Flop poker

Abstract

Flop poker is played with each player making an ante bet and a pot bet at the start of the game. Each player is dealt three cards face down and the dealer deals three cards to a designated area on the table face down. Each player plays their hand and determines to stay in the hand by making the flop bet to see the flop cards or by folding the hand and surrendering the ante bet to the house and the pot bet to the player's pot. The players that remain in the game see the flop. All cards are revealed at the same time all at once. They use three cards from their hand and any two cards from the flop. No additional wagering is necessary to use the sixth card to make their best five card poker hand. Any hand that is determined to be a winner will win the house odds that are determined for that specific winning hand. The highest hand on the table also wins the players pot. The game concludes with the dealer revealing all players hands to search for the highest value rank of the poker hands on the table. This game uses a standard 52 card deck. All poker hands are ranked by the standard five card stud poker game. Pair, 2 pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, four of a kind, straight flush, and the royal flush. There are three betting options in flop poker, a pot bet where the players play against each other to win, the ante bet which will be paid even money by the casino if the hand is deemed a winner by house standards, and the flop bet that is paid the house odds by the casino if the hand is determined a winner by the house standards.
