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:
“Then did they strive with emulation who should repeat most wise maxims importing the necessity of suspicion in the choice of our friends—such as “mistrust is the mother of security,” with many more to the same effect.... But notwithstanding the esteem which they professed for suspicion, yet did they think proper to veil it under the name of caution.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
