Knock poker is a variation of poker that is played with a pre-flop bet. The game is often called “knock,” “seven card knock,” or “seven card stud.” In knock, the player must either make or defend a pre-flop bet with at least one card, depending on the variant being played.
If the player can make the bet and show an Ace, they win the hand. If they can’t make the bet, they lose the hand. .
To play this game, you will need some cards and some money. The game is played with a standard 52-card deck, but all of your cards are wild (jokers are not wild).
There are three different ways to bet in Knock: pot, high, or low. Pot is when you bet all of your chips; high is when you bet one-third of your chips; and low is when you bet one-sixteenth of your chips.
To play Knock, each player starts by flipping over two cards. This is called starting hands.
The player to the left of the dealer starts by flipping over their first card and then looking at their second card. This tells them what type of hand they are playing (pot, high, or low).
Next, each player in clockwise order flips over one more card and bets according to what type of hand they are playing. For example: if you are playing pot and you have a two-of-a-kind (two cards of the same rank), you would bet two chips.
If you are playing high and you have two Jacks (Qs), you would put up four chips because two Jacks is two more than a pair (one Jack and one Queen).
If you are playing low and you have a three-of-a-kind (three cards of the same rank), for example, you would put up six chips because three Kings is three more than a pair (two Kings and one Queen).
Once everyone has put in their bets, the dealer flips over the last card to see who wins the hand. If it’s someone else’s turn to deal cards, then that player flips over their first card again and starts playing again from the beginning.
The goal of Knock is to get as many hands as possible in which you win without having to take any money off of anyone else. There are several ways to accomplish this: getting good starting hands (two pair or better), making good pre-flop bets (pot or higher), hitting on deuces or triples (when someone throws out a higher card that helps complete your hand), or bluffing (when you don’t have any good cards but want to scare someone into thinking you do).
Knock is a fun game that can be played with friends or family members for hours on end! Whether you’re betting big or small, Knock Poker can be an exciting way to spend some time together.
