Default If you could only play 5 different games . . . . .

If you could only play 5 different games on your Friday night poker night, which 5 would you pick.

We are trying to get rid of the stupid games that are not really poker.

?? Ideas?

Default Re: If you could only play 5 different games . . . . .

NL Hold 'em

7 stud high/low with a declare (I'm convinced everyone would love this for home games if they'd give it a shot.

TripleDraw lowball (My favorite when it gets shorthanded/end of the night.)

Omaha high/low

5 card draw - no openers required

HORSE, only because without hold'em these days, no one would play. (otherwise, TORSE, though that's too many lowball games)

If it's a rotation game, HORSE. But if it's more like "tonight we'll play x, and next week..." then probably NLHE, PLO (either 8 or high), Razz, 7Stud, and, er... what's the one where you stick one on your forehead? Either that one or draw lowball. (And I'm kidding about one of those.)

I would go for all variants of:

Texas Hold'em
Ohama
Pineapple
7 Card Stud
5 Card Draw

If you're counting each variant as a different game:

NLHE
PLOH
NL Crazy Pineapple
Limit High 7S
Limit 5D

But I don't like split pot games. That's just me. And if you wanted a wider selection of games you could swap out the pineapple for razz. That might be better.
