How to play Texas Hold'em Points Night
Play Hold'em hands for points instead of a long chip session.
Set dealer rotation, reveal rhythm, hand-win points, and session length.
Most points when the timer ends or after the agreed hand count wins.
- Deal Hold'em hands with two hole cards and shared board cards.
- Choose a reveal rhythm before the first hand, then keep every hand on that rhythm.
- Award hand-win points after showdown or uncontested wins.
- Rotate the dealer button and keep the scoreboard visible.

Each hand win scores 1 point. Optional river-showdown wins can score a bonus point.

Host tip
Keep it clean
Letting chip values take over. Keep the point scoreboard as the result.
