These games are all poker games that use a standard ranking of hands, but aren't dealt as any of the variations above.
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.
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.
Now starting travel portion of #India trip. Just met up with Laura in Cochin. With a TED group touring Kerala. Seems to be a great dynamic!
