Why is there no card [1] in the deck?

[nerobs9]

Hello poker lovers!
The rank of the first card was occupied by an ace. Now poker is the only game where the ace can play two roles. He is the highest card and the lowest card. Do you know why this happened?

Such rules were introduced by the French under the slogan: "The last will be the first." This happened after the revolution. At that time, the ace was considered the lowest card, but it was made the highest card. The ace has become stronger than the king. That is why we do not have card [1] in the deck. Once the Ace was the first card)

This is interesting information. Thank you.
I paid attention to this feature sometimes too. However, if I understand correctly, the ace cannot be the low card in a 6+ deck.

I never wondered why there is no 1 in the card game)

Not only in poker, an ace ranks as both the highest and lowest card. In blackjack, an ace is both a 1 and an 11.

Ace works twice as hard as the rest of the cards or it suffers from schizophrenia. Either way, it is number one.

You can't change the rules, you can add variety to the game.

Nice! Tks for share! I hate when I have a straight A-5 and someone has 2-6! A-5 should wins against 2-6! Weird !

Why not make the Ace a full wild card to be used anywhere in the deck.

The 1 doesn't exist in the deck because the A has the max and min functions at the same time. In poker, the A card has the function of making the player hopeful with joy and at the same time apprehensive. Depending on the development of the opening of the hands, anything can happen. The turn to defeat or victory. In this sense, the A card has the power to be responsible and to be the highest or lowest card, but it all depends on the cards that accompany it.
