House rules go by the person that is hosting the game. Our house rules stay the same from each home as we are friends and implemented these rules as we began playing consistently. Always find out what house rules are before you start playing. The person that haves the game at their home is the person that sets the house rules.
House rules consist of but are not limited to:
5 to 7 seven people play poker at one time. (preferably 5 in our games)
How many raises you can have after each card is dealt. (we have up to 3 raises)
Sometimes we have no limit it means you can raise as many times as you want.
Our house rules require you to make the initial bet while calling what game you are going to play.
Our rules also include 1 joker to only be used with aces straights and flushes. If you have a natural Pair or Three of a kind, Aces, Straight or Flush (The wild card used to create Aces, Straights or Flushes does not beat a natural hand. FYI-A natural hand is no wild card.
No cards leave the table at any time.
Dealer may call for a fresh deck when it is their turn.
Everyone bets in order.
If no one pays to see the hand then it is not shown.
The person on the right cuts and the dealer deals to the left.
The Ace can be played as Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5 or at the end 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace.
House rules can vary some from game to different people so make sure you understand them. This for respect and to deter any arguments later in the game when someone jumps up and says someone is cheating. As I said we have a lot of fun playing poker and the rules are embedded in our heads so we just know them. We can relax and a great time and play POKER.
