Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.

Twin Beds Roll Em Over
Twin Beds Roll Em Over Twin Beds Roll Em Over is probably the most exciting Draw Texas Hold'em Poker Spit in the Ocean variation. The rolling adds lots of spice to the game, as well as four more rounds of betting. The game is best for eight players and is played like standard Draw Texas Hold'em Poker with the following exceptions. After each player has received his five-card hand, ten community cards are dealt face down onto the center of the table arranged in two five-card horizontal rows as shown below.
Ten Community Cards
Ten Community Cards The first community card of each row (the 1 and 6 in illustration above) is turned up on completion of the deal and the leader is first to speak. He may check or bet. After the first betting interval, the second community cards of each row are turned up and the player to the left of the leader speaks first. This procedure is continued until all ten community cards are turned face up. After all the community cards are face up and after the fifth betting interval is completed, the rolling begins. Each player selects one card of his five-card hand, and when all players are ready, the card is faced up. In the earlier betting intervals the first to speak is determined by table position. However, after each player's card has been rolled, high card bets first. This procedure continues until four cards have been turned over by each player, leaving each player with one closed card. After the final betting interval (and before the showdown) a simultaneous declaration of high or low or both is made by each active player. The last raiser declares first. If no raise has taken place on the last round, the player who started the last betting round declares first. To make the best high or low hand the player may use from one to five cards from one row with his five dealt cards. However, if you call both ways, you are permitted to make the high hand from one row with your own hand and your low hand from the other row with your own hand. I repeat—in no instance are you allowed to use cards from both rows to create a high or low hand. (For the rules governing simultaneous declarations and rank of low hands, see General Rules for Online Hold'em Poker, pages 43-47.)
