Lots of slightly different games go by this name so allow me to define the game. Each player is dealt seven cards. There is a round of betting. Each player passes three cards to the player on his left. There is a round of betting. Each player passes two cards to the player on his left. There is a round of betting. Each player passes one card to the player on his left. There is a round of betting followed by a showdown.
Limit Anaconda:
Starter cards: any trips, two pairs (both pairs high), Aces up, Kings up, four card straight flush (whether open both ends or not) and quads.
End bet: check a small full house, bet any high full house, minimum raise Kings Full, reraise middling quads, cap with straight flush.
Bet any hand the moment you make it to extract maximum value. Small full houses should be bet from the round they are made but checked on the end. Quads or better can be slowplayed.
Never pass a pair (or two cards of the same rank on successive passes) or two straight flush cards.
