How to Play:
Courchevel
Description: In Courchevel Poker, the first round of betting takes place after the following preflop action. All players will have received their five hole cards, and the first community card revealed face up.
Once complete, two more community cards are placed face up to complete “the flop.” Another round of betting takes place, starting with the player closest to the left of the button.
Like in Hold’em and Omaha, the fourth community card is called “the turn”, and the fifth is “the river.” A round of betting follows each leading up to the “showdown” for all remaining players.
As in Omaha, Courchevel Poker requires players to make their best five-card hand. They must use two cards from their hand and three from the community cards.
Again, you have to use exactly two from your hand and three from the board to make a five-card hand.
That means if your hand is A♣A♦K♦K♠Q♠ and the board reads 3♣2♣10♣Q♣7♥, you do not have an ace-high flush.
To have that, you would be using one card from your hand and four from the community cards. That is not allowed.
Remember, you MUST use two from your hand and three from the board.
Whoever ends up with the best five-card hand wins the pot.
NOTE: Courchavel can also be played as a double board variation AND/OR a High/Low split game!
