Liverpool rummy. Man I thought I was the only one that stilled played that.

 

I love to play Sheepshead with friends and family. I'm from Wisconsin and apparently not alot of people know the game.

 

Usually when my family gets together we get too drunk to count. We don't need to play any drinking games. Usually just try to play a simple game like Blitz.

 

Every weekend our poker table is full just about. Texas holdem, jacks trips progressive, baseball, mexican sweat, high chicago.

 

Euchre, and poker,
I havn't played canasta in a while

 

used to play Euchre, and Rummy. Lately it's been 5 card and Texas holdem

 

hold em, canasta, rummy. Want to play raz sometime, it looks kinda interesting. Blind man's bluff, what a game.

I was just watching a movie and somebody asked his freinds if they wanted to play a game called a**hole and I was wondering if anyone knew what that was and how to play it???

 

Seven card stud Hi/Lo, Omaha Hi/Lo, and Texas hold 'em.

 

IMO, ******* is a terrible game. Maybe thats cuz I'm always the *******.

To play, you deal out all the cards. Then one person starts the game by laying down 1 or more cards. They must be a set though (pair of 3's, three 7's, etc.) Then the next person must lay the same number of cards, but ranked higher in the deck. (I start with two 3's, and you play two 4's). However, if you were to play two 3's, the the play would skip the person beside you. Play keeps going until no one can play on the pile. However, you can choose not to play, but I will explain this later. Play does not have to go numerically. For example, if I play two 3's, don't have to play two 4's. You could play anything higher than a 3. The play keeps going up to the face cards. After Ace come deuce. You need one 2 will to play on two Aces, two deuces to play on three Aces, and three deuces to play on four Aces. After the deuce comes Joker, and nothing beats a Joker, and only one Joker is needed to play on anything. Once one round is done, another starts, with the last person to play starting the next round. This keeps going until everyone is out of cards.

You can choose not to play on a pile if you feel you will need your cards later in the round. This is only done with a deuce or Joker though.

In a 4 person game, the first person to run out of cards is called "President." The second is "Vice President". Third is called "Vice *******", and last is "*******." In a 5 man game, the 3rd person is neutral, 6 man 3rd and 4th are neutral, and so on.

Once the cards are dealt out for the next hand, the ******* must give his 2 best cards to the president, and the president gives his 2 worst cards to the *******. The vice pres. gives his worst card to the vice ******* in exchange for his best card. Then the game continues with the president starting play.

Here's how the cards rank:
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A,2,Joker

As far as strategies go, don't ask me cuz I have no clue. Like I said, I'm pretty much always the *******.

I hope this helps and isn't too confusing. If it is I will try to re-explain the game.

P.S. - I'd like to make a shoutout to myself for being on a 3 game texas holdem winning streak. 4 games where I've made money. Look out WSOP, here I come!

 

'Yall want to know a real high priced betting game? It's called 7-27. The pot is split at the end with the person closest to 7 taking half, and the person closest to 27 taking the other. Sometimes, in a tie, one person takes half, and two split the other half. Everybody gets one card dealt down, and one up. Then, the person next to the dealer bets. Whatever amounts of bumps or the $$ limit per bet everyone agrees on. Once the bet has gone around and stopped, another card is dealt up. After the first card, all cards are face up. Twos are two, threes are three, etc. Face cards are half a point. Aces are 1 or 11 and can be played as both, so if you have a 5 and two aces, you have 7 and 27. Usually, and subsequent rounds, the bet advances, so on the second round, the person two seats down from the dealer starts. You don't have to take a card to stay in, just keep your betting current. Once you go a round that noone takes a card, that's the last bet. If there are 4, 5 or 6 people playing, the pots can get huge.

 

Sheepshead is an awesome game that I love to play too! It has been a while since I played it and it is really hard to find the rules for it! But it is a lot of fun. Must be a midwest thing

I also like any type of poker. For those of you who like Texas hold em, Try Omaha hold em. Instead of 2 cards in your hand you get 3. There is also what we call Macomb hold em in which you have 4 cards in your hand! Probably not the proper name for that but that's what we call it. Everything else is the same. Makes it really intersesting. What I like is all the different games of poker you can have. For instance we play Chase the ace, low Chicago. Also criss cross. Or roll your own. There is also Diablo. These are all just different versions of 7 card poker with wild. Really fun.

I also like Eucher (sp) hearts. Gin rummy. Spades. Hi-lo. Just to name a few. And my new game is Uno blast with the kids of course!

 

we play that game a lot too. It can get pretty high pots. But the one that we always seem to get the highest is 5's and 10's. You ante up and then get 5 cards. 5's and 10's are wild. If you want to stay in you will if not the dealer will say"1,2,3 drop" (when everyone is ready). If you want out, drop your cards. Otherwise stay in pay a quarter or whatever the originol ante was and you will get 2 more cards face up. So you will have 7 cards to make your best 5. Everything is the same for what beats what except 5 of a kind will beat a royal flush. Whowever stays in will see who has the better hand. Winner will take the pot and loser will match the pot. Then re -deal and start with everyone again. Keep going until 1 person stays by himself. Then his hand has to beat the top 7 of the deck (the B%*ch hand if you will). If he does then he wins the final pot. If not, pay up and keep going.

So if you have 5 guys starting with just $.25 ante the first pot is $1.25 Say 4 guys stay in. They each paty an extra $.25. So now you have $2.25. 3 guys lose each paying $2.25. next pot wil be $6.75. 4 guys stay again. Now the pot will be $7.75 to be paid so the next pot will be $23.25. And so on and so on. It's really tempting to stay in when there are alot of wilds in your hand. But most often you have to have at least four of a kind to have a chance at winning. We play it a lot.

 

Don't really know any card games...Fish, War, Concentration, , that's about all I ever learned as a kid, and haven't played any of them since. I'm too anti-social to actually sit down and play a card game, besides, I have no friends around here, thus no one to play any card games with. Guess I could learn Solitare on the computer, but it just doesn't interest me. -TD
