Abstract
A method of playing a succession of poker-type games where two cards are revealed in each of a plurality of hands. The cards in the hands remain the same for all of the games in the succession of games. After a player sees the hands, the player wagers on at least one of the hands. Three community cards are randomly chosen and revealed followed by a second round of wagering where the player must either raise or fold each hand wagered on in the previous wager round. The three community cards are part of each hand. Two more community cards are revealed and the winning hand is determined where each hand is a combination of the first two cards and the five community cards.
