well, if you try various poker games on your PC, you can learn how to (without losing the money) with the often supplied tutorials and help files... ^_^

Video Poker is the same as 5-Card Draw, which is simple really.  The game I play is "Jacks or Better", see, it's pretty simple - and addictive.

Explanation of terms:
Jacks or Better - any pair of face cards
Two Pair - self-explanatory
Three of a Kind - self-explanatory
Straight - any set of cards in a series (e.g. Ace,2,3,4,5 or 10,Jack,Queen,King,Ace)
Flush - all cards of the same suit (Diamonds, Spades, etc.)
Full House - a pair and three of a kind
Four of a Kind - self-explanatory
Straight Flush - a series of cards with the same suit
Royal Flush - a 10,Jack,Queen,King,Ace series with the same suit

thanks for clearing that up, never did new what order it was supposed to be in ^_^

Same goes for all sorts of poker, right? (cuz i discovered a nice hold-em game in my Vista updates...)

Basically, but it's a little more complicated.  You see, since you'll be playing against others now, they'll be counting exactly what it is you have.  You won't just have a straight, it'll be either high or low.  Face cards are even more important because they now carry an inherent value (that is, if you have a shitty hand, just having an "Ace in the hole" can help greatly (well, only if the other players also have equally shitty hands).  Still, the basic hierarchy is the same, it's basically based on the rarity of the hands.  The less likely a hand is to get, the higher value it carries.

Yeah, i know, i saw the A.I. bet high on just a facecard they had, while i was milking them with a flush, or straight, or Ace two pair...
