Classic

Badoogie: 4-card lowball triple-draw. Your final hand can only contain one card of any given rank or suit. So the perfect Badoogie would be the 4-3-2-A, all different suits.

The best four-card Badoogie beats the best three-card, etc.

Chicago: Seven Stud, but the high hand splits the pot with the highest face-down ("hole") Spade.

Criss Cross: Deal four cards down to each player, and five cards face-down in a cross on the table. Bet. Reveal one of the cards on the table; bet. Do four more rounds of revealing a card (usually finishing with the card in the center) and betting. In the showdown, make your best hand from your down cards and either the horizontal or vertical axis of the cross.

Crossroads: Criss-Cross, but the rank of the center card is wild.

Five Card Double Draw: Same as Five Card Draw, but with an additional round of discard and bet.

Five Card Draw: Deal five cards to each player; bet. Each player in turn discards up to three cards, or optionally four if they show that the remaining card is an Ace, and receives fill-in cards. Discards are shuffled if necessary. Bet.

Five Card Stud: Deal one card down and one up to each player; bet. Do three more rounds of dealing one card up and then betting each time.

Seven Card Stud: Deal two cards down and one up to each player; bet. Do three rounds of dealing one card up and then betting each time. Deal one more card down, and final bet.

Shotgun: Deal five cards to each player. Make a stack of your cards and lay them in front of you. Play four rounds of everyone revealing their top card simultaneously, then betting. You may not change the order of your cards after you stack them.

Texas Holdem: Deal two cards down to each player; bet. Deal three common cards to the center (the "flop") and bet. Deal one more to the center (the "turn") and bet. Deal a final card to the center (the "river") and bet. You can use any combination of your two private cards and the five up cards to make your final hand.
