What is four-card poker?
In four-card poker, all players are pitted against the house, according to Upswing Poker.
“As the name implies, four-card poker is a card game where each player tries to make the best four-card poker hand according to standard poker hand rankings,” the poker training platform said.
“In each hand, all players get five cards, while the dealer gets five cards face down and a sixth card face up,” Upswing Poker explained. “If a player’s best possible four-card hand beats the dealer’s hand, that player wins.”
Four-of-a-kind is the highest-ranking hand, Upswing Poker said, followed by a straight flush.
