional poker variation where players remove clothing when they lose bets. Since it depends only on the basic mechanic of betting in rounds, strip poker can be played with any form of poker; however, it is usually based on simple variants with few betting rounds, like five card draw. Another game with the poker name, but with a vastly different mode of play, is called Acey Deucey or Red Dog poker. This game is more similar to Blackjack in its layout and betting; each player bets against the house, and then is dealt two cards. For the player to win, the third card dealt (after an opportunity to raise the bet) must have a value in between the first two. Payout is based on the odds that this is possible, based on the difference in values of the first two cards. Other poker like games played at casinos against the house include three card poker and pai gow poker.
Компьютерные программы
Различные компьютерные игроки в покер были разработаны исследователями из Университета Альберты, Университета Карнеги-Меллона и Университета Окленда, среди прочих. В статье, опубликованной в январе 2015 года в журнале Science, группа исследователей, преимущественно из Университета Альберты, объявила, что они "практически слабо решили" игру один на один в лимитированном Техасском Холдеме, используя своего покерного бота Cepheus. Авторы утверждали, что Cepheus в среднем будет проигрывать не более 0,001 больших блайнда за игру даже самому сильному противнику, и стратегия настолько "близка к оптимальной", что "не может быть статистически значимо побеждена за время жизни человека, играющего в покер".
A variety of computer poker players have been developed by researchers at the University of Alberta, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Auckland amongst others. In a January 2015 article published in Science, a group of researchers mostly from the University of Alberta announced that they "essentially weakly solved" heads up limit Texas Hold 'em with their development of their Cepheus poker bot. The authors claimed that Cepheus would lose at most 0.001 big blinds per game on average against its worst case opponent, and the strategy is thus so "close to optimal" that "it can't be beaten with statistical significance within a lifetime of human poker playing."
