This application is based on and claims the benefit of U.S. Ser. No. 12/807,966 filed Sep. 17, 2010 entitled “One Two Three Poker.”

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the general field of conventional poker games, Chinese poker game, modified poker game such as Pai Gow poker and Wild Deuce (also called Da Lao Ear) and Asian poker.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The game of Asian Poker, often referred to Thirteen Cards Poker, Wild Deuce often referred to Chinese Poker and a two hands poker, named Pai Gow Poker that is modified from 13 cards poker.

Pai Gow Poker is dealing both player and dealer seven cards, and required the seven cards arranged into two hands, a two-card hand called low hand and a five-card hand called high hand; the low hand must be of a lower rank than the high hand. The ranking of the hands are the same as in conventional poker ranking of the hands with the exception that the joker can be used to represent an ace or to represent one card of either a straight or a flush. Because of the use of a joker, five aces is the highest possible hand.

The game is started by each player placing a bet (ante). The house dealer then deals seven cards to himself and each of six players. The player is allowing play as the banker to play against to other players and house dealer when house dealer is not banking.

The rules of the game are (1) both dealer and players have to form his low hand and his high hand respectively based on the ranking system, the rank of five cards hand should higher in rank than the two cards hand; (2) player should win both low hand and high hand in order to win the game; (3) when both player and dealer have the same rank of two cards hand or five cards hand, dealer wins the hand; (4) when both player and dealer win one hand and lose one hand, it is called a “push”; a “push” is declared and no one wins; (5) if a player wins both hands, the bet made is matched, an even money bet is paid, less a commission of typically 5%.

Thirteen Cards Poker is dealing both player and dealer thirteen cards, and required the thirteen cards arranged into three hands, a two-card hand called low hand and a five-card hand called medium hand and a five-card hand called high hand; the low hand must be of a lower rank than the medium hand and high hand, the medium hand must be of a lower rank then high hand. The ranking of the hands are the same as in conventional poker ranking of the hands. Thirteen cards poker is using a deck of 52 playing cards without joker that limiting the number of player to four players.

Wild Deuce is a poker game required player using traditional poker ranking to get rid of all the cards in his/her hand; the player who gets rid of all 13 cards first wins the game. It starts with a maximum of four players; each player is dealt 13 cards, who has a spade deuce should show off to the other players and gets the right to throw away any number of cards from a minimum of one card up to a maximum of five cards in his/her hand first. The players estimate the chance of get rid of all 13 cards in his/her hand based on the ranking of cards and formation of poker hands; who eliminates a higher ranking card or higher poker hand, who will take over the lead and decide how many cards to throw away next until any other player come out any suited single card or higher formation of poker hand has a higher rank than his/her card or cards. When there is no one has a higher rank card or higher rank of formation, the same person will show the deuce and change the number of cards to eliminate, or any one has a deuce will take over the lead. In thirteen card poker the pattern of playing also is ranked, spade is higher than heart, heart is higher than diamond, and diamond is higher than club. Deuce is a winning card.

Other poker games such as, Caribbean Stud, Let It Ride, Three cards poker, and Four Card poker, etc. provides a better betting strategy, such as, bonus, ante and play. But, players have no control of how to play the hand as playing Asian poker and Chinese poker. The video poker games often offer players a chance to improve their hand by requiring players throw away the cards they don't want and hold the cards they want.
