One of the new video poker variations is Pick’em Poker. 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 these cards are placed face up on the left and two sets of three cards on the right. The top cards of the two right-handed stacks are up, so you can see a total of four cards after the deal. You have to hold the two cards on the left. You have to hold them till the end of the game. But you have to decide which of the right sets of cards you want to hold. When you select which stack you want to keep, the two cards dealt underneath the face up card are exposed, and your hand is made from the two cards on the left plus the three cards in the stack you kept. In fact the main objective is to choose which stack of cards you want to hold. The hand is formed of the two cards on the left and three cards you have left on the right. Classic Stud Poker Tips.
