Church Poker Rules

Church is a poker variation very similar to that of Cincinatti Poker. Each player in Church poker is dealt 5 cards facing down. The dealer then deals 5 cards to the board (face down) in the shape of a cross as illustrated below. In Church there is a round of betting once all cards have been dealt to the cross. The first card is then turned as indicated below.

	Turned First (round of betting)
Turned Fourth (round of betting)	Turned Last (final round of betting)	Turned Second (round of betting)
	Turned Third (round of betting)

The last card, in this case the 6H acts prompts the showdown. Players must use any 2 cards from the 5 in their hand along with any line of the cross. For amongst your 5 hole cards you hold 3 4. You would use the vertical section of the cross to make a straight (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). In Church Poker the player with the best 5 card poker hand wins the pot.
