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.

Teeko High-Low
Teeko High-Low This is a Spit in the Ocean creation of my son, John (Teeko). The game is played the same as standard Draw Texas Hold'em Poker except for the following. 1. Five cards are dealt to each player as in standard Draw Texas Hold'em Poker. After the dealer receives his fifth card, he deals four groups of three face-down community cards onto the center of the table in horizontal rows.
Twelve Community Cards
Twelve Community Cards 2. After the players pick up their cards and look at them, the first betting round takes place. 3. Next, the dealer turns the first three-card group face up to the dealer's left, and a second betting round takes place. He continues turning a group of three community cards face up followed with a betting round, as each row is faced up until the last row of three community cards has been turned face up and the fifth and final bet ting round has been completed. 4. A player must make use of three cards from his hand and two cards from one of the four three-card community groups resting on the table. However, if a player calls "high-low" he may use two cards from one group to help form his high hand and two cards from another group to help form his low hand. Straights and flushes are not con sidered as low.
