"Ace". Its origin comes from the old french word with the value “one”. An interesting fact of poker is that in the first rules Ace was the lowest card, it was quite difficult to win with him. However, later the poker rules began to change and Ace became the highest card in the deck.
Many players even wondered why poker has such a name. The French confidently assert that this game appeared precisely in their country. She was called "Poque". An interesting fact is that the rules of this game were different from modern poker.
In Germany, the origin of the game does not agree. Here it is believed that poker comes from the German word "pochen"
