The origin of 1 and j

J(JACK) in poker was originally used by refugees, and it was still quite popular in Britain and continental Europe until the 1940s. One of the reasons why the word "JACK" instead of "refugee" can be quickly accepted by the public is that the first letter J of the word "JACK" can be easily used when recording or reporting card cases, or when using abbreviations, or when describing the process of playing cards. In the past, when the word "refugee" was used, KN had to be used. If only K was used, it would cause confusion.

2, clown card

Clowns, fools are fools. Western culture yearns for freedom and equality. In tarot cards, power is temporary and laughter is eternal.

In this way, the trump card becomes a substitute for any card. So in the game of fighting landlords, or in some games, the trump card becomes an arbitrary card.

To sum up, the trump card has two reasons. One is to use the divination function of tarot cards. Clown cards are the biggest and have great luck. The second is to be the expression of any card.

3. Common clauses

At the table, there are some established rules. These rules often come from preventing cheating.

Language restriction: In order to prevent collusion among players, only English communication is allowed at the poker table. However, with the development of the Internet, other languages have gradually entered the chat environment.

When you get a hand, you can't ask anyone's opinion or show it to others, that is, there can only be one player in a hand.

When the final card is bigger than the card, if the opponent shows his card and finds that his card is better, show it quickly. Deliberate delay or feint will be regarded as impolite and provocative.
