Jedi Mind Trick
Rules: Choose Your Own, but show the cards one at a time; from lowest showing to highest, choose which other player gets the card. At the end, declare and split the pot high-low.
Analysis: Much harder than conventional Choose Your Own (which is a brain-breaker itself), because you have very little information to work with: reading other peoples' bets is crucial. And since the lowest hand will choose first next time, making somebody else low is a mixed blessing.
