that cursewell sounds like a pretty interesting game, I would find it really hard to bet with only one card on the table though...
I found the game that I was talking about in my original post.. Its actually called Padooki.
Padooki is a lowball 4 card game, so the idea is to make the worst possible hand.
There is a round of betting after cards are dealt, and then players can discard up to 3 cards. After this, there are two more rounds of betting which proceed in the same fashion.
A Padooki is any 4 card hand where all cards are of a different suit. A234 of all different suits is the best possible Padooki.
At showdown, If two players have a Padooki, the lowest possible Padooki wins. If no one has a Padooki, the lowest possible hand wins (each having at least two cards of the same suit). Ranking of hands is determined by going from highest card to lowest card such that A279 beats A23J. |
