Playing card games like Poker is a great way to improve memory and concentration. The better you understand and remember card combinations, the better you will do.
This version of Poker, also known as Jacks or Better, is one of the most popular casino card games. This game is just for fun, no real money involved. You play against the computer (the dealer) one-on-one. The goal is to get a pair of Jacks or better to win.
Instructions. You start with a $1,000 credit. To begin playing, click the red "1" or "5" button to place your bet. Max bet is $5.
Next, click the red "Deal" button to deal the cards. The dealer deals you five cards face up. Click each card that you want to keep to "hold" the card. Now click the red "Draw" button to have the dealer give you new cards for the ones you did not hold.
To help you remember the different winning card combinations, here is a chart of Poker hand rankings:
Have fun!
Advanced Brain Training
I complete a quick, 10-minute Lumosity brain training session every morning. These training sessions exercise the different areas of my brain and prepare my mind for the day ahead. Over time, these sessions have sharpened my memory and other mental abilities in a significant and noticeable way. A Lumosity brain training "session" consists of several mind-expanding brain games designed by the scientists at Lumosity and automatically selected for my individualized training program. Examples include Birdwatching, Monster Garden, Lost in Migration, and Spatial Speed Match, just to name a few. Scientific studies show that Lumosity brain training measurably improves memory, attention, cognitive control, and processing speed. To help me track my own improvement, the "My History" section of Lumosity charts my brain's capabilities over time with easy-to-read graphs and Brain Performance Index (BPI) scores. Lumosity is free to try. Complete one brain training session a day for two weeks, and I guarantee you'll be hooked! Note - If you need help with Lumosity or have questions, feel free to send me an email through the Contact Me page at left. |
