oceansize 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thinking about those dealer call games I played in college, I was wondering if folks would want to share the specifics of the many different card games you've played over the years or perhaps not in decades.I'll start. I loved Black Maria. Essentially it was just Seven Card Stud with a twist. When the Queen of Spades surfaced in the up cards of any player in the hand, it was constituted a misdeal, the pot stays, all players still in the hand re-ante, and the hand is re-dealt.I loved that because it was such a fun social loose game and for the nickels and dimes we played with, it had awesome pot building potential. More or less it was like buying scratch offs, but a fun one nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites
knght311 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Any Kind of Chicago...Black Mariah/Pariah, Spit in the Ocean..Railroad...2-3 gut..Midnight basebal...Miller time(a game named after me, basically 5 card draw 6's were wild) Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Kings and little ones - gotta have a king to have a little one.three thirty three - threes are wild and you need one to open.fives and tens - 5's and 10's are wild and you need at least one of each to open it.threes, sixes and nines - 12 wild cards; I always hated this game.Acey Deucey - aces and deuces wild.Hi Chicago/Lo Chicago - basically the same as seven card stud except the lowest or highest spade in the hole gets half the pot depending on whether you're playing hi or lo.Bingo - everyone gets 5 cards. 13 cards are peeled off 1 at a time. If a card is peeled off that you have you muck it. First one to muck all 5 cards gets bingo. No bingo means everyone pays a predetermined amount for each card left. Repeat until someone gets bingo. 4 of a kind is -EV!So many more..... Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 No peak, AKA night baseball.I play this constantly in my Dad's game, bunch of older guys who just play for fun, dealers choice. You'll get every goofy-ass wild card game in the book thrown on the table in his game, and if the cards aren't with you it's pretty much a sure thing that you'll drop at least 50 bucks. Follow the Queen, Follow the Pair, Night Baseball, Good, Bad and Ugly, Low Spade Splits...it's crazy but it's fun to take a night off from "serious poker" once a month.

Fun stuff.I'm glad I don't play these anymore. I could just see me checkraise two 80 year old people. No nice. Link to post Share on other sites
leftygolfer 7 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Kings and little ones - gotta have a king to have a little one. LOL:We called it Kings and little men... 5 card draw, kings and low card was wild. Winners were usually boats, 4 and 5 of a kind. Saw a few paychecks go into the pot over the years.Guts, Pimp Guts, Pimp Guts with a Twist....3 card poker, pimp was one card up and the high card had to stay in, twist had the up card and any matches also stayed in.Screw your Neighbor ...one card pass to the leftCriss cross, trips to win. deal 4 and play 3 horizontally or verticallyAnd my all time fav - Between the Sheets...no need to explain.

kers2 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I played them over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Love playing 3 card Monte. Other games I can do without. They're obviously a crapshoot but fun times with the family. Nothing too crazy with wilds until you get to my sister's bf. "Follow the Queens Black Mariah, Low in the Hole is wild and 7's are wild"So that means just about half the deck is wild and you cant go to the river without packing 5 aces, you just cant.

ajs510 122 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 My Dad called out a game I'd never heard of before as the last game of the night, something about "Fours and Whores and One-Eyed Jacks, Suicide Kings, Natural Sevens takes all. Basically, every Four and Queen in the deck is wild, half the Kings and Jacks are wild, and if you have a natural pair of Sevens, you win regardless of what anyone else has. I ended up taking a $60 pot (of quarters, mind you) with Five 9's which beat out Five 3's and a straight flush. No one had the Sevens (it was a 7-stud variation). Link to post Share on other sites

"Dueces and Jacks, the man with the Ax (king of diamonds), and a natural pair of 7's takes the cake"Same idea, you're right about "The King with the Axe", I knew Suicide Kings wasn't right...I think the way we played was "Fours and Whores and One-Eyed Jacks, the King with the Axe and a natural pair of sevens takes all."Yup, that's it. Crazy game, even if you have 5 aces you still have to be nervous about those 7's. Link to post Share on other sites
