Re: Double-flop Hold \'em
Letting an uninvolved player make the crucial decision is rediculous. The mechanics of voting look very difficult; declare verbally according to position? Also, many folks who miss the flop can deliberately affect the outcome in their friends favor by voting for their flop.
You could just let there be two boards to the end; winner is the one with the highest ranking hand overall. You could have the nut straight on one board and lose to the full house from the other. I played in such a game featuring 3 boards. Folks figured out quickly that winning hands were almost always top full house; thus folks never played little cards.
You could also have one pot for each flop but that gets hard to manage.
You could also just play it split pot; best hand on each flop wins half the pot. As in other split games, push hard hands that can win both pots or are big favorites in one pot. Suited connectors go way down in value since you will usually be contesting only one pot.
