How to play Poker ItalianoWhat it trains in your mind

The rules

How it plays

  1. Strip the deck by player count; with four players the classic deck runs from seven through ace.
  2. The dealer chooses and posts the invito before five hidden cards are dealt.
  3. Opening requires at least a pair of Jacks; if nobody opens, redeal and grow the pot.
  4. Players who meet the opening may exchange zero to four cards.
  5. The opener leads a pot-limit final round; in the Italian order a flush beats a full house.

Played as a challenge. A game is a sitting of hands between the same seats, played for coins that are counters and nothing more. After each hand the results count your draw's exact odds of improving, from the very cards you had not seen — every exchange teaches a little probability.

Availability note. Expected December is an approximate target. Each wave arrives once the previous one is stable.

Ways to play

Variants, not separate apps.

One purchase contains the supported rules family. Each option below changes the table while keeping the engine's legal-move checks in charge.

Poker all'italiana

The canonical Italian five-card draw table.

  • The deck floor adjusts automatically to player count.
  • The ace may play low in the minimum straight for the active deck.

Make it yours. Start from any of these, adjust the settings the game allows, and save it as your own template. When online play opens you can publish a custom table for others to join.

What is inside

Built around the game, not the grind.

01

Authentic variable short deck

The deck shrinks with the table, exactly as poker all'italiana is dealt.

02

Dealer-selected invito

The dealer sets the invito each hand — the real Italian ritual.

03

Jacks-or-better opening

You need a pair of Jacks to open; if nobody can, the pot grows and you re-deal.

04

Configurable invito and raise cap

Set the opening stake and the pot-limit raise cap for your table.

05

No real-money wagering or cash-out

Chips are for play only: no real money in, no cash out.
