One of the new video poker variations is Pick’em Poker. Pick'em Poker has more similarities with stud poker and unlike any other video poker game it has an incredible payout – 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 no option to throw away the two 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 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. Internet Stud Poker Rules.
