Pick'em Poker is a newer and more unusual variety of video poker, at least compared to the more traditional games of Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild. Pick'em Poker is very like stud poker. But the main feature of the game is a payout, which is 99.95 percent. Instead of receiving five cards like you would normally receive in most other video poker games, you receive eight cards. Two of the cards are face up on the left, and then there are two stacks of three cards each on the right. The upper cards of the two sets of cards on the right are face up. You have to hold the two cards on the left. Those cards are yours to keep until the end of the hand. Now you have to choose a three-card stack you want to hold or to throw away. The other two cards of the tree-card stack will be turned up as soon as you decide which one to hold. In fact the main objective is to choose which stack of cards you want to hold. Two cards on the left and a stack of three cards you have left on the right form a hand. Casino Stud Poker Tap.
