Other Variants
Anaconda: Deal seven cards face-down to each player. Each player passes three cards to the left, then takes in three. Do the same with two cards. Do the same with one card. Make your best high or low five-card hand, and stack them. Play
Shotgun, but after the fourth betting round everyone declares high or low, and another betting round follows.
Note that the name "Anaconda" is common, but there are many different versions. This is how we play it.
Common Variation: "Anaconda Revenge" -- same game, passing to the right.
Budget Anaconda:
Anaconda, but the high/low is determined by color. There is no declaration round; instead, if you have more black cards you are high, if you have more red you are low.
Con Game:
Four card stud, dealt 1-2-1 with pass and roll like
Liege Lord - you share a merged hand with the person who passed to you, and split the pot with them.
Monty Python:
Anaconda, but deal as many cards per player as you can while giving everyone the same number. (So the usual seven cards in a seven-player game, but more if you have fewer players.) Then show the remaining cards as common cards in the middle, before passing. You may be playing with a
lot of cards.
Murdock Street: Deal five down. Bet, draw up to two cards, bet. Deal four community cards. Go around, each player may exchange up to two cards with the middle. Bet. (Open rotates.) Your hand is
three from your hand,
two from the table - similar but not identical to Omaha. Split high-low. (No declaration; cards speak for themselves.)
