Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for playing and managing a card game are described. The card game is known as “Pick Poker” and incorporates elements of traditional poker with that of paramutual wagering. A pool of common Community Cards are dealt, and players select their preferred starting hand from that pool of Community Cards. Subsequently, a pool of common Replacement Cards are dealt, and players complete a 5 card poker hand from the Replacement Cards. Each player's final poker hand consists of the cards they chose from the Community Cards in addition to cards selected from the Replacement Cards. Players with the best hand (as determined by the rules of the game) are awarded a at least some of the pot. In some versions, multiple players each having the best hand obtain equal shares of the pot.
