description Royal Hold'em Overview
Royal Hold'em is a stripped-deck variant of Texas Hold'em that uses only the cards from ten through ace, leaving a 20-card deck. Players receive two private cards and use community cards to make poker hands, following the general structure of Hold'em. Because the deck contains fewer ranks and duplicate high cards are more common, strong combinations such as full houses and four of a kind occur more often. It is suited to players seeking a compact, high-variance Hold'em format.
help Royal Hold'em FAQ
What cards are used in Royal Hold'em?
Royal Hold'em uses only the cards from ten through ace in each suit. That creates a 20-card deck instead of the standard 52-card Texas Hold'em deck.
How many private cards does each player receive in Royal Hold'em?
Each player receives two private hole cards, following the basic structure of Texas Hold'em. Community cards are then used with those hole cards to make poker hands.
Why does Royal Hold'em produce strong poker hands?
Removing cards below ten makes pairs, straights, flushes, and high cards much more common. The reduced 20-card deck also makes the remaining cards easier to track.
Is Royal Hold'em the same game as Texas Hold'em?
It uses the familiar two-hole-card and community-card structure of Texas Hold'em. The major change is the stripped deck containing only tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces.
