Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics (Switch) - Game #23: Texas Hold 'Em
Game #23 on our list of 51 Worldwide Classics is another card game commonly played at casinos and one of the most popular forms of Poker if not the most popular, Texas Hold 'Em! In this game, each hand starts with the blind bets. The player to the left of the dealer is the small blind and the player to that player's left is the big blind (with the big blind being the minimum bet and the small blind being half of that). Then the players are dealt two cards toward a poker hand. Based on the possible combinations they can make with those two cards, they can either call (match the bet of the big blind), raise (put in more chips than the minimum and raise the minimum to call and stay in the hand), or fold (forfeit the hand). Play goes around clockwise back to the big blind. If nobody raised on the first turn and the big blind doesn't feel comfortable enough with their hand to put any more chips in, they can check to feel out the other players. After this, the first three community cards are dealt in the center (known as the "Flop"). At this point everyone has a full five-card poker hand, with their two cards and the three community cards. Based on this information and new possible openings for better hands from the other two community cards, another round of betting begins. If the first player doesn't feel comfortable enough to bet right away or just wants to get a feel for the competition, they can check (bet nothing, basically). If a player feels comfortable enough with their hand, they can start the betting, and then each player will then either match the bet (call), raise the stakes or fold, just like the previous round. Once this round of betting finishes, the fourth community card is turned (known as the "Turn"), and another round of betting begins the same way. Then the final community card is dealt (known as the "River"), and one final round of betting begins. Once the final round finishes, the showdown ensues. Players reveal their two cards, and whoever can make the best five-card poker hand from their two cards and the five community cards wins the pot. The hierarchy goes as follows:
Straight Flush (five sequential cards of the same suit with the highest A-K-Q-J-10 being known as a Royal Flush)
4 of a Kind (four cards of the same number)
Full House (three of a kind and a pair)
Flush (five cards of the same suit)
Straight (five sequential cards)
3 of a Kind (three cards of the same number)
Two Pair (two of one number and two of another)
One Pair (two cards of the same number)
High Card (no combination)
In most Texas Hold 'Em tournaments, the game ends when only one player has any chips left, but I guess Nintendo thought that would take too long, so they shortened the game to 5 or 10 rounds, and whoever has the most chips at the end of that many rounds wins.
Because there is a lot of luck involved in this game, there are no adjustable difficulty settings for the AI players, so all you have to do is win once to master the game. Also, the game keeps track of your high score, and each time you play it, you can unlock a piece of trivia about the game. There are two pieces of trivia about Texas Hold 'Em:
1. Poker is played all over the world and consists of multiple variations. (Five-Card Draw, Seven-Card Stud, and Texas and Omaha Hold 'Em being the ones I know)
2. Texas Hold 'Em was first played in Texas around the turn of the 20th century.
Personal story: My dad and I used to play Hoyle casino CD-ROM games all the time when I was a kid, and I also remember playing in a Texas Hold 'Em tournament in college.
