> Straight Poker Payout

One of the new video poker variations is Pick’em Poker. 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. Pick'em Poker is very like stud poker. But the main feature of the game is a payout, which is 99.95 percent. Instead of receiving five cards like you would normally receive in most other video poker games, you receive eight cards. Two of the cards are face up on the left, and then there are two stacks of three cards each on the right. The upper cards of the two sets of cards on the right are face up. You can’t throw away the cards on the left. You have to hold them till the end of the game. But you have to decide which of the right sets of cards you want to hold. When you select which stack you want to keep, the two cards dealt underneath the face up card are exposed, and your hand is made from the two cards on the left plus the three cards in the stack you kept. So basically, in Pick'em Poker, you're choosing one of two three card hands every round. The hand is formed of the two cards on the left and three cards you have left on the right.
