There is one man that has taken matters with a new game to a literal level in the jousting between nominees for the White House’s top job where Presidential poker is a well-known term.<\/p>\n
Instead of traditional suits and hand rankings this new variant of poker, invented by Alex Gary from Rockford, Illinois, uses US presidents throughout history.<\/p>\n
Gary felt it was time to unleash his game on the US at the moment that the world’s headlines is being dominated by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n
Presidential Poker is a twist on traditional Hold’em, as Gary explained his invention when talking to WIFR.com.<\/p>\n
Neutral Game Politically<\/strong><\/p>\n Gary tried to back up his rankings with stats and historical research as he tried avoiding any bias in the rankings since everyone has a political persuasion virtually.<\/p>\n ‘I wanted to create a ranking that was 100 percent fair and not just saying this is you because I want Republicans, I want conservatives, I want Libertarians, I want Green Party people to buy this game,’ zei Gary tegen WIFR.com.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Each card ranges from one to 43 points, in which Gary went back to 1948 to factor the historical rankings of 43 presidents.<\/p>\n There are just three suits in addition to only having 43 cards, Democrats, Republicans and Other, as the 44th President (Clinton or Trump) will be determined in January.<\/p>\n By using the deck you can play Hold’em, Draw and Stud, but at the same time you need consider your points as make a strong poker hand, according to Gary.<\/p>\n Hands Beaten by Points<\/strong><\/p>\n A pair with more points can actually beat a low value straight as pointed out by the inventor of the game.<\/p>\n Within the context of Presidential Poker the highest and lowest ranked presidents are:<\/p>\n Top Ranked: Franklin Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.<\/p>\n Bottom Ranked: James Buchanan, Warren Harding, Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison and Andrew Johnson.<\/p>\n The moment is certainly captured by this game as you can get into the spirit of the US election for only $9,95. It’s however unlikely for the game to be a serious his with poker players.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is one man that has taken matters with a new game to a literal level in the jousting between nominees for the White House’s top job where Presidential poker is a well-known term.
