Choose Your Own
This is five stud except that all upcards from third street on are placed in the middle of the table (one card per active player) and the player with the worst board showing chooses one of the upcards and adds it to his board and then the next worst board showing player does likewise and so on until all the cards are taken. After the upcards have been added whowever is high bets.
For example;
the first down and first upcard being dealt as normal,
Me: (A)2
Herbert Yardley: (?)7
Albert Morehead: (?)K
Norman Zadeh: (?)Q
just the four of us after the betting on second, the upcards for third are dealt in the middle:
A, K, 7, 2
I choose the A, which gives away i have an A face down and not a 2. Yardley chooses the 7, forcing Zadeh to choose K and Morehead takes the 2.
There is a round of betting, leaving just two:
Me(A)2A
Yardley (?)77
the upcards are now dealt to the middle:
7, K
I am worst hand showing and take the 7 obviously, Yardley has the K but he passed up one before so it won't help him.
I bet, he calls:
Me (A)2A7
Yardley: (?)77K
the last two upcards are:
7, K
I take the 7, and Yardley takes the K.
I bet confidently and Yardley calls for size of pot.
