Lord_anarchy 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 My poker buddies call this game 'Egyptian Poker' but when searching for any reference to it by that name online, I cannot find it. So if anyone knows the real name, please share.It's a heads-up only game using one deck. Each player is dealt 5 cards face up, and positioned so they are facing across from your opponents 5 cards. Players then take turns drawing a card, and placing it on one of their other cards, forming columns. You have to finish a second horizontal row, before going onto a third row, third row before fourth, and fourth before fifth, and the you place your fifth row cards face down. You make 5 columns of 5 cards each. Each column represents a poker hand, and at the end, you compare your 5 poker hands to your opponents poker hand that is directly across from it. Essentially, you slowly build each poker hand up 1 card at a time, at the same time forming them so they beat your opponents hand. Bonus points are awarded for make 4 of a kind and higher.Anyone know the name of this game? Link to post Share on other sites

CoolHandKai 0 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 From Daniel's twitter feed (17.04.2011):@RealKidPoker Daniel NegreanuA game w/o bluffing should not be called poker. Badeucy may be fun, but you can't bluff/snow the river since its a split pot game. #notpoker Link to post Share on other sites
