Miscellaneous

These games are all poker games that use a standard ranking of hands, but aren't dealt as any of the variations above.

Popular Miscellaneous Variations
Guts

Each player determines whether or not they are holding (playing) their hand. Players who hold reveal their hands. The winner takes the pot and the losers have to match the pot. New hands are then dealt. The game continues until only one player holds, and thus the pot is emptied.

Indian

Do not look at your card! Each player carefully places the card face out on their forehead, taking care not to see the suit and/or rank of their card. Each player can freely view the cards of their opposing players. A betting round ensues as does a showdown.

  • Bean Marriage

    • Players:

      Varies.

    • Initial deal:

      5 cards.

    • Play:

      The BEAN is named after the inventor and the MARRIAGE is because of the commitment involved. There is no set number of players. DEAL 5 cards to each player. Each player then places one card face up in front of them followed by a round of betting. Deal two more cards to each player.(Giving each player six in his hand) Everyone then places another card up in front of them; followed by another round of betting. Deal each player a final two cards.(Giving each player seven in his hand). Everyone will then place another card face up on the table. Each player is trying to build either a high or a low hand face up on the table. Have a round of betting after each card is rolled. High hand and low hand split the pot. This games allows for a lot of bluffing and changing your mind. Always try to start low but leave yourself the option of going for a straight or flush if you have to switch. Lots of times players decide to go high or low on the last card. Please e-mail me if you have some other interesting variations. I will also share some of the other ones I know.
