Each player gets dealt 13 cards face down.
Then you deal both flops face-open.
Draw one card open at the time in turns.

The excitement is in making the nuts for both hands.

I've played my share of funkified games also, sometimes without having a complete deck.

DESIGH, SIR, DESIGN, PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY....

I mean if we are just gonna do that, try this one, 3-4 guys sitting around a table, hooker or skank standing by. Everyone is given a suit, H/S deals a card face up, if the ace of your suit hits, congrats you get a blow job. If no ace everyone puts in a dollar, last ace gets the money and a bj of course. reshuffle, play again.......I tried to get this in Boulder Station but they said no.........

Name: switch'em

Meh I'll give it a go

Betting rules of limit Hold'em apply

People are dealt three cards, preflop betting round starts with utg and moves around the table as standard.

Before the flop is dealt, each person is asked to remove one card from their hand.

Flop is dealt. Betting round proceeds as in Hold'em.

After betting is done, dealer gets to chose to remove a single card from the flop (dealer being the player with the button, not the actual dealer). This adds an interesting twist to the game, where you, as the button know that you will have an opportunity to remove a card, but other players will be able to better determine your hand by the card you removed.

New flop card is dealt.

Another betting round is inserted here, starting with the dealer, and he has to start with the bet, he cannot check (to remove at least a little bit the advantage he gets for removing one card from the flop).

Turn and river are dealt at the same time now, since there were two betting rounds on the flop, and action proceeds as standard.

I know it is not like super innovative or anything, but just wanted to get some more posts in the thread so other post as well, I might get another one in tomorrow

I will have a crack at one:

Waterfall

In short: Pay to fold, and 6 card board

Details:
1. No blinds, just a button
2. Fold cost set to 1/400th of max buy-in. So at 400NL the cost to fold would be $1. At 100NL the cost to fold would be 25c
3. If you fold the cost to fold on the next hand will increase by 1/400th each time, up to a max of 10/400ths. Eg. Fold 4 hands in a row at 100NL and the 1st will cost you 25c, the 2nd will cost you 50c, the 3rd will cost you 75c, and the 4th will cost you $1. Max fold cost would be $2.50 at this limit.
4. The fold cost is applicable where ever you fold (ie if you fold post-flop you still pay it).
5. Other game play would be as NLHE, but with a 6th card coming on the board after the river. Let's call it the Waterfall card, or the Water card for short. Make your best 5 card poker hand from the 8 cards available to you (your 2 hole cards and the 6 board cards).

If played live, the increasing fold cost would be recorded by little wooden blocks as markers. If you win the hand or reach showdown, then you can clear the blocks out in front of you (because you didn't fold). If you do fold you just leave any blocks out in front of you (if any). Dealer will ask each member to add a block at the beginning of each hand

Poker Pairs

Each player is dealt 8 cards and a 3 card flop is dealt . Everyone pays 1BB , except the btn who pays 2BB.

Betting begins lhe style up to a max of 5 BB

Object of the game is to make 4 poker hands ranked 2 pair or higher (so trips,straights,flushes etc all count) . Only hands using both cards from the player's hand will qualify

The btn gets to act first

If he has 2 cards that can make a 2 pair or better then he shows those two cards and places them face up in front of him , leaving him with 6 cards . Now the next player's turn and so on . If a player cannot make a 2 pair or better hand then he may fold or pay 2BB to discard two cards from his hand and take the top 2 from the deck.

After the orbit a 4th card is dealt into the middle and play continues with players either declaring 2 pair or better hands , folding or paying 2BB to discard 2 cards and get 2 new ones .

The next orbit a 5th community card is dealt , then a 6th , then a 7th etc

The 1st player to make 4 hands thus having no cards remaining will win the pot . Or ofc if everyone folds then the player left in wins the pot.

Reversi

Flop, turn and river get dealt first. Then players get 1 hole card each. Then first betting round. Then 2nd hole card, and 2nd betting round. Then 3rd hole card and final betting round. Players can use 0-2 hole cards, not all 3
