Bored Tahoe

NL · also FL · 6-max

Setup

Bored Tahoe (lazy pineapple). Keep all three hole cards all the way. At showdown you may use none, one, or two of them — never all three.

Cards you use

0, 1, or 2 hole cards plus the board. Three hole cards in your five-card hand is illegal.

Ranking quirks

Standard high, after the 0–2 hole constraint. A three-flush in your hand plus two on the board is not a flush.

You keep them. Do not use all three in the final five.

Two hearts on the board would need a third heart from the board, or you may only use two of your hearts.
