New Triple-Flop "Hold'Em" Poker Game Could Supplant the Existing Game, Which Has Been Around For Decades
This New 2005, Patent Pending, Version Of "Hold'Em" Is A More Entertaining And Exciting Version Of The Game Being Played Today; For The Players And Also, More Profitable To The Gaming Establishments
(PRWEB) March 10, 2005 -- A New Version Of "Hold'Em" Poker May Supplant The
Existing Game That Is Being Played Today. Patent Pending; Number
60/654786
The invention should be of great interest to the public and
especially, to the many millions, who are watching on several channels, the
"Hold'Em" Poker Tournaments, almost daily, day and night. The interest is so
intense that even NBC is coming out with their own Poker Tournament Show.
Obviously, the invention has to be of even greater interest to the estimated
fifty to sixty million poker players, in the US alone.
This version of
"Hold'Em" could plausibly, and virtually, "revolutionize" the "Hold'Em World"
And could quickly supplant the existing game, as it is very beneficial to the
players, and equally, good for the Gaming Establishments. Simply because their
total "rake" from each hand played, could double or even surpass it. This is
subject to the approval of The Control Commission, of course. The "extra rake"
is the result of an Optional element in the game, which makes it possible.
Moreover, the pots will be, substantially bigger and thus, permits the
house to "rake" the maximum allowed, from nearly every hand, even in the smaller
games, such as, in the $2 and $4 game.
Here is why the new version is
better for the players:
In the existing game, the players have only five
community cards to select from and, if they don’t make it on the river, (the
fifth and final card), that’s the “end of the line”. They are allowed to use one
card from the hand, and four cards from the board or even all five community
cards and none from the hand. The game is more like a "Mini Lottery" of a sort,
rather than a poker game.
In the new version, a maximum of only three
cards may be used from the board and two cards from the hand, thus making the
face-down cards much more valuable. This reduces the pot splits dramatically,
which is time consuming, allowing more hands to be dealt. Furthermore, in the
new version, the board consists of six cards, dealt in three flops of two cards
each. This means the chance of improving the hand, doubles, simply because the
board has one more card, compared to the existing game.
One more reason
for the new game being even better, the players may opt to "Buy-A-Card" and the
price of this is determined by the Casino; Giving them one last chance to
swiftly turn a losing hand into a winning one. This option is beneficial to the
Casino as well, as the inventor suggests an additional "rake" of one, or two
dollar (depending on the stakes) from EACH buy. It's important to mention here,
that the number of bets in the new game, is the same as in the existing game.
Four bets.
In the existing game the "drop-outs" are very likely after
the flop, making the pots smaller, in many hands. Not so, in the new game,
because the players tend to stay in the hand to the end, assuming the first or
the second flop or both, are favorable, as the last exposure in the board,
consists of two cards, instead of one, in the existing game. It is conceivable
and logical that four of a kind hand may be made on the third
flop.
Delineated below, are some dramatized examples as to why the
"Triple-Flop Hold'Em" is far better for the players.
A player has pocket
aces or, kings and the first flop gives him or her, three of a kind, but that
player can’t make a full house. Another player is holding a "3" and, the board
is "ace, king, 2, 4, 5". He or she, loses to a five-high straight, or possibly
to a flush, with 4 cards of the same suit in the “common cards” (or widow, as
it's called sometimes) and a flush is made by someone holding the 5th card of
the same suit.
Here is another example, which is just as bad. A player
has a king and queen of spades and they open three spades on the flop. One more
spades card opens up on the turn or the river. Another player is holding the ace
of spades to make an ace-high flush. The player who made a king-high flush, on
the flop, is flushed “down the drain”. How would you like to be in this position
? Lose with a king-high flush. This, naturally, could not happen in the new
game.
One last example. A player is dealt an ace and a king. The flop
makes him or her, aces and deuces, as the flop is, an ace and two deuces. The
turn is a "3" and the river is also a "3". The aces up hand “goes up in smoke”,
because someone having one lousy deuce or a lousy "3", again, “steals” the pot,
with a full house, because he or she is allowed to use both deuces and both
"3’s", to make a full house. How does it feel, if you had "aces up" on the flop,
and wind up losing a big pot ? Because four cards may be used from the board or,
even none, of course.
