Six Kick Poker Rules

This game is usually played with between 3 and 8 players at the table and has many similarities to that of 7 Card Stud (with a few exceptions). One of the main differences is that in the initial deal, only 6 cards are dealt.

The game differs in that after the 6th card has been dealt and betting is complete, each player has the option to have one card in their hand replaced. The cost of doing so will be the amount of the last compulsory bet (of the blind) and will depend whether it is an up card or a down card. If it is an up card it costs only one time the minimum bet and if it is a down card it will cost you two times the minimum bet.

Note that If you replace a down card, your replacement card will also be a down card and an up card will replace as an up card.

There is a maximum of 2 kicks in a game followed by a round of betting and then the showdown. The draw is called the "Kick" hence the name.
