How Show Hand works
- Each player gets one card face down and one face up.
- A betting round follows. The player showing the best face-up cards acts first.
- Three more face-up cards are dealt one at a time, with a betting round after each.
- Remaining players reveal their hidden card, and the best five-card poker hand wins.
"Show hand" is also the name of the all-in move: putting everything you have on the table.
The short deck
Show Hand is often played with a short deck of 8 to A (32 cards). With fewer low cards, strong hands are more common, and a flush usually ranks above a full house because it is harder to make.
Reading the table
Four of your five cards are visible to everyone, so watch the other players' upcards: they tell you which cards are no longer available to you. For community-card poker, see Texas Hold'em.
