COHA Poker™ — commitment before the final card

COHA Poker redesigns community-card poker for mobile play. Familiar poker rankings are preserved, while the traditional board is compressed into one clear commitment point — creating anticipation without unnecessary betting rounds or visual complexity. 

The Game 

COHA Poker uses standard five-card poker rankings within a new Structure of Play centred on commitment before complete information.

The player and dealer each receive two concealed hole cards. Two community cards are then revealed and shared by both hands. Based on those four available cards, the player may fold or commit by raising. The final community card is then revealed and completes both five-card hands.

The player commits by raising x1. A raise of x2 is available on a visible pair of Jacks or better. 

The player must hold One Pair or better and beat the dealer to win. Equal hand values push. There is no dealer qualification requirement.
