Red dog poker II

September 22nd, 2008

Red dog poker game has a simple playing format and begins with a player receiving two face up cards after he has put his wager in the pot. The value of the cards, the suits are irrelevant in this game, determine the result of the game and there can be three possible outcomes.

In case the two cards dealt are consecutive such as a queen and a king card, a 5 and a 6 card, the player’s hand is declared to be a push and the bet he has posted is returned to him. If the two cards turn out to be a pair, the third card is dealt to the player. If the third card’s value is also the same as the other two cards, the player is entitled to a huge payout of 11:1. If the third card has a different value the hand is again considered as a push.

The excitement of the game of Red dog poker mounts when the difference in value of the two cards dealt to the player happens to be greater than one, for example when he gets a 5 and a jack card. This results in a spread that will give a payout to the player after the third card is dealt. The spread operates such that if the difference between the two initial cards is one the payout is 5-to-1, if the gap is of two payout is 4-to-1, for a difference of three the payout is 2-to-1 and in case the gap is for four or more, payout value is 1-to-1. After the third card is dealt, if its value lies in between the first two cards, the player is entitled for the spread. Otherwise the player loses the bet. To make the payout more alluring, players can chose to double their bet size before the third card is dealt.

Red dog poker game is played with luck and no strategy and even when eight card decks are used, no effect on luck is observed.
