Olá Bruna,

Celestial Poker / Sviten Special

Introduction

This Poker variant is a cross between

Five-card Draw and Omaha. Players are dealt five cards ⚽️ each, and a there are five face

up shared cards on the table. After the first three shared cards (known ⚽️ as the flop)

have been dealt, players can discard some of their hand cards and obtain replacements.

The pot is ⚽️ split between the best five-card hand and the best Omaha hand. This mixture

of games guarantees action and is normally ⚽️ played quite aggressively.

As reported by

Jonas Uebel, this game has become very popular in the Nordic countries under the name

⚽️ Sviten Special, and is widely believed to have originated in 2004 in Anders Bengtsson's

legendary Sviten poker club in Stockholm, ⚽️ as described for example on this festival

page. However I am told by Sebastién that an identical game was played ⚽️ in French Canada

in the 1980's where it was known as Celestial Poker (or in French, Céleste). The

'festival page' ⚽️ article also mentions that a similar game is played in the USA under

the rather clumsy name 'Drawmaha'. It may ⚽️ well be that over the course of a quarter

century or more this same idea has arisen independently in several ⚽️ widely separated

places.

Players, Cards and Stakes

A standard international 52-card deck is used. The

optimum number of players is 5 or ⚽️ 6. It is possible for up to 9 to play, but then you

often have to recycle cards discarded by ⚽️ the earlier players to be drawn by

others.

Players agree the size of the small and big blinds, and the betting ⚽️ limits.

Sviten Special is preferably, and in its original format, played as pot limit.

Deal and

Betting

As in any form of ⚽️ poker, the cards are shuffled and cut. The structure when it

comes to blinds, order of betting and the way ⚽️ the communal cards are dealt are

identical to ordinary Texas Hold’em and Omaha.

The player to the dealer's left places

the ⚽️ small blind and the player to the small blind's left places the big blind. The

dealer then deals five cards ⚽️ to each player, and there is a betting round, beginning

with the player to the left of the big blind.

The ⚽️ dealer then burns one card and deals

a three-card flop face up to the table. There is a second round ⚽️ of betting in which the

player to the left of the dealer acts first.

After the second betting round, each

player ⚽️ can discard any number of cards - from zero to five - and receives an equal

number of replacement cards ⚽️ from the dealer, as in five card draw poker. If the deck

runs out at this point the muck (consisting ⚽️ of earlier players' discards, the burn

card, and the cards of any players who folded in the first betting round) ⚽️ is shuffled

to form a new deck from which to deal replacement cards to the later players.

The

dealer burns one ⚽️ card and deals one card (the turn card) face up to the table. There is

a third round of betting ⚽️ beginning with the player to the left of the dealer.

Finally

the dealer deals a fifth face up card (the river) ⚽️ to the table, and there is a fourth

round of betting beginning with the player to the left of the ⚽️ dealer.

The Showdown

If

any betting round results in all players but one folding, the last surviving player

immediately takes the pot ⚽️ without showing any cards, and this ends the hand.

If more

than one player survives the final round of betting, all ⚽️ surviving players show their

cards, and the pot is split between:

The best five-card poker hand (considering only

the five cards ⚽️ held by the player)

The best Omaha hand, formed of exactly two of the

player's cards and exactly three of the ⚽️ face up cards on the table.

Normal poker hand

ranking applies. It is of course possible for the same player to ⚽️ win on both criteria,

and take the whole pot. However, it is common for the pot to be split.

Variations

A

popular ⚽️ variation of Sviten Special allows an extra possibility when exchanging cards.

If you decide to exchange only one card, you ⚽️ can ask the dealer to give you a

replacement card face up. You can either accept this card, which everyone ⚽️ has seen, or

reject it and ask the dealer to deal you another card face down, which you must then

⚽️ accept.

Sebastién describes three versions of the one-card exchange rule played in

Celestial Poker in Canada:

The player simply receives one replacement ⚽️ card that is not

shown to the other players and has to accept it - i.e. the same as when ⚽️ exchanging two

or more cards. This is rarely played. The player is dealt one card face up, which they

can ⚽️ reject and take a face-down card in its place, the same as in the Sviten Special

variant above. The player ⚽️ is dealt two cards face down, keeps one of them without

showing it, and discards the rejected card face up. ⚽️ This third version is the most

popular.

Sviten Special is most popular to play as pot limit and in cash games.

⚽️ However, there have been successful tournaments of Sviten Special and even some players

that like to play it as no ⚽️ limit (but then the game tends to become quite

crazy).

Communist Pot is a Celestial Poker variation in which everyone at ⚽️ the table has

to place an ante of 5× the big blind. There is no betting round after the first ⚽️ 5 cards

are dealt: the dealer immediately deals the three-card flop. The game then continues in

the normal way.

There are ⚽️ several Roll Your Own versions of Celestial Poker. The most

usual is for each player to reveal one of their ⚽️ five cards when the turn card has been

dealt, before the third betting round, and a second when the river ⚽️ card has been dealt,

before the final betting round.
