River Down Hold'em, although HE would be REALLY great if you could bet the pot to get a sixth upcard.

If by "bet the pot" you mean pay money dead into the pot equal to it, and it would be optional after, betting has ended, that would be awesome.

Actually, I think that may be a real game, apparently called Alaska Hold'em.

Keep the river, but what about flopping 2 cards and giving an extra round of betting? Or then flopping another 2 for the turn?

[Snoogins47]

Wait, or we could play with 3 cards!

Or wait, better idea! SEVEN community cards!

Even better... SIX community cards, individually dealt rivers!

WAIT! AN EVEN BETTER IDEA!

EIGHT COMMUNITY CARDS, and FIVE POCKET CARDS! but you don't get your 4th and 5th pocket cards until the LAST BETTING ROUND WE'LL CALL IT THE OCEAN LOL YOU'RE GOING TO DROWN IN THE OCEAN LOL

Yeah, they're all out of me.

Actually, I didn't mean to come off as that much of a dick... I guess the problem is, I looked as if I was isolating myself from the madness, as opposed to making fun of it while I'm a part of it. I love thinking about, and playing, weird games and crazy variants. In fact, when I finally talked a few friends into playing "8-Cardmaha Hi/lo" was one of the most fun times I've ever had playing cards. But you gotta admit, it's all pretty silly isn't it?

EDIT: I swear I read somewhere about "Omaha Hold'em" originally being a 2 card game where you had to use both hole-cards, but I could have easily just made that up. That would be a fascinating game, I think.

Makes sense.

because i've been getting hammered on the river lately, i'm beginning to think hold'em would be better without a river.

what say you?

[/ QUOTE ]

Smaller pot sizes, fewer oportunities for your oponents to make mistakes.

Keep the river.
