Wild cards, matching the pot, and a fiery cross!

The game of poker offers much more than 👍 traditional poker games. While many players today are accustomed to more games played in a casino or poker room – 👍 games like Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and Seven Card Stud – others may remember losing their shirts in a crazy home 👍 game.

Those games at the kitchen table or back room with all sorts of differing card numbers, wild cards, and other 👍 caveats make for some unique action at the tables.

Here’s a look at some of those games. Grab your lucky charm 👍 and don’t get too angry – in some of these games, suckouts are definitely on the menu.

#1 – Vanunu

This was 👍 one of Daniel Negreanu’s favourite games growing up in Toronto, and he’s referenced it often. Players are dealt all seven 👍 cards face down and roll their own, one at a time. Bets are made until there are five upcards and 👍 two downcards.

This card game then becomes a bit of an auction. Players can pitch a card back in, and buy 👍 another after the last card is dealt face up, paying a predetermined amount for an upcard and twice that for 👍 a downcard.

In Negreanu’s version, each player had to declare low, high, or both by dropping coins on the table simultaneously 👍 – one for low, two for high, or three for both. Players declaring both must win both ways, or they 👍 aren’t awarded any of the pot. Additionally, if there are only multiple low declarations, the best low hand scoops the 👍 entire pot with no high hand. It’s a unique game with many variables.

So, this one can go from High-Low to 👍 Lowball, and players better get those declarations right. Declaring both ways and then missing – that can be costly. Hopefully, 👍 you’ll have Daniel’s reads and rake plenty of pots.

#2 – Pineapple and Crazy/Lazy Pineapple

Pineapple poker has a “tropical twist” on 👍 traditional Texas Hold’em and has become much-loved by many. In Pineapple, a player is dealt three cards and then discards 👍 one before the first round of betting. The betting continues like in traditional Texas Hold’em.

In Crazy Pineapple, players don’t discard 👍 until after the flop. All other rules of Hold’em then apply. In Lazy Pineapple, players can hold onto the three 👍 cards and then discard one after the river and last round of betting.

What’s the catch? The extra card and discard 👍 element add an extra twist, and it inevitably seems like a player pitches the wrong card back into the muck. 👍 You may have kept that top pair, but that discarded card may have brought a straight. That deuce tossed in 👍 the muck may have turned into trips with runner-runner 2s.

It’s enough to drive you crazy, but a fun game nonetheless 👍 – and maybe worth serving up a nice frozen one too along with the poker. Enjoy!

#3 – Criss Cross, Fiery 👍 Cross, or Iron Cross

There can be some significant anticipation in this game. Each player is dealt four cards, and five 👍 cards are also dealt face down in a “cross” formation in the centre of the table. After a round of 👍 betting, one of the outside cards is turned up. Betting then continues, and this pattern continues until only the centre 👍 card is face down.

The centre card is turned last, and a final bet is made. Players have the option to 👍 use two, three, or four of their cards and either the vertical or horizontal cards on the board and two 👍 of their own.

There are numerous variations. Some allow for players to use more than two of their hole cards or 👍 feature a high/low split. Another common addition is to make the centre card wild – making for some interesting showdowns. 👍 That centre card could change your hand entirely – good or bad. What had been a solid hand, can now 👍 be a costly loser.

#4 – Irish Poker

This game combines a bit of Texas Hold’em and Omaha – and, hopefully, a 👍 little luck of the Irish when it comes to your own hand. Players begin with four cards and betting follows 👍 pre-flop in the traditional style.

However, after the betting on the flop, players must discard two cards. The game is then 👍 played out as in Hold’em. The discarding makes for some unique opportunities to cobble together a hand, but would those 👍 two cards you threw away have made a better hand once the turn and river are dealt?

No doubt, there will 👍 be plenty of thoughts like this at the table:

“Damn, I’d have made a full house!”

“Those two spades on the turn 👍 and river would have made me the nut flush if I’d kept that King. Argh!” Irish poker has a bit 👍 more swing than Hold’em, and the above statements are all part of the fun. Just really think about those cards 👍 you’re sending back.

#5 – Black Mariah or Low Chicago

Sometimes it pays to do nothing more than get lucky. That certainly 👍 applies in these games. Black Mariah and Low Chicago are versions of Seven-Card Stud. In Black Mariah, the player with 👍 the high spade in the hole wins half the pot. That’s it. No three-betting, slow playing, or in-depth analysis about 👍 any hand. Just get lucky enough to be dealt that low spade and then keep that pot building – half 👍 of it is yours.

This was a favourite of Phil Hellmuth growing up in Wisconsin. It must have been an interesting 👍 sight to see the Poker Brat’s 3♠ beaten by the 2♠. That might have brought a bit of a rant. 👍 The game is also often called Low Chicago with High Chicago being the opposite – the player with the highest 👍 spade in the hole splitting the pot. This may not involve a lot of skill, but it can make for 👍 some big pots.

Some players add a side pot to these games instead of splitting the pot. Hellmuth’s games got even 👍 crazier, often with Deuces, One-Eyed Jacks, and Suicide Kings as wild cards. The name “Black Mariah” may derive from the 👍 villain in the Luke Cage Marvel comics. In the game, however, Black Mariah is a hero – and can bring 👍 you plenty of profits.

#6 – Badugi

Be prepared to get confused or frustrated. This game has gained more popularity in recent 👍 years with its inclusion in some of the mixed games tournaments at the World Series of Poker and in the 👍 WSOP 2024, Badugi had dedicated bracelet events for the first time. But it's certainly different from traditional poker.

Badugi is a 👍 lowball game in which players are dealt four cards. The game is played with blinds and features three drawing rounds. 👍 After betting, a player can keep all his cards (called standing pat) or discard some or all.

Play continues until all 👍 players have folded except one, or the third drawing round is completed. The goal is to make the lowest hand 👍 possible without a pair and all cards of a different suit. For example, A♥ 2♣ 3♦ 4♠ would be the 👍 lowest possible Badugi. A hand with a pair or second card of the same suit, such as A♥ 2♣ 3♦ 👍 7♣ or 6♥ 7♣ 8♦ 8♠, would only qualify as a three-card Badugi. Either of these hands would lose to 👍 a completed four-card Badugi. Straights and flushes don't count towards making a hand in Badugi.

And that’s what can be frustrating. 👍 You may have A♥ 2♣ 3♦, and then keep drawing another diamond, club, or heart – ouch!

Ready to mix this 👍 poker game up even more? Badeucy is a combination of Badugi and 2-7 Triple Draw. Like Badugi, it features three 👍 rounds of betting and drawing. The game splits the pot between the best four-card Badugi hand and the best five-card 👍 2-7 hand. However, Aces count high in this game, so the best Badugi hand would start with a 2, hence 👍 the name of the game. For example, a player holding 2♣ 3♥ 4♠ 5♦ 7♦ would have the nuts in 👍 both Badugi and 2-7 – with the 2♣ 3♥ 4♠ 5♦ as the best possible Badugi.

The challenge is that an 👍 extra card makes it easier for players to make some lower Badugi hands. Higher Badugis will not win as often, 👍 so that can be a challenge, especially in a game where players making solid hands will continue to bet and 👍 grow the pot.

It’s a challenging game that makes you think, but can be costly if you hang on too much 👍 hoping to outdraw opponents. Think low in this Lowball/Lowball split pot game. Got all that?

#7 – Anaconda

Pass, pass, roll those 👍 cards. This is a bastardised version of Seven-Card Stud in which players are dealt seven cards face down. There is 👍 a round of betting and players then pass three cards to a player to the left or right (determined by 👍 the dealer). After another round of betting, players then pass two cards, and then finally one last card after another 👍 round of betting.

Players then place their best five cards in a stack face down. Cards are exposed one at a 👍 time followed by a betting round until all five are exposed. Some players play with only two rounds of card 👍 passing, and it’s also often played as a high-low split.

It can be a frustrating affair. You’ll often have to break 👍 up an already nicely setup hand. And when you try going low, your neighbours will inevitably pass you plenty of 👍 high cards.

Where did the name come from? That may be lost with time, but perhaps it’s about the long time 👍 for betting or the snake of cards working their way around the table. Whatever the inspiration, it can be a 👍 fun game with plenty of action.

#8 – Three-Card Guts

This game can take some real courage – and quickly empty your 👍 wallet. In this unique poker variant, players are dealt three cards and can decide whether to play their hand or 👍 not by simultaneously dropping a chip in the centre of the table. The winner takes the pot, and the losers 👍 match it. For example, if three players stay and there isR$5 in the pot, the two losers each pony up 👍 making for a newR$10 pot.

The process repeats until only one player is raking the entire pot. The game builds some 👍 significant action and fun. Winning those big pots takes some guts as the name implies, and pots can really balloon 👍 if several players stay in and have to match the pot.

What started as aR$10 pot becomesR$40 if four players stay 👍 in. If three more then stay, that becomesR$120. If three more remain? Well, you see where this is going. Have 👍 you got the guts?

#9 – Cincinnati

Here’s yet another geographically named poker game. In this one, each player is dealt five 👍 cards face down. Five cards are also dealt face down in the middle of the table with each exposed one 👍 at a time, followed by a round of betting. After the final round, players use any of their hole cards 👍 and those on the board to make their best five-card hand.

This isn’t Big O – you have five cards to 👍 make your best hand. It can make for some huge hands! Be ready to have your flush or straight beaten 👍 regularly. Don’t be a lamebrain.

Speaking of lamebrains, an alternate version is known as Lamebrain Pete, and the lowest card on 👍 the board is considered wild – making for an even crazier twist on an already crazy game as players hope 👍 one of their low cards ends up being wild.

#10 – 2 and 22

No man’s land out in the middle won’t 👍 work in this one. This split pot game is quite a bit different from regular poker games. An Ace can 👍 be used as 1 or 11 as in Blackjack. However, face-card count as half. Players are dealt one card face 👍 down, and one card face up. The goal is to get as close to 2 or 22 to split the 👍 pot. After being dealt two cards, there is a round of betting and players can decide to take another or 👍 stand-pat.

Players who pass three times are locked and can’t take more cards. After everyone is locked or no one takes 👍 a card, there is a showdown. The added fun in this one may be the unique bluffing. Players with a 👍 low up card tend to bet at a pot and at least bluff at the low. If no one else 👍 has a high up card, that makes for a smart play. A player may have a King up but still 👍 have a high card underneath. The savvy bluffer may actually win the low with a 10-1/2.

A player dealt a 2 👍 down, and a King up has 2-½, an excellent hand. Also, a lucky player dealt Ace-Ace will win the pot 👍 both ways and certainly be looking to build the pot. There can be some added frustrations. In this game, low 👍 beats high so a player with 21-½ would top a player with 22-½ – and 2-½ would be topped by 👍 1-½. Also, a player going high may be close to that completed hand and keep getting low cards, and then 👍 boom – a 10 hits your hand and ruins it all. There are numerous variations, but it’s a fun game 👍 to shake things up.

#11 - Mexican Sweat

Mexican Sweat makes decision-making in Hold'em seem like a walk in the park. In 👍 this game, each player is initially dealt seven hole cards and then two cards are dealt face up in the 👍 middle of the table. The first card is the kill card, which means that any hand with this card must 👍 be folded immediately. The second is the card to beat. The players may not look at their cards.

After the initial 👍 deal, the player to the left of the dealer is the first one to act. They begin revealing their hole 👍 cards, one at a time with the objective of beating the high card in the middle. For example, let's say 👍 the card in the middle is an 8. The player would need to flip a 9 or higher, a pair 👍 of any rank, a flush, a straight etc. If they turn another 8, it's not enough to beat the 8 👍 in the middle.

When the player successfully beats the card in the middle, they immediately stop revealing cards. A betting round 👍 begins, led by the active player and, after it's done, the player to the left starts flipping their cards. This 👍 time, though, they're not trying to beat the high card in the middle, but the exposed portion of the hand 👍 of the player that precedes them.

But there's another twist. Remember the kill card? If a player reveals a card of 👍 the same rank as the kill card, they must fold immediately and forfeit the possibility of winning the pot. Now 👍 imagine knowing as much about your hand as your opponents and having to bet based on that. Hard enough for 👍 you?

#12 - Follow the Queen

If you're a fan of Seven Card Stud, you will love this one. Follow the Queen 👍 plays out just like a Stud game. Each player is dealt 2 cards face down and 1 card face up. 👍 This is followed by a betting round that is started by the player with the lowest face-up card. Then each 👍 player gets dealt another face up card, one by one, until each has 7 cards total, with a betting round 👍 in between each deal.

The twist? There are wild cards. Every Queen that is dealt face up becomes a wild card 👍 and the card dealt after the Queen also becomes wild for every player. So let's say a player is dealt 👍 a Queen and the next player is dealt a deuce. Now Queens and Deuces are wild and any player with 👍 a Deuce has a wild card. If another Queen is flipped, then the previous wild card is no longer wild 👍 and the one dealt after that Queen becomes the new wild card for everyone who holds one.

And that's the fun 👍 of it! Not only do you need to account for what each opponent might have considering their up-cards, but now 👍 you also need to consider the possibility of wild cards coming into play. Can you imagine your friends whining each 👍 time a Queen changes everything?

Find out how to set up a private home game on 888poker for you and your 👍 friends to play.
