Hello to all. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, as well as share my concept-which my startup now has pat. pending. Although this is my first post I have been a long time reader of 2+2 and have benefited greatly from it as a learning resource. We as a company ( Trip Kings Ent. LTD.) would greatly appreciate feedback on our invention, which we will be launching this year at g2e. The game is called Dual Holdem, and below is a marketing oriented description of the game.
What is Dual Holdem?
Dual Holdem is an ingenious way of allowing players to play two hands at a time, at the same table, be it in live games, online or at electronic tables. As the game becomes more popular, the thirst for action and involvement grows. For established poker players Dual Holdem is so simple and intuitive, that they may not even require directions to play it, but just for fun, here they are:
Players are dealt two starting hands from separate decks, that have different coloured backs. Players have two separate stacks of chips for betting on each of these hands.
Action moves in the normal fashion clockwise from the button, whereby each player acts for both his or her starting hands on the coloured area, in any order.
Community cards are then dealt from both decks onto a designated coloured areas on the table, and the action then once again continues in the traditional fashion
.The only difference being there is twice as much going on.
Why Dual Holdem?
As Holdem poker becomes more popular, Dual Holdem is a natural solution and evolution of the game. Dual Holdem expands the limitations of live games, and enhances the experience, profitability and overall enjoyment of online and electronic tables. It should be clear why Dual Holdem is the next big thing in poker, but below is a summary of why you should not delay to operate Dual Holdem.
50%* More hands per hour at live tables, and hence increased rake.
