Archie. Definitely Archie.

In our game we sometimes mix in some Stud7 hi/lo later in the evening. Hated it at first, but starting to enjoy it.
 
No mention of Derailment yet? Weird.

I'm partial to badeucey / badacey / archie / A-5 TD / 2-7 TD
 
BIG O…… enough said.

But, I do not mind a little Archie, dramaha, badugi, 2-7 triple draw, baducey or badacey from time to time.
 
Double board 5-card Omaha8 max/max. Best action
 
What's Everyone's Favorite Game Alternatives to NHLE and PLO? How is it played?
My favorite home game is English Stud.

Deal each player 1 up and 2 down.
Bet
Deal 4th card Up
Bet
Deal 5th card Up
Bet

Now players can exchange one card. Up cards are dealt up. Down cards are dealt down
Bet
Players Change one card a second time.
Bet
Players change cards a third time.
Bet

Showdown.

We often play the game High/Low to create more action.

It can't be played with more than 6 players unless there is a lot of betting and raising and folding.
 
O/8: 2s, 8s, One-Eyed Jacks, Suicide Kings, diamonds and all black cards are wild.
 
Do you discard pre- or post-flop?

My regular group discard pre-flop by default (unless we call Crazy Scrotum) but I know others default is post-flop.

Been calling the game I made up, Shared Custody 8, more recently.
It's usually deal 5 down (sometimes just 4 cards @pltrgyst), pre-flop betting/discard on action, burn and deal flop.

I've also occasionally seen simultaneous discards after pre-flop betting is completed, but I've never seen Scrotum played with post-flop discards. That sorta turns it into a nut-peddler game while removing the tough pre-flop decisions.

Crazy is discard post flop betting. Lazy is discard before showdown. These play better as Scrotum8 but all of it can get nut-peddley for sure.
