Default Re: Bored now. Invent a novel poker variant.

each player is dealt 3 cards, one face up.
after the first round of betting, each player passes one card to his left.
if he passed the face up card, he gets 2 more cards and discards another 2 cards.
at the point of this discard, any player may yell BENJAMIN HOLLOWS and if so, randomly exchanges one of his down cards with a discard.
in the event that this card pairs his hand, he turns over those two and each player antes X amount where X is the number on the paired cards times the big bilnd.
next comes the flop. 3 cards.
if the flop is monotone, each player discards all cards of that color and receives new cards for each discard.
at this point, all players must announce their hand, based on the following rules:
if the cards are all numbers, they must tell the truth.
if they are all face cards, they must lie.
if they are one face card and two numbers, they must pretend to lie but tell the truth under their breath.
if vice versa, they must pretend to tell the truth about 2 of their cards and must lie about the third one while intentially "accidentally" turning it over.
each player then ante's 10x the pot, for no reason.
the final 2 cards are then dealt.
the best 5 card hand wins the pot. unless the pot is an odd number. then its lowball. if the pot is a prime number, its H/L.
