Inventing a new type or format of poker is the dream of many companies. The appearance of "Rush Poker" on Full Tilt Poker or "Spins" on Winamax attracted a large number of newcomers. Both formats were later popularised by PokerStars. The rise of mobile apps has had a comparable impact on online poker. Now PPPoker, PokerBros, and Suprema Poker are already setting industry trends themselves. Let's talk about Seka at PPPoker, its rules and prospects.

What is this game?

Seka was invented relatively recently - in the 90s of the 20th century. Russia and Eastern European countries are considered to be the homeland of the game. The key features of Seka look like this:

• The game uses an short deck of 36 cards. There are no 2, 3, 4, 5 in it.
• From 2 to 10 people participate in the hands.
• Before receiving cards, players form a pot.
• The opponents are dealt 3 cards each.
• Depending on the starting hand, the opponents bet or leave the game.
• The bank is taken by the owner of the highest number of points.
• The number of points depends on the combination of specific cards. Ace brings 11 points to the player. King, queen, jack - 10 points each. The other cards have the same number of points as the face value.
• The suit is of great importance. The final number of points is determined by one-suit denominations. For example, the hand AsQsJh gives not 31 points, but 21. All because the jack is a different colour than the ace and queen.
• There is a joker in the game. Its role is fulfilled by the six of clubs.
• If a player receives three identical cards, the suit does not play a role. The owner of the hand KsKhKc gets 30 points.
• If several opponents have the same number of points, an additional round of the game called "Svara" is played. There, players are dealt new hands, but the pot is transferred from the previous hand. For an additional fee, the holders of fewer points also participate in the svara.

The denominations and number of points are summarised as follows:

The joker does not always become an ace and gives 11 points. It replaces the most effective card for the player's hand. When a player is dealt "QsQh6c" the joker acts as another queen to bring the maximum number of points.

Is it realistic to win at Seka over the distance?

Seka is great fun, but it is not the discipline for a professional game. It lacks the ability to analyse the board and the actions of your opponents. Yes, a player can actively bluff to force the owner of the best hand to surrender. Otherwise, success in Seka depends on chance.

There's no space in Seka to show off your skills

Against the background of the new card game, no limit texas hold'em looks more attractive. NLH is favoured by:

• a large database of training materials;
• possibility to analyse the course of betting and general board cards;
• variety of formats;
• option to use statistical software.

Asian Converter will help you with the latter. The software not only makes the history of hands understandable to the tracker, but also has other advantages. The main ones are:

• assigns hotkeys;
• expands the possibilities of multi-tabling;
• displays the pot odds during the game;
• saves hands with specified odds of game amounts;
• bypasses emulator restrictions and bans;
• supports both the desktop version of PPPoker and emulator play.

Asian Converter also supports two other mobile applications - PokerBros and Suprema Poker. We are giving you the opportunity to evaluate the converter for free. Write to KingsHands support team and they will give you a trial.
