The Rules for Double-Board Holdem Poker.

Community Card Poker Games

Double-Board Holdem Poker

These are the Double-Board Holdem Poker rules. Double-Board Holdem Poker involves a split-pot poker game rule variation that can be applied to many poker games (but which is generally only applied to normal Holdem poker games).

In Double-Board Holdem Poker games, two separate five-card boards are dealt, and the high poker hand using each board takes half of the pot. For example, after the first poker betting round in a Double-Board Holdem Poker game, three community cards are dealt to each of two separate boards; after the second poker betting round, another community card is dealt to each board; and before the final poker betting round, a fifth community card is dealt to each board (so there will be in total ten community cards, comprising two separate five-card Double-Board Holdem Poker boards).

Each player in the Double-Board Holdem Poker game, makes the best poker hand that he can using each of the boards. The poker players with the high poker hand for each board split the pot.

Double-Board Holdem Poker games, like most split poker games, are fun in that players win more often since there are usually two winners in each poker game (unless someone scoops the pot). Double-Board Holdem Poker games are often played in home poker games.
