> Web Stud Poker

One of the new video poker variations is Pick’em Poker. 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. As you know you receive five cards in other video poker games, but in the case with Pick'em Poker you will receive 8 cards. Two of the cards are face up on the left, and then there are two stacks of three cards each on the right. After the deal you can see four cards as the top cards of the sets of cards on the right are up. You have no option to throw away the two cards on the left. These cards can’t be thrown away during 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. In fact this fact determines the outcome of the game. You have to make a right choice. The hand is formed of the two cards on the left and three cards you have left on the right.
