Poker players are always looking for new and creative ways of playing poker, which is why variants like BLAST Poker have proven so popular. Now, we at 888poker are proud to offer a new fun, fast and exciting game in Pick’em8, which takes the poker game we all love and creates a different and very engaging experience.
What makes Pick’em8 so unique is that you don’t play against direct opponents. Additionally, you have the opportunity to multiply your bet quickly.
Pick’em8 is high-speed action and easy to pick up; in fact, it can be learned in mere minutes. Speaking of, that’s all you’ll have to wait as new rounds of Pick’em8 spread every few minutes meaning you can jump in pretty much whenever you want. Got a few minutes to spare before your next tournament begins? If so, look no further than Pick’em8.
How Does It Work?
Currently only available on PC, to access the game log onto 888poker and click the “Pick’em” tab to see a list of all available and upcoming tables. Right now, there are two buy-in levels at $0.25 and $1. When you find the game for you, simply click “Join” to jump into action.
It’s at that point you will be presented with a selection of eight cards from which you get to pick two – hence the name Pick’em8! Once you lock up your selection (if you fail to do so they will be chosen for you), five community cards are placed on the board. You’re looking to make the best five-card hand using your run-of-the-mill Texas Hold’em rules.
The player or players with the best hand will then split the prize pool accordingly. The house doesn’t receive a hand, so at least one player is destined to win each Pick’em8 game. The more players who join a Pick’em8 game, the bigger the prize pool will be. It’s that simple!
Play several rounds to see how quickly you could beat the odds and boost your bankroll. At the end of each round, you can either click to continue or return to the Pick’em8 lobby.
Pick’em8 is poker meets casino game where you and other players can enjoy a fun twist on traditional poker!
