Anaconda is a classic in hy homegames. Its a 7s bastard.

Each player is dealt 7 cards, he then discards 3 cards and hands them to the player on his left. He now reviews his new 7 cards, selects the best 5-card hand and places it face down on the table. Each player reveals his first downcard and a round of betting follows, this continues with a betting round per turning of the first 4 cards. Betting structure pretty much follows 7s, so there is some strategic considerations to be made in your chosen way of revealing your cards (bluff, wanting them to think you bluff, position etc.)

Can also be played HI/LO. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's a game out outrageous bluffs, valiant use of reads and some good memory skills...fun stuff.

Other than that, I think conventional poker wisdom tells to select games that give a strong positional advantage when holding the button (draw, hold'em, omaha etc.)
