• 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.
