How do I play online?

In 6-card poker, a player can play four boxes, but an “open” game can only be played on one or two boxes. The bet on the second “open” box cannot be higher than on the first box. The bonus bet can be placed on any of the boxes.

The minimum bet and maximum payout are clearly stated for each game table, there is no maximum bet. If you play on more than one box, ante amounts cannot be 5 times the amount or less than each other.

The player is allowed to exchange one, two or five cards in 6-card poker. He can also buy a sixth card. The cost of buying or swapping is 1 ANTE. If the purchase or replacement does not improve the player’s hand, he may discard cards and lose ANTE.

The dealer qualifies with a pair of twos or better. If the dealer qualifies but the player’s hand is higher, the BET is paid out according to the standard payout table and ANTE is paid out 1: 1. If the dealer does not qualify, only ANTE is paid out.

If the dealer does not qualify, the player may forfeit the winnings equal to ANTE and replace the dealer’s high card instead. ANTE is removed from the box as payment for this exchange. If the dealer is still ineligible after the exchange, the ANTE is not returned to the player and is not paid.

Basic rules of six-card poker

Before the cards are dealt in 6-card poker, the player chooses which boxes he wants to play on and bets ANTE. In addition to the main bet on the box (or instead of it) the player can also make a bonus bet. With this bet the player bets on whether his initial hand will have a strong poker hand (three or better).

When playing multiple boxes, the first two boxes with ANTES are considered “open” and the rest are considered “blind”. The limitations associated with “blind” play are described in paragraph 15 . The bet on the second ‘open’ box cannot be higher than on the first. The bigger bet is always played first, regardless of its position on the table.

Each table shows the minimum ANTE and maximum payout on it. The maximum payout on both the base bet and the bonus bet is the same, and a player can get the maximum winnings on both bets at the same time. The minimum bonus bet is determined by the cheapest chip allowed at the table.

There are four pieces in each box: a circle, a square, an ellipse and a rectangle. ANTE is placed on the ellipse and the bonus bet is placed on the square. The bet is placed on the rectangle (see Paragraphs 8 and 9 ). A special marker with the number 6 is placed on the circle when a player purchases the 6th card (see Paragraph 8 )

To place a bet in 6-card Poker the player must first choose a chip with a desired value. At the beginning of the game this chip is chosen by default and the chip with the minimum value is fixed at the cursor. If the player wants a chip with a different denomination, he can select it by clicking on this chip with the cursor. The player can also use the scroll wheel on his mouse to change the value of the chip. Once the chip is selected the player can place a bet by clicking on the desired part of the game board and his bet will appear there. Each subsequent click adds another chip of the chosen value to the bet. If the player wants to remove the last chip from his bet, he can remove the chip attached to the cursor by clicking on any empty part of the playing window. and then clicking on this bet.

The “Clear” button can be clicked to remove all bets from the table. If the player wants to repeat his bets from the previous hand, he can press the “Bet again” button. The “Deal” button starts the game after all bets are placed.

When dealing, the dealer lays his last card face up. Then consecutive play begins on the boxes. The cards on the first box are dealt, after which the result of the bonus bet is determined. The payout for this bet is shown in Table 1 .

After looking at his cards, the player has four choices:

  • buy a sixth card (“Buy” button);
  • Exchange one, two or five cards (he must first select the unwanted cards with the cursor and then press the “Draw” button);
  • to raise the stake, i.e. to make the BET equal to the doubled ANTE (“BET” button);
  • discard the cards and lose ANTE (“Fold” button).

The cost of purchase or replacement is equal to 1 ANTE. After making a purchase or replacement, the player has two options:

  • Raise the BET (“Bet” button );
  • discard the cards and lose the ANTE (“Fold” button).

When the final decision on all boxes has been made, the dealer opens his cards. If the dealer qualifies, his combination is compared with the combinations on the boxes remaining in play. If the dealer has a higher combination, the player loses ANTE and BET. If the player’s combination is equal to the dealer’s combination, the game ends in a draw and ANTE and BET bets are returned to the player. If a player has a higher combination, ANTE is paid 1: 1 and the payout is determined according to

If the dealer doesn’t qualify in 6-card stud poker, the player can receive his winnings on all of the boxes by clicking the “Continue” button. In this case all ANTS will be paid out 1:1 and no BETS will be paid out. The player may also exchange the dealer’s card. In this case, the dealer’s high card is exchanged and he may receive a qualifying hand as a result. This exchange is beneficial when the player has a high poker hand, as it gives the player a chance to significantly increase his winnings. the dealer’s highest card, the player presses ANTE on the box. Once the box is clicked, the chips will darken and will be removed from the box as an exchange payment after the player clicks “Continue” .

Once a player has selected all the boxes he wishes to participate in the exchange, he continues the game by pressing the “Continue” button . Before pressing this button, it is possible to cancel the dealer’s card exchange request by clicking on the ANTE box a second time.

Once the Continue button is clicked, the game ends on those boxes where there was no exchange request. If an exchange was requested on any of the boxes, the dealer’s highest card is exchanged. If the dealer’s hand then complies, the final results are determined on all of the boxes remaining in play. This corresponds to point 10 , except for the fact that in this case ANTE is missing and it has been removed from the table as an exchange fee ( point 11 ). If the croupier wins, the player only loses his BET. If the player wins, he will receive a payment on the BET as well as on the ANTE (even if there is no ANTE on the table).

If after exchanging the dealer’s card it still doesn’t fit, the hand ends. ANTE is not paid, and the BET is returned to the player.

In blind play, the player’s options are limited. He cannot discard, buy or replace his cards. Raising is mandatory, and the BET is automatically added to the ANTE. As usual, the BET is equal to double. ANTE.

Cards dealt in “blind” boxes are opened after the player has made a final decision on the “open” boxes. As in an “Open” game, the player is allowed

  • place a bonus bet
  • To exchange the dealer’s high card.

During the draw, the player may receive hints reminding him of the rules of the game. Players can override these hints in the settings.

For players’ convenience any changes made to the settings will be saved in the player’s browser settings. If a player closes a game session and then opens a new game session, their settings will automatically be restored.

Rules

Six card poker is a type of poker played one-on-one against the dealer. The aim of the game is to win by having a better poker hand of five cards than the dealer using six cards.

The game uses one standard deck of 52 cards. The game uses the standard poker rules for scoring and comparing hands.

To start, the player bets an ante.

The dealer deals six hole cards to the player. The dealer deals himself three hole cards and three hole cards.

The player checks his cards and must either fold his hand, losing an ante, or raise his bet by making an additional bet equal to his ante. Players cannot share information about their cards with other players.

The dealer opens his hole cards and compares his best five-card hand with the player’s best five-card hand. The dealer must qualify with an ace-king or higher.

If the dealer does not qualify, the player’s ante bet is a flush. An upside bet is allowed as follows:

  • If the dealer’s hand beats the player’s hand, the player loses his raise bet.
  • If the player’s hand beats the dealer’s hand, the player is paid 1 to 1 on his upside bet.
  • In the event of a tie, the player’s raised bet is considered a push.

If the dealer’s hand qualifies:

  • If the dealer’s hand beats the player’s hand, the player loses his Ante and raises his bet.
  • If the player’s hand beats the dealer’s hand, the player is paid 1 to 1 on his Ante and raise bet.
  • In case of a tie, the player’s Ante and Raise bets are shifted.
  • There are also two extra bets, Aces Up and Two-Way Bad Beat, which are described below.

Tournaments

A poker tournament is a tournament where players compete by playing poker . A tournament may consist of a minimum of two players at a single table (Heads-Up Tournament) and up to tens of thousands of players playing at thousands of tables. The winner of a tournament is usually the one who wins every poker chip in the game, with the rest getting places based on their elimination time. To facilitate this, in most tournaments the blinds are raised throughout the tournament. Unlike a regular game (or cash game), player’s tournament chips cannot be cashed in and are only used to determine a player’s place.

Six Card Poker tournaments are no exception and every tournament features this type of game, as it is loved by millions of players around the world.

Winning the game

The following table shows the odds. The zeros for the probability and return of a losing straight flush are not an error. The probability is about 1 in 25 trillion. This situation was the basis of the movie “Honeymoon in Vegas”, but I’m getting away from the subject. The bottom right cell of the table below shows a casino advantage of 10.84%.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Affordable

In most cases, playing poker online is cheaper than in casinos or other venues. This is due to the lack of overhead costs that online casinos have to factor into their pricing structures. Players also save money as they don’t have to spend money on petrol or food when playing at home.

  • You play for your own pleasure

Another advantage of online casinos is that you can play poker anytime and anywhere as long as you have access to the internet. Players can enjoy poker the way they like, whether they are early birds or night owls, at home or on a long train ride.

  • Great variety

Online poker allows players to have a wide variety of tables from which to choose. Most sites offer dozens of tables to choose from, each suited to different playing styles and levels of difficulty.

  • Good bonuses

Many online casinos offer bonuses and rakeback. If you like gambling, this can be a great way to spend some pocket money!

  • No pressure

There’s less pressure to play online, and it can be less intimidating for newcomers. The world of online poker is an attractive community!

Cons of online poker

  • No ‘tips’.

Professional poker players are great at reading people’s faces and postures. When playing online poker this is not possible. If this is necessary for a player, online poker may not be the best choice for them. For other players who have cues that give them away quickly, online poker can lead to more winnings.

  • It can be addictive

As with many other online games, there is a risk of addiction for players. Since players can play anywhere and anytime, this should be considered by those who suffer from addiction. Understand yourself and your playing style before taking the plunge into online poker.

  • Minimal interaction

For some poker players, playing poker in a casino allows you to socialise and socialise. It can also be a way to meet new friends and have fun. For those who crave socializing, online poker may not be as appealing as the real game. However, when physical venues are closed due to COVID-19, the respite offered by online poker rooms is certainly better than isolation!
