Russian Revolution Poker Rules

Video Transcript

"One of the great things about poker variants especially with home games is you can make up your own rules. You can make up Steve's rule or Michelle's rule or Brian's rule well, I had finally come to a milestone carrier and I made up a rule for Russian Revolution, I call it the Rasputin rule. Rasputin changes the whole equation the way that it works is you play with the jokers, two jokers for every deck. A joker in the hole as one of the down cards is a wild card. So if you peek and you see a joker you have a wild card but if you get a joker as one of the up cards at last it kills your hand. So let's see how that works, it's stud game you deal two down cards to every player and then one up card, no drama yet. Let's look at some whole cards well, we have some interesting things going on here, no joker. There's a joker, jokers are wild if they are down a Rasputin is a wild here and we have three fives working, we're in good shape. We might of actually want to bet away but watch out Rasputin can come up and ruin things for you as well. Cause remember a joker up kills your hand and that is how you play with what I call the Rasputin rule, try it out if you like it."
