Fifty Two
Rules: Seven Stud, but after the last round of betting, everyone takes in their hands, makes one five-card hand and one two-card hand, and reveals simultaneously. The best five-card splits with the best two-card. There is no additional round of betting after you split your hand, since there is no new information.
Analysis: Inspired by
Pai Gow, a popular casino variation, this is an interesting tactical game, trying to figure out how the others will split their hands. Note that a pair of Aces is almost guaranteed half the pot.
