How to play, scarney? (3 Viewers)

Anyone clarify able to clarify variant differences?
Think that game card helper could be updated.

Regular: 6 cards.
? Does losing all 6 kill hand?

Icelandic: 5 cards, losing all 5 kills hand.

Canadian: 6 cards, losing all 6 gives nut low and can play board for hi, but can only call.
? Any penalty for no apology?

My game plays this under three different rules with regard to losing call cards to the dead board. We play bomb-pot style (all ante 1; action starts on the flop).

Regular: Losing all cards is a 0 low. You have the low nuts. No special betting restrictions.
Dirty: Losing all cards kills your hand.
Frankie: Losing all cards wins the whole pot outright. (Bit of a niche one at the moment.)

We also play with a variety of hole-card counts (down to 1; always Dirty) so we can play it any-handed. Playing this with a Hold'em-sized field is interesting.

Gaaaaaah. There's gotta be rules. Defined, clear, neat knowns. Think I've wandered into a place where that doesn't apply; Scarneyland. That or no one really knows.
