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. You can usually find Pickem Poker on the multi-game machines in casinos, the ones where you determine which game you're going to play by touching a screen and choosing. What's interesting about the game is that it has more in common with stud poker than draw poker, and it has a potentially tremendous payout percentage - 99.95 percent if played with perfect strategy. 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. After the deal you can see four cards as the top cards of the sets of cards on the right are up. You can’t throw away the cards on the left. These cards can’t be thrown away during the game. But you have to decide which of the right sets of cards you want to hold. The other two cards of the tree-card stack will be turned up as soon as you decide which one to hold. In fact this fact determines the outcome of the game. You have to make a right choice. Two cards on the left and a stack of three cards you have left on the right form a hand. Draw Poker Secrets.
