Ticket Holdem
Hi Guys, after a year of work with patents and printers my new way to run a draw is ready. It is based on Texas Holdem and will add some excitement to the normal picking a number out of a hat.
Ticket Holdem - The LIVE Poker Game for Large Gatherings
The game begins with a break open ticket. Each participant will get one or more. In the break open window are your down cards. At the event (Stag, Tournament, Club event) the game director will post the community cards from a standard deck of cards. Participants make their best 5 card hand and the best hand wins. That simple. Check it out and give me your feed back please.

It doesn't interest me personally, but the cards look sharp. Good luck.
LOL... good question.
My thoughts...
- Interesting Concept
- Confusing Website / Annoying Sounds - I had to re-read your post a second time to figure out what it was about.
One of the rules posted on the ticket is "Cards that match the community cards can only be used once." As a friend said that suggested this rule in development. "Sucks to be you, poker was never meant to be fair."
I, and I think a large majority of this forum will agree that poker was meant to be fair(sometimes cruel), but always fair.
What exactly do you mean by only used once? Does that mean that the card on your ticket holdem(tm) card that matches the board card can then not be used?
So AsKs and a dealt board of As9h3c would give you no pair?
Explain please?
Just mark each ticket as participating in game #xxxxx associated with board #xxxxx
This would also help as you can include a chart as to how many winners there should be IF all the tickets are sold.
Remember: If the board cards are 4 of a kind and an ace, or a straight flush then everyone wins!!
Rather than make it a dumb luck contest, allow people to bet.
1. People buy a ticket for $1
2. everyone looks at their cards.
3. At the same time, everyone shouts, "1, 2, 3" on 3 everyone either puts their hand up to signify a bet or not.
4. Player who signified a bet pay $1and get another ticket that they open and look at...
5. Everyone else is out and folded.
6. Preflop play continues until 4 rounds of betting has passed or nobody bets.
7. Flop is dealt.
8 betting continues...until all the cards are dealt or you run out of tickets/money/everyone folds
9. Players may not trade/give away cards.
10. If nobody bets the money is split among the remaining players.
11. Drinks are ordered and the post game orgy moves to high gear.
New strip poker type games are always in demand.
What about a ticket game where ... nah too perverted, I need help.
In Ticket Holdem if you match a board card you can not use the card twice. Not fair perhaps but that's the rule.
My first game ever at a convention just over a week ago, over 120 people. Sold almost 600 tickets at $5.00 each or 3 for $10.00. The prize was split 4 ways. J 10 won when the board showed 8 9 Q. They split instead of a playoff.
hope your success continues. There must be some poker conventions worth hitting with your business venture.
