Whiskey Poker at Its Best

Whiskey poker is an American version game and inspired from poker combinations. The method of gaming is totally different from the game of poker. Whiskey poker is very useful in terms of increasing proficiency at poker. This game is usually played at home when anxiously waiting for the main event to start. At whiskey poker every player gets five cards faced downward also called “widow” it is kept at the middle of the table. Who sits on the left of the dealer has a right to begin the proceeding. Players have 3 options pass, knock, and exchange. Suppose he has used the option “pass” then the subsequent also have the same options.

But if the next player has opt the option exchange then he is supposed to exchange his cards with the next player widow but without looking the widow then the replacement becomes the widow. If no one has exchanges at the end of first round the dealer might change the downward cards to upwards and the play continues. This was very popular in 19th century and at the beginning of 20th century but in this era it has looses much of his shine and not identified by much players. At that time there were many poker variants but whiskey poker was the most popular version.
