A guest post by E. Mark Gross.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"In the past several years, very few new games have been introduced. Yet this year, as CEO of TableBrain<\/a>, I am proud to say our company introduced a new game through PartyPoker.com called Double Hold\u2019em<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It gives players more playable hands, more action and bigger pots! It’s a poker game<\/a> built by poker fans for poker fans.<\/p>\n

More continuous action and decisions at the table<\/h3>\n

But how did we get here? In 2006, I created Double Hold’em with my longtime friend and colleague, math genius Zvi Lando. We’ve spent more time than I could ever figure thinking about our passion, poker.<\/p>\n

We’ve played the game, brainstormed endlessly and created several patent pending variations that reflect our core belief — create fun, intelligent games that allow players to have more continuous action and decisions at the table.<\/p>\n

For better than three years, we refined our ideas and spoke to many of poker’s leading minds. While we were enthusiastic, in those early years there was a sense that a cloud hung over the industry. We persevered. We put our energy into further game developments and into promoting Double Hold’em.<\/p>\n

Each player is dealt 3 hole cards<\/h3>\n

Now, what makes Double Hold’em fun and different? It\u2019s that each player is dealt 3 hole cards (not 2) and there’s a betting round. After the flop, each player sets his cards in a “V” — the point card plays with each of the other cards BUT the non-point cards don’t play with each other. Each player thus creates two 2-card hands. There’s a betting round, followed by the turn and river cards opening — each followed by a betting round. You play your best hand.<\/p>\n

It’s that simple. Still, there’s a great deal going on for novices and experts alike. It’s like Hold’em, but with a decision-step that affects your hand and multiplies your possibilities!<\/p>\n

The game has been played extensively throughout the US. Momentum is building now that the game is exclusively at PartyPoker.com<\/a>. This is a proud moment for our company. It\u2019s also the start of an exciting new era for our industry.<\/p>\n

Join us on this journey, and let us know what you think. See you at the tables!<\/p>\n
