Dealer's choice is a style of poker where each player may deal a different variant. As the deal passes clockwise around the table, each player chooses a variant which is either played just for the current hand or for an entire orbit. It is a common choice for home games, where the tone of the game is usually more recreational than competitive. Dealer's choice games often break from the typical forms of poker through the use of wild cards, burn cards, and kill cards in addition to variations on betting structure. The majority of the dealer's choice poker games were derived from children's games such as Chase the Ace and 7/27.
Famous quotes containing the word choice:
“Live a thousand years,
I shall not find myself so apt to die.
No place will please me so, no mean of death,
As here by Caesar, and by you cut off,
The choice and master spirits of this age.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
