ABSTRACT:
The standard game of Asia Poker is modified by dividing the seven cards dealt to each participant into three groups or hands rather than two, with the three groups containing four cards, two cards or one card, respectively. To win, a player must win on at least two of three hands, and because there are three hands rather than two, the number of tied hands or “pushes” is greatly reduced. Further, by providing that the dealer (whether the house(casino) or a customer acting as the banker) wins all ties or “copy hands,” such “pushes” can be completely eliminated.
