Review of poker card rank::What Are the Hands in Texas Holdem
With the increasing popularity of poker around the country thanks to the television coverage of the World Series of Poker by ESPN, along with coverage of other events on different networks more home games are being formed. The great thing about home poker games is that you can organize a group to play on a regular basis where you know pretty much everyone at the game. You are also able to set your own limits and make the game as serious or casual as you want based on your group's preferences. Another great thing about home poker games is you can play poker variations that are not played at casinos. This allows you to choose poker variations that match what your group enjoys playing the most. Here are some new versions to try at your home game. SPLIT POT VARIATIONS Are you looking for a new split pot variation to play at your home game? Many play high/low, High Chicago, or Low Chicago. How about a different one from these standards though. Have the pot split between the winner of the poker hand, and the person with the most "spots" in their hole cards. Only the players who have not folded at the end of the hand can be eligible to win the split pot. To determine who has the most "spots" in their hole cards, add the face values of each person's hole cards to get a total. Aces count as one, and face cards count as zero. Whoever has the highest total splits the pot with the poker hand winner, if the poker hand winner has the highest total of spots in the hole they win the entire pot. STEAL YOUR OPPONENT'S CARDS How about a game where you can play defense and offense at the same time? Play standard seven card stud to start out. Here is the twist though. If a player is dealt a face up heart, they then can take any other player's face up card they wish. They keep both the heart they were dealt and the card they stole. The player who has their face up card stolen does not get it replaced. Even if none of the face up cards help you at the time, it's always good to steal one when you are dealt a heart that you think your opponent will be using for their hand. This game can have a lot of twists and turns in it. SEVEN CARD STUD VARIATIONS How about a couple games that change the rank of hands slightly. The first is Sevens take all. This is usually played in a standard seven card stud game with no wild cards. The rank of the winning hands and the play is exactly the same as seven card stud except for a single twist. The highest ranking hand, even higher than the royal flush, is a pair of sevens! Another variation my friends and I like to play on seven card stud without wild cards is one where four card flushes and four card straights rank in the list of hands. These come into ranking in between a pair and two pairs. A four card straight will defeat a pair, and a four card flush will defeat both a pair and a four card straight. Both of these four card hands though are defeated by any hand two pair or higher. This helps eliminate the dullness of pairs winning hands in seven card stud. Hopefully you will get a chance to play one or a few of these games as your next poker night with your friends. Remember, design the choice of games around the games that your friends enjoy playing. This will ensure that everyone has a fun night whether they win or lose. Of course though it's always more fun to win. |
