How to Play Anaconda Poker

Video Transcript

Another game that we like to play is called anaconda. Anaconda is a seven card game. It's similar to seven stud except you don't have any cards showing. All cards are face down. Anaconda is also a split pot game where the high hand or best five card hand will win half the pot and the best low hand will win half the pot as well. Let's see how anaconda is dealt out. First the dealer will deal seven cards face down to each player. Once the seven cards are dealt out, a betting realm will follow. After the betting round, the players will look at their hands and decide which three cards that they actually want to get rid of. This is based on whether or not their hand is going to go for a low hand or a high hand. In this case, this person would have to give up three cards and actually break up a flush that they already have. Each player would pick three cards. Pass them to the left. Those three cards are picked up by each player and another betting round will start. Once that betting round is over then each player will look at their hand and see which two cards they want to pass. They will then pass two cards. This person got lucky and made their flush again. He's going to get rid of these two. Just for instructional purposes, we're just going to pass some cards around the table. Once the two cards have been passed and all the players now have seven cards again, a betting round will follow. After that betting round, each person will pass one card to the player to their left. Now each player has seven cards in their hand and we'll do a split pot where the player with the best five card hand and the player with the worst hand, the low hand, will win half the pot and that's how anaconda is played.
