Re: Bored now. Invent a novel poker variant.
Here is one from my never-been-play-tested (except for dealing hands to myself) file. Its novelty lies in the ranking system (much like badugi).

Mixed Chinese
Does anyone play in a mixed CP game? What I mean is one "orbit" of standard, one orbit of deuce-in-the-middle, or anything like that.
A friend and I play in a casual game where we alternate rounds...

Re: Modern Chinese Poker

You're Wrong. In Chinese high it is well understood that the average hands are the following:
552
9's up
KJ flush
AK up front will win about 40% of the time.

By the way, in case you don't know/remember, you were the hero in both of the above posted hands. I wasn't involved, but I was waiting for a seat. (Not because you were in the game!)
