Re: 13-card Nim Poker
"7-card draft"
this was actually invented by some of my dad's friends, and is kind of like roll your own pass the trash or something.
the idea is for it to be a draft like M:TG
Rules:
Each player is dealt 7 cards face down and they pick one, put it face down, and pass the remaining 6 cards to your left(or right, up to the people playing or the dealer or whatever). You continue passing in the same direction, taking one each time. You MAY NOT look at your already picked cards that are down, until you are finished drafting all 7 cards.
Betting part rules:
a)my variation:
Split-pot lo 8 or better(A-5 rules like stud8) betting: half-pot limit
take your seven cards and put them in any order you wish, then when everyone has done this, everyone turns up their top card and the low card brings it in, next round whoever is left does this again, but from now on high showing hand is first to act, do this again and again... until the 7th card if players are still in, when there will obviously be no betting(on the 7th card).
b) my dad's friend's variation
instead of rolling your own with 7, you do it with 5, but you still draft 7.
c)my dad's variation
9lo qualifier instead of 8 lo, the rest is like b)
