Rules of Double Flop Holdem:
The game of double flop holdem is played just like the Texas holdem pokeri game, but the additional community cards are used in this game.
Flop here is not just the flop; it is also the river and the turn card. It is exact that double of the normal amount of community cards are required here for building a poker hand. There are 6 cards dealing as the flop i.e. 3 cards for the board on upper side and the other 3 for lower side. Subsequently, the turn cards will be dealt, 1 for the board on upper side and the other one for lower side. Similarly, the two river cards have to deal.
Similar to holdem games, one can make his/her best poker hand of 5 cards from the available 7 cards i.e. from the 2 pocket cards along with 5 cards of the upper or lower boards. Mostly, a single deck of 52 cards is used in the double flop games. So, one should attain the advantage of such games. To know what the other player does not have in his/her hand is beneficial for a player. The king high flush of a player looks fair enough when there is an ace on the other board by means of a bunch of suits of poker cards that do not match. Technically, there should be matching between one of the cards of the player and the suit of Ace.
One can use only a single row for making his/her hand. He/she should not declare the choice o his/her row whether it is an upper roe or a lower row. The rows could not be changed during the hand. For example, the player has A, K in his/her pocket. K, A, 3 is the upper flop and 10, 8, J is the lower flop. This will be regarded as two pair. 8 as upper card and Q as lower card will be dealt as the cards of the turn.
The player having the best hand for both the rows will be declared as the winner. One should have the best hand for both the rows and the pot should be scooped, but in the way that he/she will be sharing the pot with other players at the poker table.

Man the guys in my Friday night game can hardly deal a single flop, turn and river hand without screwing up burns cards and the like … to double it would lead to a night of record numbers of misdeals !
Sounds like an interesting twist on the game though.
