Hand
★★★
Basic Definition
In poker, a "hand" refers to the combination of cards dealt to each player or the player's hand in that game. Additionally, the term "hand" can also be used to refer to a single game unit.
Specific Situation
- In Hold'em, the first two cards dealt to you (e.g.,

) are called your "hand." - In the case of "joining from the next hand," it refers to a unit of one game.
Important Information
- The strength of a hand changes relatively depending on the hands of other players and the situation of the community cards (board).
- The choice of hands (whether to participate or not) greatly influences the outcome of poker, so the ability to select strong hands is crucial.
Examples of Term Usage
"This hand is strong, so let's try raising pre-flop and go on the offensive."
