There are many variations to poker rules. If you are a die hard online poker player, or like me just get together with the fellas to have a friendly having clear and established poker rules essential for a successful game. We play a lot of variations of guts games and 7 card stud. one guts game we play is called “kings and Babies” Which means that this is a 5 card draw guts game where Kings and your low hold card is wild. Everyone is dealt 5 cards, then the dealer counts to 3 and says drop. If you think you can win with your hand you stay in, if not you drop. If you the only to stay in, you can draw up to 5 cards, but you must beat the deck. (The top 5 cards are turned over) If you win you take the pot, if you loose, you must match the pot and the game goes on.

 

In the event more than one person stays, the person starting to the left of the dealer is allowed to take cards, and then so on around the table. Everyone show their hand, and the person with the best hand wins the pot, and everyone else matches. This is how the pot grows. Usually you need at least a strong 4 of kind to win, but you can stay and hope no one else does and hope to get a good draw. We have had times where the deck has drawn 5 of a kind, and the person who stayed had 5 aces. OUCH!
