## What is Tennessee Skill Tournaments?

TENNESSEE HOLD EM ®
Tennessee Hold ‘Em Official Skill Poker WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP is GO! 

The World's First Skill Poker Tournaments are HERE! There’s a revolutionary Strategic Poker game in town. Playing identical hands, on separate tables, 2 Humans battle 4 ‘Outlaw Robots’ to prove who's the more skilful player. The RNG Dealer ensures both Humans and AI Baddies get identical hands... 

* Whoever plays their cards better wins! Over a season of League Matches, Tennessee Hold ‘Em Skill Poker will prove who the top Poker players REALLY are! Featuring World’s first Skill Poker World Championship, you can Download and Join the Affiliate Program to compete NOW!

* Strategy is crucial in Tennessee Hold ‘Em, drawing upon a variety of poker skills. Players face tough decisions on how to play their hands. This strategic element doesn’t exist in Texas Hold 'Em or Omaha. If you know how to play Texas Hold Em, it will only take a few minutes to understand Tennessee Hold ‘Em, though it takes a bit longer to master!

* You must ‘Capture’ (Bankrupt) your Outlaw Opponents to collect their Bounty. Win Tournaments to collect Gold and Silver to top the Medals Leaderboard and to raise your World Ranking. Build your Bankroll to play at the Highest Level! 

*  Less Folding : On average, 75% of Players fold after seeing their Hole Cards in Texas Hold ‘Em tournaments.  In Tennessee Hold ‘Em® Tournaments, 75 % of players stay in until the 3rd Round of Betting.  Higher participation means greater engagement. 

*  More Players make the Showdown : With higher average ranking hands than Texas Hold ‘Em, you get more competitive Showdowns. 

*  Innovative Bluffing: Players with weak hands can deceive opponents with strong discarding or no discarding.  Discards may reveal crucial information.  

*  More Strategic Thinking : If you’re dealt 4 of a Kind in Omaha, you have to discard 2 cards! This is not a worry in Tennessee Hold ‘Em®, where players decide how many Hole cards to keep. Men Overboard is called and the dealer reveals all discards.  

* Advanced Pro Game Variations : In a 5 Hole card Riverboat 223 Tournament, up to 16 discards are revealed.  With every card turned, winning odds alter.  Players must quickly analyse “Men Overboard” to determine their Opponents’ hand strength, and changing odds.  

* Tournament Structure :
- Blinds double every 6th hand, ensuring progressive tournaments and exciting tournament finales.
- No Side Pots: Players who go “all-in” can complete that hand by buying enough chips to cover all bets and raises.
- Players who go “into the red”, and win the hand, live to fight on in that tournament.

### 5/5 — Simply the Best!

*2024-10-23, version 5.0.3*

The most strategic Poker variant anywhere! The layout of the screen could be better, and it takes a while to learn, but there are genuine skill elements that test the (human) players against 4 Robots 🤖. Great showdowns, exciting and entertaining matches :-)

### 5/5 — New setup

*2023-05-22*

New multi hands are great a real test of skill. Love the new rankings Rankings are fun looking forward to cash games play all the time

### 5/5 — Totally Awesome 👏 Strategic Skill Poker ♥️

*2023-05-08, version 5.0.3*

Simply the Best, better than all the rest... Well, only Tennessee Hold ‘Em Tournaments can show who’s top dog 🐕 or cat 🐈. Because your opponents play the same hands as you, whoever has the higher chip count after a series of hands is the winner! Ok, some hands are easy, so both players fold early for a draw or very close result, but over a series of hands, your opponent may choose a totally different strategy and a big win (or big loss) can result. The more hands and matches played, the more accurate your official World 🌎 Rank is! Rank is based on the total margin of all wins minus the total margin of all losses. Showdowns are excellent and can surprise you. Single player tournaments (in the Lobby) are a great challenge too!

### 5/5 — Real Skill Poker Rides into Town

*2023-01-14, version 4.8.0*

Tough, strategic Poker where you have to play your hand better than your opponent. International matches make this the first genuine skill poker I have ever played. 2 players are dealt identical hands and they must play 4 Bots who are also playing the same deal. The Showdowns are hard to predict, but there are loads of clues that can give you key info on the robots’ hands. Highly entertaining...Tennessee Hold Em will really make you think!

### 5/5 — Poker Progresses

*2022-09-22, version 4.8.0*

A more varied game than traditional Texas Hold’Em, with more opportunities for tactical decisions on the way to the final hand. Amusing wanted posters add an additional humorous element to an already characterful game!

### 5/5 — Yay!!

*2022-03-28*

Finally! A poker game that makes sense!!

### 5/5 — New setup

*2022-01-28, version 4.8.0*

New multi hands are great a real test of skill. Love the new rankings Rankings are fun looking forward to cash games

### 5/5 — Face paced

*2021-05-26*

Faced paced, lot to focus on confused as heck

### 5/5 — Legendary Poker!

*2019-02-08, version 1.4*

The casino is in a Mississippi Riverboat. Capturing Outlaws, winning Bounty and beating your pals at Skill Poker is really satisfying! There's nothing like these 'Tennessee' games. It takes a while to learn, but well worth it.
