Tired of pure Texas Hold ‘Em? Spice up your game with these variations!

Everybody loves Texas Hold ‘Em. And with good reason: there’s no purer, more action-packed version of poker in the world. But when you’re ready to mix things up a little bit, try one of these variations of the classic Hold ‘Em format:

Eight Ball Hold ‘em.
This game is played the same as standard 7-card Texas Hold ‘em except that all players receive 3 hole cards at the beginning of the game (instead of 2).
Pineapple. The same game as above, with the exception that before the hand begins, each player must discard one of their 3 hole cards. After that, the game plays the same as standard Hold ‘em.
Tahoe. Another variation on the Eight Ball game. In this version, players keep all 3 hole cards, but at the end of the game, can only use two of the three cards to make their hand (with the community cards).

Double Flop Hold ‘em.
In this wacky game, two sets of community cards are flopped throughout the course of the game. Players can use either of the sets of community cards (but not both) and do not reveal which one they are using until all bets are called at the end of the game.
