Splitsville
Four hole cards split into two two-card hands before the flop, then played on one shared board with standard Hold'em-style betting and showdown.
How it works
At showdown, hands are ranked as in Texas Hold'em. The best hand wins the hand; ties split. Side pots apply if anyone is all-in for less.
Rules
- Each player is dealt 4 hole cards face down.
- Five community cards are dealt in stages: 3 on the flop, then the turn, then the river.
- Before the flop, you split your 4 cards into two 2-card hands. Each hand uses the board under Texas rules.
- The best hand wins the hand. Ties split.
- Jokers, when enabled, are wild and can represent any card to complete your hand.
- If two or more players remain all-in before the board is complete, the table is offered run-it-twice (everyone must agree).
Dealer's options
- Jokers — 0, 1, or 2 wild jokers can be added to the deck.
- Turn style — Standard (1 turn card) or Double Turn (2 turn cards, for a 6-card board).
- Betting — No Limit or Pot Limit (max additional chips this action is 3 × last bet + pot).
