Big Fish Little Fish Poker Rules

Big Fish Little Fish is a Texas Hold'em variation popular in Scotland. The rules of Texas Hold'em apply in full in Big fish little fish with certain terminology changes.

The game structure of this game is as follows:

All players are dealt 2 Hole cards (pre flop)

The Flop (3rd community Card)

The Turn (4th community card)

The River (5th community card)

As in Hold'em there is a round of betting after each round. Where this game differs is in the terminology used. The blinds (automatic bets) that must be made, in any Holdem game, determine who pays the big and small blinds. In this game the player on the big blind is referred to as "Big Fish" and the person on the small blind is referred to as "Little Fish".

Another term used in this game is used to label the player(s) that call anything regardless of the strength of their hand (much like Low Limit Holdem players). These players are called "Barnafos". This illustrious title was given by the games creator - Albert Barnafo (hello mate!).
