Royal Hold'em Poker Rules

Royal Hold'em Poker

This game of poker is a Texas Hold'em variation played with only 20 cards in the deck: A K Q J and 10 of each suit. Because of the card shortage Royal Hold'em can only be played by up to 6 players. In case of the maximum number of participants at the table all of the cards in the deck have to be used: 2 hole cards for each player, 5 community cards and 3 burned cards.

There are five possible Royal Hold'em card combinations: royal flush, four of a kind, full house, straight and two pair (the combinations are listed according to their strength). The other ones just do not count as any flush would at the same time be a straight and a royal flush. In the same way any set that the player might have would either turn into a straight or a full house. The worst-possible Royal Hold'em hand is 10-10-J-J-Q-Q-K which consists of two pairs with a king kicker.
