- Description:
- ============
- Smoke'em Poker is a freeware game of five-cardádrawápoker.
- You play against up to 5 opponents simulated by the computer.
-
-
- Requirements:
- =============
- - Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or Windows NT
-
-
- Installation:
- =============
- 1. If you received this program as a zip file (e.g. SEPKR19.ZIP),
- do the following (if not, skip to step 2):
- - Create a temporary folder on your hard disk.
- - Move the zip file into that folder.
- - Unzip it.
- Assuming that you have PKUNZIP in your path, you would type:
- PKUNZIP SEPKR19.ZIP
-
- 2. Run SETUP.EXE.
- This starts the installation program. It will install the
- necessary files onto your hard disk (in a folder of your choice),
- and will create the appropriate icons in the Program Manager
- (or in the Start menu in Windows 95).
-
- 3. If you unzipped the file (in step 1), you can then delete the
- temporary folder that you created.
-
- Note: Smoke'em Poker installs to a new folder by default (SEPKR19)
- and creates a new program group (Smoke'em Poker 1.9), so it
- won't affect any earlier versions that you may have installed.
- After satisfying yourself that 1.9 works OK, you should
- remove any earlier version(s).
-
-
- Playing The Game:
- =================
- Once you've started the game, click "Options" to change the game settings.
- Note that some options take effect immediately, while others don't apply
- until a new game is started.
-
- You can start a new game at any time by clicking the "New Game" button.
-
- Each hand of five-card draw proceeds as follows:
- - ante and dealing
- - opening bets (no minimum hand to open)
- - discarding cards (1 discard of up to 3 cards)
- - closing bets
- - the showdown (where you win, lose, or tie)
-
- All standard poker hands are allowed, including ace-low straights
- (A-2-3-4-5). Check-raisingá(sandbagging) can be prohibited.
- If a computer player runsáout ofámoney, they're out of the game.
- If you run out of money, you can end the game or "Watch" the other
- players continue.
- At any time, you can view statistics andágraphs for the current
- game, and odds for the current hand.
