[0010] These together with other aspects and advantages which will be subsequently apparent, reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0011] Further features and advantages of the present invention, as well as the structure and operation of various embodiments of the present invention, will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the preferred embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which: [0012] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method of implementing a wagering game, according to an embodiment; [0013] FIG. 2 is a drawing of an exemplary table layout, according to an embodiment. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0014] Reference will now be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. [0015] The present general inventive concept relates to a method, system, and computer readable storage which allows a casino to offer to player a poker type game wherein a player can choose from at least two different sets of cards. [0016] For example, a player can be presented with three groups of cards, group A, group B, and group C. The player's goal is to form the best poker hand. One of these groups (e.g., group A) must be used by the player, while the player can choose from either group B or group C to form the player's hand. For example, the player can be dealt ace spades (group A), ace diamonds and three diamonds (group B), and two clubs and seven hearts (group C). The player must keep the ace spades (group a) and choose from either group B or group C. The player would rightfully choose group B, since this gives the hand of: ace spades/ace diamonds/three diamonds, which gives the player a pair of aces. [0017] Once the player has chosen his or her hand, then community cards can be dealt or revealed, and the best player's hand can be formed using the player's hand and the community cards, and the best dealer's hand can be formed using the dealer's cards and the community cards. Best hand wins, according to traditional poker rankings. [0018] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method of implementing a method to play a wagering game, according to an embodiment; [0019] The method can start with operation 100, which receives wager(s) from the player. There are two methods wagers can be placed. In a first method, three bets can be made. Once the player chooses which set of cards he or she wishes to play, then two bets can be consolidated and the house can keep the third bet. For example, the player places three bets of $1 each. The player can be dealt ace spades (group A), ace diamonds and three diamonds (group B), and two clubs and seven hearts (group C). The player chooses to keep group B, thus two bets are consolidated (for $2) and a third bet ($1) is kept by the house. Then, the consolidated bet ($2) either loses or wins even money (depending on who has the higher poker hand when the game is resolved), and also any bonus amount can be paid from this $2 bet. If the player chooses, he or she can fold and lose one of the bets (e.g., $1) and receive the other two bets back. In a second method of placing bets, a single bet is wagered and after seeing all of the groups in each group, the player can fold or raise and place an additional wager.
