NO RIVER HOLD 'EM POKER
Introduction
No River Holdem is one of the most strategic and exciting Hold 'em variants there is. Similar to Texas Hold' em, No River Holdem's rules may be complex, but they're all the more rewarding for it.
How to play
No River Hold 'em is played with the classic 52-card deck and follows the basic rules of Texas Hold 'em. The difference between Texas Hold 'em and No River is that each player is dealt three "hole" cards (rather than the usual two) and there is no community "river" card dealt. Players are able to use 1, 2, or all 3 cards originally dealt toward their final hand. By dealing three cards to each player, the number of potential starting hands increases — the same goes for the pre-flop action at the table!
