Having been learning English for eight years, I don't know(hardly would
non-speakers know)  how poker is played in English world. What I know
till now is just these simple terms like "spade", "heart", "club",
"diamond", "ace", "jack", "queen", "king" and "joker"; that's it!
Do you have a *diamond jack* or *heart 4* in your poker game? How about
a pair of *4*(spade and heart)? What is a third 4 is added, say club? A
forth...? And how about 5 consecutive cards(if not 5, whatever.)? Or
both jokers get in your hand? Things like that.
These *?* may annoy you, but I really wanna know that.
Could anyone help me out? The more the better!
Thanks~~
