Double Flop in Holdem
Poker
Double flop in Texas holdem is played like the regular holdem but with an additional community cards. It is a variation of Texas holdem where you deal out two separate boards or community cards. Each player is still dealt out two hold cards to make their hands, but they will get to make two separate hands to play, one for each set of community cards. Double Flop game uses only one 52-card deck, so use that to your advantage. Knowing what isn't in another player's hand is very valuable.
Double flop is played with two cards being dealt to each player. Then the first round of betting is made. Two flops will be dealt at the center of the table and another betting round takes place. After that two turn cards are dealt and followed by another round of betting. Then two river cards will be dealt face up. There should be a total of ten community cards dealt face up in two rows.
Now each player makes his/her best hand for each row and the pot is split between the winning hands r each board. It is possible for one person to win both hands and scoop the whole pot, too. You can't mix and match the rows, but you will make your best hand for each row using your two hole cards plus the five on the board. If your two hole cards make the best hand on both rows.
In double flop holdem a player in order to win must look for hands that will allow you to scoop the pot. This means that suited card are great, but lower suited connectors and medium to small pairs decline considerably in value.
Always remember that since you are working with one deck, cards that appear on one row will not be appearing on the other or in the hands of your opponents. Keep in mind to use this information to your advantage.
