Hand Link

I'm rather confused. The link for hand in this article links to a poker hand, which has a link to non-standard poker hands. Neither mentions the normal meaning of the word hand in any generic card game. It's definition is too vague on those pages to be usefully linked from here, but I see no other good link on Wikipedia for it. On the Hand disambiguation page, there is this:

Hand (poker), a set of cards a player is dealt or drawn in a game of dominoes or cards

but it also refers to the poker hand definition while giving a general one. Is there no place other than this disambiguation page where hand is mentioned as it related to general card playing? Poker isn't the only card game. The Wiktionary for hand gives a definition at entry 12. Should we link to that instead or just describe it here? --WPaulB 06:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I wrote this article, Hand (poker) was much more general than it is now. Now, indeed, it is a redirect and not appropriate for this article. Whether some article Hand (cards) is worthy of encyclopedic treatment, I'm not sure. -Acjelen 13:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
