How to Play Push Poker
Sometimes the game of poker involves a little too much luck for a player's liking. In the Push Poker variation, players have an opportunity to turn down the first card offered to them in four different rounds. This reduces the role of luck slightly in the game and gives a player a greater chance to get the card he wants to complete his hand. The winner of Push Poker is based on traditional poker rules, with the highest hand winning the entire pot.

Flip over the top card of the deck of cards and offer it to the player sitting to the left of the dealer.

Continue in a clockwise rotation once around the table. If a player had a card pushed to him from the opponent sitting to his right, he can either accept that card, or push it to the next player to the left and pay the penalty of 5 times the lowest chip value into the pot. If the player pushes, he receives the top card from the draw deck. If the dealer chooses to push, he pays the 5 times the lowest chip value penalty into the pot and draws the top card from the playing deck. The card the dealer pushed is removed from the game, it is not pushed to the player on his left.

Tips & Warnings
In the exchange round, each player can either exchange zero, or one card, but no more than one card for a new card from the deck.
The cost for exchanging a card in the exchange round can be quite high. If nobody is exchanging cards due to the cost, consider reducing that cost to an agreeable amount among the players.
