Texas Hold 'em Swap

Overview

The object is to make the best possible five-card hand using a combination of hole cards and five community cards.

Players are dealt two hole cards and will make a five-card hand using any combination of the cards from their hand and from the community cards. 

How To Play

• Each player is dealt two cards face down, starting with the player to the left of the dealer.

• There is a round of betting where each player can fold, call, or raise. Betting starts left of the dealer or left of the big blind.

• Community cards are dealt as a three card street (flop), a one card street (turn) and a one card street (river) with betting rounds following each street.  A "burn" card is dealt before each street.

• Once per deal when it is time for a player to act (bet, call, raise or fold), the player may replace one or both of their cards for a per card fee.  The fee often varies from street-to-street.
