There has been no usual number of cards

After a few years, the game was played and loved by women as well as guys, farmers, glazers, and merchants along with courtesans and aristocrats. The suits at the time from a popular Swedish deck were in order of rank: sun, king, queen, knight, dame, valet and maid. In Florence, cards were depicted as naked dames and dancers, with dancers being the lowest possible level. marked cards tricks

There has been no usual number of cards or models in a deck at that time. The amount of cards might vary from 36 to 40 or perhaps 52. The suits of the time were pictorial of wealth, delicious rations, military security, and sports popular with the court. These were chips, cups, sabers, and clubs. Symbols familiar to us were used in France in the 15th century: in red, Couers (Hearts) stood for the cathedral, carreaux (a rectangular floor tile) symbolized the business class; in black, there were piques (stab and arrow heads) exhibiting  authority, and trifles (trefoil clover leaf) as a sign of the farmers. Some courageous soul at one point along the way ditched the vice-royals for queens.

After a certain period of time, the deck of cards that we know now took form. fifty two cards with ranks comprising 4 separate suits. The suits are Spades, Diamonds, Hearts, and Clubs with the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack counting for ten and the rest of the cards, 2 through 10, being counted at their face value.

For flushes- A-p=6 points, K-p= 5 points, Q-p= 3 points, J-p= 2 points, p- p =1.5 points. Where p stands for any card in the same suit. cheat poker

In case of straights, 2 consecutive cards equal 2 points. Two cards missing one position equal 2points. Two cards missing two position equal 1 point. Three card and four card bonus is 2 points. There are a few pairs which shouldn't be considered like the A-2, A-3 and A-4. There are a few exceptions, like J-10 equivalent to 10 points and 4-2 is 2 points.

The unpaired cards are given bonus such as, A-10 is 1 point and 9-7 is 0.5 point each. Bonus is always given based on the position. Last card is 2 points and second last is a single point.
