In comparison with traditional video poker games Pick’em Poker is a newer and unusual video poker game. 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. As you know you receive five cards in other video poker games, but in the case with Pick'em Poker you will receive 8 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. 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 rest of the two down cards will be exposed as soon as you decide which stack you want 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. Multi-Hand Stud Poker Advice.
