> Texas Holdem Poker Variations

One of the new video poker variations is Pick’em Poker. Pick'em Poker has more similarities with stud poker and unlike any other video poker game it has an incredible payout – 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 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. These cards can’t be thrown away during the game. You do get to pick which of the two stacks of cards on the right you want to keep though. The other two cards of the tree-card stack will be turned up as soon as you decide which one to hold. So basically, in Pick'em Poker, you're choosing one of two three card hands every round. Two cards on the left and a stack of three cards you have left on the right form a hand.
