How Do You Play the Drinking Game Poker?

Are you looking for a fun party game that combines the excitement of poker and drinking? Look no further than the drinking game Poker! This game is easy to learn, but can lead to hours of entertainment and lots of laughs.

To start, gather a group of friends and a deck of cards. The more people playing, the more fun it will be. Shuffle the deck and deal out five cards to each player.

The objective of Poker is to have the highest hand at the end of each round. The game consists of four rounds, with each round having different rules for betting and drinking.

Round 1: Ante Up
Before any cards are revealed, all players must place a predetermined amount of their drink into a central pot (the “ante”). This ensures that everyone has some skin in the game before they even look at their cards.

Round 2: High Card
Players reveal their top card to determine who has the highest card. The player with the highest card gets to choose who drinks (either themselves or another player). If there is a tie, those players must continue revealing cards until someone has the highest card.

Round 3: Three Card Poker
Each player discards two cards from their hand and keeps only three. Players then bet on who has the best three-card poker hand (using traditional poker rankings).

Once all bets are in, reveal your hands and determine who wins. The winner gets to choose one player to drink.

PRO TIP:Start with each player getting dealt five cards and the remaining cards are placed in the middle. The first player to start is chosen by random draw, then players take turns either drawing from the middle or exchanging cards with someone else. The goal is to make the best 5-card poker hand. If a player cannot make a better hand than the current leader, they must take a drink (or two if playing with higher stakes). Play continues around the table until all players have taken their turn, at which point the hands are revealed and whoever has the best hand wins!

Round 4: Five Card Poker
This is the final round where players use all five cards in their hand to create a traditional five-card poker hand (using standard poker rankings). Betting occurs as normal, with players choosing whether to fold, call or raise their bets. The winner gets to choose two players to drink.

Throughout each round, there are additional opportunities for players to drink. If a player folds their hand, they must take a drink.

If a player loses a bet, they must take a drink. And of course, the winners of each round get to choose other players to take drinks.

To keep things interesting and add an element of strategy, consider adding in wild cards or allowing players to trade cards with each other before each round.
