No peek card game rules

All the cards must remain face down. The player sitting to the left of the dealer gets things started by turning up his or her first card. Players can check or bet, and once a bet is made they can fold, call, or raise and so on until the last bet is called. Once the first betting round is over, the next player moving clockwise turns up his or her first card. It's a six-handed game, and after the cards have all been dealt Andy is sitting to the left of the dealer and is first to act.

Andy is showing the and bets, and all five opponents — not knowing any of their cards yet, remember — call the bet. That doesn't beat a king, so she has to keep turning over cards until her hand's value exceeds king-high. She has to turn over five cards to get there, finally showing for a pair of nines.

Now Barbara leads the betting. She could just fold, and perhaps should, as she doesn't have a great hand going. But as usually happens in this game especially when played for low stakes in a fun home game , she wants to stick around and so bets.

Again, he has to keep turning up cards until he can beat the highest hand showing a pair of nines. Unfortunately, he gets through all his seven cards — — and only has a pair of sixes. However there is still another round of betting, and Barbara gets to start it with her pair of nines. She decides to bet again, and the four others still in the hand call. NOTE: Some omit the betting round when a player fails to turn up a hand that can be bet as Carter does here, and instead just move on to the next player.

Action moves to Diane , who suffers the same fate as Carter after turning over for a pair of eights. Exit Diane, and again Barbara leads another round of betting, with her three remaining opponents calling. It's Eric's turn now, and things go similarly for him as he flips up his seven cards —. Ace-high can't beat a pair, and so Eric is out. Barbara bets again. Fran is the only player who hasn't shown any cards, and she calls.

And with his king up, Andy sticks around as well. Fran finally gets her turn. She turns over her first four cards — — and stops there as a pair of queens is now best. Andy, with that showing and six cards still face down, isn't too enthusiastic about his hand, in large part because he sees one king in Fran's hand and remembers Eric folded another. The remaining cards stay face down and cannot be looked at. The object is for players to have the lowest value of the cards in front of them by either swapping them for lesser value cards or by pairing them up with cards of equal rank.

Beginning with the player to the dealer's left, players take turns drawing single cards from either the stock or discard piles. The drawn card may either be swapped for one of that player's 6 cards, or discarded.

If the card is swapped for one of the face down cards, the card swapped in remains face up. The round ends when all of a player's cards are face-up. Each ace counts 1 point. Each 2 counts minus 2 points. Each numeral card from 3 to 10 scores face value. Each jack or queen scores 10 points. Each king scores zero points. A pair of equal cards in the same column scores zero points for the column even if the equal cards are 2s.

Enthusiasts of stud poker may also enjoy playing 7 Card No Peek. Both games deal seven cards to players, who attempt to build a five-card winning poker hand from the cards they receive.

Unlike stud poker, No Peek does not allow a player to look at any of his cards prior to betting. This eliminates bluffing and creates a challenging new strategy for playing the game.

Two players or more are required to play the game, although it is preferable to have at least three. A dealer is chosen to start the game. The dealer passes seven cards to each player, face down. If a player looks at her cards, she has to sit out that hand. Play starts with the player to the left of the dealer. The first player turns over the first card in his hand. He then decides how much, if any, he wants to bet on this card. The next player has to match the original bet, raise the bet to a higher amount or fold his hand, sitting out until the next hand.

If someone raises the bet, the remaining players decide if they want to continue by matching the higher bet or folding their hands. The betting continues until everyone has an equal bet in the pot or has folded his hand.
