#Overhanded (Underhanded) Poker

Also if you make overhanded a thing I'll whack everyone involved with a large trout ~ Doorknob

You and your poker buddy are bored, and seeking to liven up the usual poker game. Playing one hand just isn't challenging any more, and you're looking to add a bit of depth. So, why not play with two?

###Overview

This is a round robin tournament of two-player poker. For each round, a player will need to make two hands of five cards each. To do this, each player will be dealt seven cards, with three community cards to fill out the hands. After receiving their seven cards, players will be allowed to exchange any number of them for new cards from the deck one time.

Once each player has exchanged cards, they will split the ten cards (7 in hand, 3 community) into two hands, Over and Under. The object for the Over hand is the highest ranked hand, while the object for Under is lowest.

###Scoring

In each round, a player will receive one point if:

• Their Over hand is higher than the opponent's Over hand and
• Their Under hand is lower than their opponent's Under hand

If one hand wins (Over beats Over or Under loses to Under) and the other ties, you get half a point.

If one player wins one and the other wins the other or both hands tie, no points are awarded.

###Rules

• Standard poker hand rankings apply (link chart or something here)
• Play fair! (will expand on this with the usual KotH stuff)

Obviously this needs some more work. Initial thoughts, questions?
