In the American poker the colour is worth less than the full, having 52 cards there are lots of possibilities to make colour than that in Europe where smaller packs of cards are used.  

A typical Italian game of Poker could be reassumed in this sequence:  

In the opening as soon as  the  cards are distributed, the player on the left side of the croupier has the possibility to begin the game or to pass hand, this routine follows up until  a player is in possession of a dressed pair (pair of figures or aces) or a superior combination.   

If in case no players can open, the dealer submits the round to the player on his left side and a new round begins to open.  

In some cases it is possible to also open without possessing a dressed pair, in these cases opening is called blind.  

After follows the arrangement, each player can decide to change from two to five cards or to tell him served (in this case he doesn't have to change any cards); in the case that the cards were not enough to conclude the round of the arrangement  the dealer can mix the cards discarded from the previous players.  

Bets ended, valuate your own cards, the first player that has opened can decide to make a new bet or to pass the hand.   

After any bet the following player has the right to see, to re launch or to pass the hand.   

In the case that at the end of a hand remains only one player, he is then awarded the whole pot, if the players are more than one, you begin to count the combinations in possession and the player with the highest combination wins.
