• providing each one of many players with at least two playing card designations randomly generated from a source of 52 separate playing card designations corresponding to a standard 52 card deck of playing cards in a format that is visible to each one of the players wherein each player's combination of at least two playing card designations is different than all of the other players' combined at least two playing card designations even though each player may have some of the at least two playing card designations identical to some of the at least two playing card designations of at least one of the other players to thereby avoid having any two players of the many players playing the poker game having all of the at least two playing card designations being exactly the same;
• and
• randomly selecting at least three playing card designations from a source of 52 separate playing card designations corresponding to a standard 52 card deck of playing cards to be used as common community cards to thereby create a best winning five card poker hand for at least one of the players from a combination of the common community cards and the at least two playing card designations of at least one player.
