Abstract
A system and method whereby players are able to elicit game play information about other players during poker games, namely at the conclusion of certain poker hands. Players are provided with one or more game props or challenge rights which can be used to “challenge” a player after a poker hand whereby the challenged player must reveal one or more of his or her hole cards to the player or all players at the poker table. The purpose of the challenge being to determine whether the challenged player was bluffing. The challenge does not alter the outcome of the poker hand but allows players to elicit game player information. The game prop may be any tangible item useable in a live game of poker. For example, the game prop may be a chip, button, card, token or marker. In an online version, the game prop may be any simulated item or challenge right.
