Deck Poker

Deck Poker Overview

Deck is a variant of Five Card Stud in which players can choose between taking a card that is shown to them and taking a random card from the deck. Deck is good for 3-8 players.

Deck Poker Rules

To begin the game, players ante up, placing a small sum of money in the pot. Then the dealer gives each player one card facedown. Then the dealer flips over the top card of the deck. Beginning with the player to his left, and going clockwise around the table, the dealer offers each player the choice of the card that is flipped up or the top card of the deck. Regardless of which card the player chooses, it is placed face-up in front of him. If the first player chooses the top card, the second player is offered the same card flipped up. If the first player chooses the card that has been flipped over, the dealer flips over the next card and offers it to the second player. This continues around the table. Since the dealer is the last player, if he does not take the card that is flipped up, it is placed on the bottom of the deck.

There is a round of betting. Beginning with the player to the dealer’s left, and moving clockwise around the table, each player can choose whether they wish to remain in the game or not. If they do not wish to remain in the game, they simply fold, and they risk no more money. If they wish to stay in the game, they can call the current bet, matching it. They can also raise the bet, forcing other players who want to stay in to match the new bet.

When the betting round is over, cards number three through five are dealt the way that card number two was dealt, with each player choosing between the card that is flipped up and the card on the top of the deck. There is a round of betting after each card is dealt.

When all players have five cards, and the final round of betting is complete, there is a showdown. Players show their hidden card, and the player with the best poker hand wins the pot.
