 Closed (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term is also used to describe a category of poker game in which no cards held by individual players are visible to any other player before the showdown.
The round can also said to be closed before it has actually ended if there are still players remaining to act, but they will not be entitled to raise either because the last raise was a sub-minimum all-in raise (see poker table stakes rules) or because the limit ("cap") on allowed raises has been reached.
Most forms of stud poker, in contrast, are open games, because some players' cards are dealt face up or are exposed during play (blind stud games are an exception).

 Hand (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some games called lowball or low poker are played where players strive not for the highest ranking of the above combinations but for the lowest ranking hand.
Hands are ranked first by category, then by individual card ranks.
That is, even the minimum qualifying hand in a certain category defeats all hands in all lower categories.

Most forms of stud poker, in contrast, are open games, because some players' cards are dealt face up or are exposed during play (blind stud games are an exception).
Most community card poker games like Texas hold 'em are considered closed as well, because the only cards exposed before showdown belong to everyone; the individual players' cards are never seen until showdown.

 Amazon.com: The Book of Bluffs : How to Bluff and Win at Poker: Books: Matt Lessinger
A fine addition to any poker library, this book is a natural fit to the aggressive players who come from the Brunson school of "attack, attack, attack." If you're a tighter, more mathematical player, then you absolutley need to read this book to expand your mind and take your game to the next level.
The bluffs are broken down into different chapters by category, such as "Attacking Weakness", "Representing Strength", "Online Bluffs", etc. Readers will be familiar with quite a few of the bluffs used in the book, either by word of mouth or from seeing them on TV.
Nothing is more intrinsic to the game of poker than the bluff: it takes real talent to win with the worst cards and poker tips excel when they teach great bluff strategies.

 Cardoza Publishing
Caro is primarily known as a teacher and theorist, but beyond that—twice world poker champion Doyle Brunson calls him “the best draw poker player alive,” while the late gambling expert John Scarne ranked him in the top five, and premier authority David Sklansky has also rated him first in the world in that important category.
He is consultant to many of the world’s leading poker players and casinos, and his advice on casino games and gambling in general is highly regarded throughout the world.
His Cardoza Publishing books include Beat the Craps Table, Beat Multiple Deck Blackjack, Secrets of Winning Roulette, Video Poker for the Winner, and Secrets of the New Casino Games are packed with concise, powerful information and are focused on actual winning techniques.

 The Quinn-Pike Video Poker Study
Having video machines close to home was by far the category with the greatest proportion of players (61.9%) reported having this inducement available and that it encouraged them to play longer or more often.
A primary purpose of this study was to examine the extent of video gaming involvement and problem gambling among players in South Carolina.
However, these analyses provide 4 major indications about video gambling among players in South Carolina: (1) extent of gambling on video gaming devices, (2) general signals of problem gambling, (3) problem gambling with regard to the number of years having played video gaming devices, and (4) regulatory issues related to video gaming devices.

 Poker Hands - Understand winning poker hands
Some players play their poker hands as if the Ace is a low card.
A hand is always considered to belong to the highest category into which it fits - for example 7-7-7-5-5 counts as a full house - not (for example) as a pair with three odd cards that happen to be equal.
In the meantime, poker hand rankings are created based on the probability of being dealt a particular 5-card poker hand combination from a standard 52-card deck.

 Hand (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some games called lowball or low poker are played where players strive not for the highest ranking of the above combinations but for the lowest ranking hand.
Hands are ranked first by category, then by individual card ranks.
Sometimes straights and/or flushes count in determining which hand is highest but not in determining which hand is lowest (being reckoned as a no-pair hand in the latter instance), so that a player with such a holding can win both ways and thus take the entire pot.

 The Rules of Yahtzee
Again as in poker, a Full House is a roll where you have both a 3 of a kind, and a pair.

The group version simply consists of a number of players playing the solitary version simultaneously, with the highest score winning.

 Neopets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also in this category are a daily crossword ("Faerie Crossword"), a dice game ("Dice-a-roo" - not a playable game anymore for players under 13 years), and a version of Minesweeper ("Neggsweeper").
While this is factually incorrect (gambling is not required, nor are pets ever sent to an orphanage if they are not fed), it is true that the website has a number of games of chance that are directly based on real-life games like blackjack, poker, and even lottery scratch cards.
Neopets claimed that there has never been a hacked account; they attribute that to the fact that users may be tricked into giving out their password or have their own computer hacked and their password stolen via a keylogger.

 Game theory - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In zero-sum games the total benefit to all players in the game, for every combination of strategies, always adds to zero (or more informally put, a player benefits only at the expense of others).
Game theory classifies games into many categories that determine which particular methods one can apply to solving them (and indeed how one defines "solved" for a particular category).
Go, chess and poker exemplify zero-sum games, because one wins exactly the amount one's opponents lose.
