Thoughts on the Triple Poker Routine
(contributed and written by Dennis Loomis)

With thepublication of Try the Impossible, it's possible to reset the stackafter the Draw Poker demonstration. However, there are certainly times whenupsetting the stack is a small price to pay in order to do a more powerfulroutine. Even when table-hopping, working a hospitality room, etc., you alwayshave that last show of the evening. Occasionally this will be for the personwho hired you, or some other important individual and their party. This is thetime to do a powerful effect that destroys the stack. My first choice is thecomplete three-phase poker demonstration from pages 120-123 of Bound toPlease.

Triple Stack $25,000 Guaranteed Final Table (S2E4)With a nod to Live at the Bike, Best Bet LIVE, Poker Night in America, and other poker stream. ⁠⁠⁠Online Poker Terms - the most comprehensive Poker Glossary & Poker Term Dictionary developed by the PokerNews experts from all around the World. The stack-to-pot ratio (or SPR for short) principle was coined by Ed Miller in the book Professional No-Limit Hold'em: Volume I. In this article I aim to explain the basics of SPR in poker and show you how it can be used to make your post-flop decisions a lot easier in cash games.

Start withthe Stud Deal, then do the 10 card routine with the Jonah card, and end withthe Draw routine (and that Royal Flush in Spades!) When you have the time to doit, and interested spectators, this is much stronger than just the Draw Routineby itself.

With that inmind, I'd like to share some embellishments I use when doing this sequence. Youneed to do some preparatory work when picking up the hands after the StudDemonstration. The effort will pay off with a couple of nice'touches' during the Draw Routine.

At the endof the Stud routine, you will have three hands of cards face up on the table,along with two discards face down. The last card you deal yourself will be the7C. Instead of placing it on the face of your hand, put it between the AH andthe 7S. (Your hand, from the face will then be the 7H, the AH, the 7C, the 7S,and the 7D). As you pick up the cards used in the Stud Deal, contrive to keepyour hand on top of these gathered cards; the rest of the dealt cards can be inany order. Place the remainder of the deck on top of these cards and you areready to continue.

Now performyour favorite version of the Ten Card Poker deal, using the next ten cards(stack numbers 29-38, with the KH as the Jonah card). When you finish, putthese ten cards on the bottom of the deck.

For thethird and final phase, deal out five face-down hands of Draw poker, exactly asper Simon’s stack. After you have dealt the five hands, your previous Stud hand(with the four 7's) will now be on top of the deck.

When youshow the first hand of the Draw routine, it contains three sixes. You commentthat most poker players would discard the two indifferent cards. Remove the KCand 3H, and deal the two top cards of the deck to that hand. Now, comment thatthis guy is going to be very surprised when he gets another pair on the draw,upgrading his hand to a full house. Turn the 7S and 7D face-up to fill the fullhouse.

Proceed tothe second hand, and explain that this will be a club flush. Before you turn itover, mention that it's 'almost a straight flush.' Comment that onecard, the QC, keeps it from being a straight. Turn up the hand, to reveal thatyou were correct. As you remove the Queen from the hand, explain that only amediocre poker player would discard the Queen, trying for the straight. Afterall, there are only two cards, which can fill that straight, the 2C and the 7C.You might mention that all the hands should be good to ensure a big pot. Getready for a double lift as you explain that without your help, this guy willdoubtless ruin his flush. State that he’ll probably get some random cardlike...the AH. After you name it, turn over the double and the spectators will,see the AH. You turn the card(s) down and comment that you don't necessarilyhave to deal him that card from the top. Doing your best impersonation of asecond deal, you deal the top card and reveal that it's the 7C. This completesthe straight flush in clubs.

You revealthe third hand is a full house. Then you reveal that the fourth hand is four ofa kind... in nines. Mention that since the fifth card is an ace, the hand can'tbe improved, but that most poker players would draw one card, to make theiropponents think they have two pairs. The card you deal will be the Ace ofHearts. That validates your 'second' deal, since the Ace should be ontop if you had dealt a second. (Or a bottom, for that matter.) All that remainsis to reveal your royal flush in spades. I like to call the cards just before Iturn them over. I say: 'The 10S,' and deal that card to my left. ThenI say: 'The AS,' and deal it to my right. I then say: 'TheJS,' and deal it down next to the ten. Next: 'The QS' and it'sdealt next to the Jack. This should leave an opening for just one card. Youthen name the KS, and place it down into the open spot.

Thisfinishes what I feel is one of the great card routines of all time. My littleadditions are certainly minor compared to Simon's original creation. But, givethem a try anyway, I think you'll find them worth while.

Comments:

(1) If youdo a second deal, you can easily incorporate it into this sequence. When youfinish the stud deal, place the 7C between the 7H and the AH, and pick up thecards as described above. When you reach the 2nd hand of the Draw poker routineand discard the QC, you can legitimately turn over the AH on top of the deck.Leave it face up, and second deal the 7C from beneath it to complete thestraight flush.

(2) One ofthe strengths of the three-phase sequence is that a spectator gets to deal thecards for the middle phase. They will remember that you beat them even whenthey dealt the cards themselves. However, experience has taught me that youwant to be very careful in choosing your helper, and in controlling thesituation. You want a card player who has some experience dealing so that theydon't drop the deck, and so that the deal doesn't take very long. But, you alsowant a friendly, cooperative spectator who is unlikely to suddenly cut orshuffle the cards on their own initiative. It's important that you stay incharge of the situation and that you get the deck back as quickly as possibleafter the deal is complete. I like to say: 'Let's play a little one on onegame' as I begin to hand them the cards. Before the cards are out of myhand, I say: 'Deal one card right here,' as I point to a spot on thetable in front of myself. I then point to a spot in front of the spectator as Isay: 'And one here.' Then I tell them to: 'Keep going, until weeach have five cards.' Be sure to keep count yourself, and when they dealthe tenth card to themselves, say: 'Great,' or 'That'sfine,' as you reach for the deck. Don't tell them that they are going todeal two five-card poker hands before they start. An experienced card playermay just automatically cut or shuffle the cards before they begin.

It's stillpossible that the spectator will cut the deck right after they finish theten-card deal. That's not a problem if you remember that the 6H has to be ontop when you start the draw demonstration. Just look through the face up cardsquickly, commenting that they are well mixed, but you'll shuffle them a bitmore. Spot the 6H and cut it to the top, going right into a false shuffle and afalse cut. I mention this possibility because it happened to me. I didn'tremember where I had to start the draw routine, and I had to end the sequencewithout the 'payoff' of the draw demonstration. (Isn't it convenientthat the three cards, which have to be on top, to begin the three poker deals,are the 5H, 4H, and 6H?)
