Dealer's choice is a style of poker where each player may deal a different variant. As the deal passes clockwise around the table, each player chooses a variant which is either played just for the current hand or for an entire orbit. It is a common choice for home games, where the tone of the game is usually more recreational than competitive. Dealer's choice games often break from the typical forms of poker through the use of wild cards, burn cards, and kill cards in addition to variations on betting structure. The majority of the dealer's choice poker games were derived from children's games such as Chase the Ace and 7/27.
Famous quotes containing the word choice:
“The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a trull with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
