Roll Your Own Poker

Hey there! Let me tell you about a cool poker game called Roll Your Own Poker. The objective of this game is simple: win the pot by having the highest ranking hand.

This game is designed for 5-7 players and you’ll need a standard 52-card deck to play. The cards are ranked from highest to lowest: A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.

Roll Your Own Poker is a type of poker game that adults love to play. Now, let me explain how the game works.

How to Play Roll Your Own Poker

In Roll Your Own Poker, also known as Mexican Poker, we play a style of poker called Seven Card Stud. The twist is that instead of the dealer dealing some of the cards face-up, they are dealt face-down. Exciting, right?

Before the betting round begins, it’s time to show off your skills. Take a good look at your cards, and carefully choose which ones you want to reveal to your opponents. This is your chance to strategize and think ahead.

Now, let’s break it down step by step:

1. The dealer will start by dealing each player two cards face-down and one card face-up.
2. Take a look at your face-down cards, but keep them a secret!
3. Based on your face-down cards, choose one card to reveal to everyone at the table. This will be your “Roll Your Own” card.
4. The dealer will then continue dealing each player one card face-up, followed by a betting round.
5. Time for another round of showing off! Look at your new face-up card and choose one card to reveal. This will be your second “Roll Your Own” card.
6. The dealer will deal each player another face-up card, followed by a betting round.
7. Now, it’s time for the final round of revealing. Look at your last face-up card and choose one card to reveal as your third “Roll Your Own” card.
8. After the final “Roll Your Own” card is revealed, the dealer will continue dealing each player one more face-down card, followed by a final betting round.
9. Once the betting round is complete, it’s time for the showdown! Each player will reveal their remaining face-down cards and the player with the highest ranking hand wins the pot.

And there you have it – the exciting game of Roll Your Own Poker! With its unique twist on Seven Card Stud and the element of surprise, this game is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. Are you ready to give it a try?

Let me tell you how the game works:

1. First, we all put in a certain amount of money as a bet. The dealer then gives each of us three cards, face-down. We choose one card to turn face-up and place our bets based on the strength of our hands.
2. The dealer deals another card to each player, face-down. We then turn another card face-up from our hand. This process continues until we all have six cards, with four face-up and two face-down. Then we have another round of betting.
3. Next, the dealer gives each player their seventh card, face-down. The final round of betting starts, and when it’s done, the remaining players enter the showdown. The player with the highest five-card hand wins the game.

Now, let’s talk about how we reveal our cards:

• Option 1: We all choose our cards and keep them face-down. Then, at the dealer’s signal like saying “1, 2, 3, FLIP!”, we all show our cards at the same time.
• Option 2: We take turns revealing our cards one by one.

VARIETY

Mississippi Mud

Let me tell you about a different version of poker called Mississippi Mud. In this game, we have a twist with some special rules.

This version is best played with 5 to 7 players. So, gather your friends and let’s get started.

First, each player is dealt 7 cards by the dealer. Then, it’s time to make some choices. You get to pick two cards to throw away, and one card to show to everyone. This means that you end up with a five-card poker hand, with one card that everyone can see, and four that are a mystery.

Once everyone has made their choices, the betting begins. And here’s an interesting twist – the player with the highest-value exposed card gets to start the betting. It adds a little excitement to the game, don’t you think?

So, here’s how it works: once we finish betting, we reveal one more card from our hand. At this point, we have two cards showing from our five-card poker hand. Then, we have another round of betting, but this time we start with the person who has the highest pair. If there are no pairs, then it’s the person with the highest single card. We keep going in this pattern until everyone has four cards showing and one card left in their hand. And that leads us to the final round of betting.

Now, at this point, we all have to decide if we’re playing our hand high or low. It’s important to remember that for low hands, we use the Ace-to-Five lowball hand rankings. Finally, we reveal our last card, and here’s the exciting part: the pot gets split! The best high hand and the best low hand each get a piece of the prize.
