> Online Stud Poker Strategy

In comparison with traditional video poker games Pick’em Poker is a newer and unusual video poker game. You can usually find Pickem Poker on the multi-game machines in casinos, the ones where you determine which game you're going to play by touching a screen and choosing. What's interesting about the game is that it has more in common with stud poker than draw poker, and it has a potentially tremendous payout percentage - 99.95 percent if played with perfect strategy. Instead of receiving five cards like you would normally receive in most other video poker games, you receive eight cards. Two of these cards are placed face up on the left and two sets of three cards on the right. The top cards of the two right-handed stacks are up, so you can see a total of four cards after the deal. You have to hold the two cards on the left. Those cards are yours to keep until the end of the hand. But you have to decide which of the right sets of cards you want to hold. The rest of the two down cards will be exposed as soon as you decide which stack you want to hold. In fact the main objective is to choose which stack of cards you want to hold. Two cards on the left and a stack of three cards you have left on the right form a hand.
