Not trolling, apologies, just making sure I understood, I'd love to pitch the game to my players and I wanted to be explicitly clear. Not a split pot player...yet.

This is one of the most amazing things I’ve read on this site. Chicago with either a high spade or low spade in the hole is a classic stud variant. I always thought it was the first thing everyone learned after the hand rankings, like it was a requirement.
Honestly I think for decades it was THE ONLY circus game anyone knew of.

Sorry? Dont know what to tell you, we don't play classic stud variants.
Not on this coast good sir, here we play San Francisco, not Chicago

Dude every bingo lady at this place has quit. They are brutal for some reason

It’s a tough crowd! Some people take their bingo seriously, playing multiple cards.
I don’t know how many people reside there, but I’d think that you’d have 1-2 full tables if people wanting to play poker.

Got a new player in the game. His name is Ed and he sits next to the other guy, named Ed. Dude got a bunch of boats and the high hand with a straight flush
Sue is a crusher and ended up with 3X buy in last week. ($30) She used to play in a weekly home game for years and still goes to MGM Detroit to play 1/2NLHE. She says stuff like “You gonna at least give me cab fair” or “I need a cigarette after what you just did to me Patrick.” Nobody gets the joke but me. She is my favorite player by far.

LOL. Yeah I’ll tell her that right after I tell everyone to stop splashing the pot. FYI everybody splashes the pot. Everybody.

I've got a monthly cash game I play with guys in the neighborhood. I deal all night and constantly am pulling bets out of the pot and putting them back in front of folks. lol

Haha oh man that is rough. If it was buddies I’d lay down the law.
If it gets too bad at this game i just let the pot be short.

Limit. I’ve never heard a stud game being no limit. I think that would be pretty wild. We don’t even play PLO. Just limit Omaha with a ton of complaining.
Most old folks won’t play NL7S. They can’t handle the swings. Doyle Brunson called it the Tesla of poker.
We start with .5-.25 ante with a big bet of a 25 until 5th street. Then the big bet is .50

Fly down Dallas this weekend. We play stud in a Pot limit format. I don't like it. I will play!

Second time we got the HCL plastics out. These guys absolutely love them and they said they hate my CM Aria’s. We do dealers choice and have started playing more Omaha, Hold ‘em, Pineapple HE and 5 card double draw. Chicago is the main game and is a real hoot but, it’s nice to get some variety.
Tons of cash on the table at the last hand of the night!
Sue wins again! When she is catching cards she absolutely dominates. Bought in for $10 and left with $35. Ed to her left is another crusher. Sue still goes down to MGM and plays 1/2 with her son.

This is a great thread -- but it bothers me that it looks just like my most recent home game.
Except for the oxygen tank. None of those yet...

Hahaha what about a nitrous tank at your home game? I know a few party boys that would show up with balloons.
It’s sad for me that my home game usually doesn’t get enough players to make a 5 handed game. I go to the retirement home and we got people waiting for me to show up, couple railbirds and re-buys. We are a hot dog roller away from this becoming a serious game

No jokers just 2’s wild. You can draw up to 4 first round and up to 2 the second round
What’s higher in wild card games? Straight flush or 5 of a kind?

In our game we have straight flush over 5 of a kind
Not that these games are played much anymore when I read caros “they” usually don’t count 5 of a kind.
Same here. Boat<quads<5 of a kind<straight flush
Nice, when I saw it it was 3/2. With 2 jokers.
At your game can you use 2 dueces as a pair of Aces?
