How to Play Kryky Poker

Kryky Poker is a game that combines the games of Texas Hold 'em Poker with Draw Poker. To add even more excitement to the game of Kryky Poker, there is a wild card as well. Only playrrs that stay in the hand without folding until the final card on the table is revealed will know what that wild card is, though. Players make their best five-card poker hands from their own hands, along with two community cards, in an attempt to win the pot in Kryky Poker.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Organize a home poker night at your house or a friend's house. Kryky Poker is a game that has elements of both skill and luck, so it can be appealing to many different poker fans. The only limitation to Kryky Poker is that it is limited to a small number of players. The minimum number of players for Kryky Poker is four and the maximum is seven. The ideal number of players for Kryky Poker is either five or six players.

2. Deal three cards face down to each player and two cards face up. Each player may look at his or her own face-down cards after paying an ante into the pot.

3. Conduct the first wagering round. This round is started by the player sitting to the left of the dealer.

4. Deal the first of two community cards face up into the center of the table. Conduct a second round of wagering, started by the player with the best face-up poker hand.

5. Allow each player to discard up to two cards from his or her own hand. If a player chooses to discard a face-down card, it must be replaced with a face-down card. Likewise, if a player discards a face-up card, it must be replaced by a face-up card. Conduct the third round of wagering, which is started by the player with the best face-up poker hand.

6. Flip over the second community card and conduct the fourth round of wagering. Start the wagering with the player that has the best face-up poker hand.

7. Deal a face-up card onto the table, away from the two community cards. This card determines the wild card in the hand. This card itself is not wild, only the cards that match it. Conduct a final wagering round, which is once again started by the player with the best face-up poker hand.

8. Reveal the cards and determine the winner. Each player that has not folded during the hand now reveals his cards and declares his poker hand. Each player can use any combination of his own five cards along with the two community cards to form his best poker hand. The best poker hand wins the entire pot.

Tips & Warnings

• If the wild card matches one of the two community cards, this means any player using that community card can use it as a wild card in her hand.
• Discarding face-up cards during the discard round allows your opponents to see two more cards from the deck in Kryky Poker. This gives your opponent's valuable information ,and that fact should be considered when a player makes her discard decision.
