Poker game with shared common card

摘要

A method of playing a variation of Texas Hold'em poker in which each player is dealt three hole cards instead of the usual two. A player sets his three cards into two Texas Hold'em type hands, each having two cards, by selecting from among the three cards one card that is shared with each of the other two cards to form a two-card hand. Except for each player playing two hands, the rules of play are those of a traditional Texas Hold'em game with flop, turn and river board cards, and betting rounds after display of the flop, turn and river board cards. In two variations of the game, the players select their shared cards either prior to or after display of the board flop cards. Also, the shared cards can be opened either at the time they are selected or after the round of betting that follows display of the river card.
