Poker Games
Since this is a hot topic these days (seems everybody at work is in at least one game), what kind of poker games do you all play?

Since this is a hot topic these days (seems everybody at work is in at least one game), what kind of poker games do you all play?
Here’s the current list of what I play at the saturday night poker game I host with friends.
Night Baseball
7 cards dealt face down, then you roll ‘em one at a time with betting each round. 9’s are wild, 3 showing - you buy the pot and it’s wild for everybody (otherwise fold), 4 showing - you get an extra card.
5-Card Draw
Dealt 5, bet, then draw up to 4 more cards, bet again, then show hands.
Anaconda
7 cards, bet once, pass the trash (3 cards) left, then bet again.
Texas Hold ‘Em
Most popular game these days. Deal 2 down, then bet. Muck one off the deck, deal 3 up (community cards), bet again, deal 1 more up, bet. Deal last card up, bet again and show. Make your hand from the best 5 cards.
7-card stud
Deal 2 down, 4 up (betting inbetween each card), 1 down. Make your hand from the best 5 cards.
5-Card Stud
Deal 1 down, 4 up (bet each card).
6-card stud
Deal 1 down, 4 up (bet inbetween each card), 1 down. Best 5 cards wins.
8-Card Stud
Deal 2 down, 4 up (bet inbetween each card), 2 down. Bet again. Best 5 cards wins.
Baseball
Can be played as 5 or 7 card stud (dealt same way). 9’s wild, 3 up you buy the pot and it’s wild for everybody (otherwise fold).
Jacks or Better
Everyone antes, if nobody has a pair of Jacks or better, you re-deal and ante again (helps build the pot).
Low hand wins
All the games can be played where the object is to have the lowest hand (ie - a pair of twos). Wheel or bicycle is the best hand “A2345″.
My favorite 3 games are Anaconda, Night Baseball, and Texas Hold ‘Em.
