Did you ever think you'd hear the term batter up in poker? Hi, my name is Dean Hale, poker
pro. And today I'm going to teach you how to play poker baseball. In poker baseball
it's very similar to a seven card stud game. Each player is going to be dealt initially
three cards. Two cards will be facing down; one card will be face up. Now in poker, in
poker baseball threes and nines are wild. They can be used as anything you want to use
them as. The other little distinct difference is if you are dealt a four you actually get
another card. So you will your initial ante, you will put the cards two down one up. You
would then make a bet. Knowing what your two hold cards are looking at your top card. At
that point in time you would then get dealt a fourth card face up. Again same thing applied,
threes and nines are wild they can be used as anything. If you've got a four, the four
gives you another card and when you get dealt a four you actually keep it face down so that
nobody else can see which is obviously a huge benefit to the game. Now as in seven card
stud you would continue. The betting rounds would go the exact same way, the fifth card
would be face up, the sixth card would be face up, the seventh card would be face down.
You then play to use your best five hand, your five card poker hand that you can to
make, to make your hand. Remember the reason nines are wild, so if you have two threes
and two nines and an ace you have five aces. That's not a bad hand. My name is Dean Hale
and I've just taught you a game called poker baseball.
