Four Card Poker
Choose the best four cards from a five-card deal.
How to play
- 01
Deal five private cards to each challenger.
- 02
Choose four cards. Rank them: four of a kind, straight flush, three of a kind, flush, straight, two pair, pair, high card.
- 03
For equal categories compare ranks, then remaining kickers. A-K-Q-J is the highest straight and A-2-3-4 the lowest.
- 04
Compare challengers directly. The club format omits the casino’s six-card dealer hand, raises and bonus paytables.
Equal four-card hands push; replay.
Standard five-card high-poker rankings
Royal flush → straight flush → four of a kind → full house → flush → straight → three of a kind → two pair → one pair → high card.
Compare the rank of the made combination first, then kickers from highest downward. Suits are equal. Aces can be high or low in a straight, but cannot wrap around. Short Deck, lowball, Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker and Poker Dice use their own rankings.
AFTER THE GAME
Cards down. Phones up.
The winner proposes the agreed collaboration share on the loser’s first qualifying prospect. Both call counters start at zero. The loser can cancel the proposed split by completing the agreed redemption challenge before its cutoff. The actual work and contribution still determine earned credit.
