If you’re looking for a fun and exciting poker game to play with your friends, then Pass the Trash Poker may be just the game for you! This game is also known as “Anaconda” or “Screw Your Neighbor”.
It’s easy to learn, but can be quite challenging and unpredictable. In this tutorial, we’ll explain how to play Pass the Trash Poker step-by-step.
Step 1: Gather Your Players
To start playing Pass the Trash Poker, you need at least 3 players. However, it’s more fun to play with a larger group of people. You’ll also need a standard deck of 52 cards.
Step 2: Deal the Cards
The dealer shuffles the deck and deals three cards face-down to each player. The dealer then deals one card face-up in the middle of the table. This card is called the “community card”.
Step 3: Look at Your Cards
Each player looks at their three cards and decides whether they want to keep them or “pass them” to the player on their left. The objective of the game is to have the best hand possible, so players should keep their best cards.
Step 4: Pass Your Cards
Starting with the player on the dealer’s left, each player can choose to pass one or two of their cards facedown to their left-hand neighbor (the person next to them). After all players have passed their cards, everyone will have four cards in front of them: three face-down and one face-up.
Step 5: Bet Round One
The first round of betting begins with the player who has the highest-ranked face-up card. This player can choose to check (not bet), bet or fold. The action then moves clockwise around the table.
Step 6: Turn Over Your First Facedown Card
After the first round of betting, each player turns over their first face-down card. This is where the game gets interesting! Players can now use any of their four cards to make the best five-card poker hand possible.
Step 7: Bet Round Two
The second round of betting begins with the player who has the highest-ranked poker hand made up of their two face-up cards and one face-down card.
Step 8: Turn Over Your Second Facedown Card
After the second round of betting, each player turns over their second face-down card. This is where things get even more interesting! Players can now use any of their five cards to make the best five-card poker hand possible.
Step 9: Bet Round Three
The third and final round of betting begins with the player who has the highest-ranked poker hand made up of their two face-up cards and two face-down cards.
Step 10: Showdown
If there are still two or more players remaining after the final round of betting, a showdown occurs. The player with the best five-card poker hand wins!
That’s it! You now know how to play Pass the Trash Poker.
This game is great for social gatherings or parties, as it allows for a lot of interaction and friendly competition. Have fun playing and good luck!
