NOVEL VARIATION ON TRADITIONAL POKER

摘要

A new variation to standard poker card games is provided involving the initial dealing of a token to each contestant in a tournament prior to the initial hand being played. The token may then be utilized by the holder at anytime after an individual hand has been fully played by all contestants and an initial winner is determined at that time. Such a token allows the holder to include the token within the pot of such an individual hand in order to have a subsequent card dealt in order to improve, potentially, any remaining contestant's hand. As a basic rule, if the dealt extra card then causes a change in terms of the individual hand winner, the initial winner loses half of the pot to the subsequent winner who also takes the token to use in the future as needed.
