To play poker, you need a full deck of 52 cards
History of Lúcia Mara - Espirito Santo, Brasil
To play poker, you need a full deck of 52 cards, minus the jokers. There are four different suits: diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades, with 13 cards each. However, this was not always the case. The first games were played with a reduced deck, containing only 30 cards, preventing more than 4 players from participating at the table, as each one received 5 cards.
