New Triple-Flop "Hold'Em" Poker Game Could Supplant the Existing Game, Which Has Been Around For Decades

(PRWEB) March 10, 2005 -- A New Version Of "Hold'Em" Poker May Supplant The Existing Game That Is Being Played Today. Patent Pending; Number 60/654786

The invention should be of great interest to the public and especially, to the many millions, who are watching on several channels, the "Hold'Em" Poker Tournaments, almost daily, day and night. The interest is so intense that even NBC is coming out with their own Poker Tournament Show. Obviously, the invention has to be of even greater interest to the estimated fifty to sixty million poker players, in the US alone.

This version of "Hold'Em" could plausibly, and virtually, "revolutionize" the "Hold'Em World" And could quickly supplant the existing game, as it is very beneficial to the players, and equally, good for the Gaming Establishments. Simply because their total "rake" from each hand played, could double or even surpass it. This is subject to the approval of The Control Commission, of course. The "extra rake" is the result of an Optional element in the game, which makes it possible.

Moreover, the pots will be, substantially bigger and thus, permits the house to "rake" the maximum allowed, from nearly every hand, even in the smaller games, such as, in the $2 and $4 game.

Here is why the new version is better for the players:
In the existing game, the players have only five community cards to select from and, if they don?t make it on the river, (the fifth and final card), that?s the ?end of the line?. They are allowed to use one card from the hand, and four cards from the board or even all five community cards and none from the hand. The game is more like a "Mini Lottery" of a sort, rather than a poker game.

In the new version, a maximum of only three cards may be used from the board and two cards from the hand, thus making the face-down cards much more valuable. This reduces the pot splits dramatically, which is time consuming, allowing more hands to be dealt. Furthermore, in the new version, the board consists of six cards, dealt in three flops of two cards each. This means the chance of improving the hand, doubles, simply because the board has one more card, compared to the existing game.

One more reason for the new game being even better, the players may opt to "Buy-A-Card" and the price of this is determined by the Casino; Giving them one last chance to swiftly turn a losing hand into a winning one. This option is beneficial to the Casino as well, as the inventor suggests an additional "rake" of one, or two dollar (depending on the stakes) from EACH buy. It's important to mention here, that the number of bets in the new game, is the same as in the existing game. Four bets.

In the existing game the "drop-outs" are very likely after the flop, making the pots smaller, in many hands. Not so, in the new game, because the players tend to stay in the hand to the end, assuming the first or the second flop or both, are favorable, as the last exposure in the board, consists of two cards, instead of one, in the existing game. It is conceivable and logical that four of a kind hand may be made on the third flop.

Delineated below, are some dramatized examples as to why the "Triple-Flop Hold'Em" is far better for the players.

A player has pocket aces or, kings and the first flop gives him or her, three of a kind, but that player can?t make a full house. Another player is holding a "3" and, the board is "ace, king, 2, 4, 5". He or she, loses to a five-high straight, or possibly to a flush, with 4 cards of the same suit in the ?common cards? (or widow, as it's called sometimes) and a flush is made by someone holding the 5th card of the same suit.

Here is another example, which is just as bad. A player has a king and queen of spades and they open three spades on the flop. One more spades card opens up on the turn or the river. Another player is holding the ace of spades to make an ace-high flush. The player who made a king-high flush, on the flop, is flushed ?down the drain?. How would you like to be in this position ? Lose with a king-high flush. This, naturally, could not happen in the new game.

One last example. A player is dealt an ace and a king. The flop makes him or her, aces and deuces, as the flop is, an ace and two deuces. The turn is a "3" and the river is also a "3". The aces up hand ?goes up in smoke?, because someone having one lousy deuce or a lousy "3", again, ?steals? the pot, with a full house, because he or she is allowed to use both deuces and both "3?s", to make a full house. How does it feel, if you had "aces up" on the flop, and wind up losing a big pot ? Because four cards may be used from the board or, even none, of course.
