If you are not familiar with poker combinations, see the ranking of poker hands page for details.Īll poker bets are placed in the pot space of the layout.
You do not necessarily have to select the cards that form your best poker hand (you may have cards that you do not want to reveal until the stops part of the game, especially if you play the variation where stakes are collected from the layout in stage three rather than stage one). Everyone selects five cards from their hand that they wish to play poker with, separates them from the rest of their hand, and temporarily puts the other cards aside. Since more chips are added to each space at the start of each hand, the king-queen and 8-9-10 spaces, which are less often claimed, tend to produce higher winnings when someone does have the right cards.īefore the stops play begins, there is a round of poker. Usually the chips in some of the spaces are unclaimed - these are left on the layout to be won in a future hand. If two or more players have 8-9-10 in different suits they share the chips in the 8-9-10 space equally, leaving any remainder on the layout for the next winner. The 8, 9 and 10 must all be in the same suit, but the suit does not have to be hearts. The chips in the 8-9-10 space can be taken by a player who has an 8-9-10 sequence in one suit (for example 8- 9- 10). If a player has the king and queen of hearts, that player takes the chips from the king-queen space, in addition to the chips from the king and queen spaces. Players will keep the same cards for all three stages of the game - there is no new deal before the second and third stages.įirst Stage - collecting stakes for pay cardsĪnyone who holds the ace, king, queen, jack or ten of hearts takes all the chips from that space. What you cannot do is exchange your hand for the spare and then exchange back - once you look at the spare hand you have to keep it. Another possibility is to exchange your hand for the spare and then auction your old hand to the highest bidder. The person (if any) who buys the spare hand discards their own original hand face down and pays the dealer in chips the amount bid for the spare hand if you auction the spare hand and no one wants to buy, you still have the option to swap your hand for the unseen kitty. If you do swap, your whole original hand is discarded face down and becomes the spare (you cannot combine cards from the two hands).Īlternatively, the dealer can offer the spare hand unseen for sale to the highest bidder. You are not allowed to look at the spare hand before deciding whether to swap. If as dealer you do not like your hand you can exchange it for the spare hand. Some players will have one more card than others. The spare hand does not belong to anyone.
#Who wins hearts cards plus
The dealer then deals out the cards one at a time, clockwise, to form one hand for each player plus a spare hand. It may be that some of these spaces already contain unclaimed chips from previous deals in this case the new chips are added to these.
The layout looks something like this:īefore the deal, each player must place nine chips on the board - one on each of the labelled spaces: ace of hearts, king of hearts, queen of hearts, jack of hearts, ten of hearts, king-queen of hearts, 8-9-10, kitty and pot. You also need a supply of chips for betting, and a board or cloth marked out to receive the various stakes. It requires a standard deck of 52 cards, the cards ranking in each suit, from low to high: 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A. Tripoli is best for 4 to 7 players (and is possible for 2 to 9). The game is in three stages: in the first stage, the holders of particular cards collect the relevant stakes the second stage is similar to Poker, and the final stage is a Stops game similar to Michigan or Boodle. In Australia, I am told it is known as Calliente, and in Germany it is still possible to buy a board for the game under the original name Poch. In North America equipment for the game is sold under the names TRIPOLEY®, Rummoli, Michigan Rummy and Royal Rummy. This game, sometimes known as Three in One, is a modern version of the ancient European game Poch.
