Shuck'em

This version of poker is very similar to spoons in a way

First, each player is dealt 7 cards. A round of betting ensues, and then each player passes 5 of their cards to the player to their left. Then, another round of betting, followed by each player passing 4 cards to their left. The cycle is repeated until each player passes 1 card, then the final round of betting and then the winner is determined. (best 5 card hand)

This game is great for home games. The game is really unpredictable and it's amazing to watch players have to break up a royal flush because they have to pass 3 to the left, etc. There are LOTS of low straights, low flushes, full houses, and sets and 4 of a kinds. The higher cards are harder to pair etc. because they're desirable and one must really watch what cards they're passing to their opponent to avoid possible 3 of a kinds, full houses, etc.

This game also can make one get broke very easily due to 6 rounds of betting.

Very interesting. I'll have to give it a try. I can imagine the frustration of being dealt a perfect five card hand initially. =Þ

that sounds so EVIL, could possibly get even more annoying than Razz!! i will give it a shot some time.

Played that a few times under the name "annoconda" with some friends.It was extremely fun with 5 of us.Im not sure how it would be on a table with 9 though.But I would like to find out.

sounds... interesting


lol... maybe i'll give it a shot, probably just for fun tho, not sure i'd wanna risk any real money on "shuck 'em" i'll keep that for "hold 'em", thnk u very much

This sounds like fun, but it would have to be a low limit game with so many rounds of betting.

There aren't enough cards to play with 9 people. It's mostly a party game to play when you're shorthanded.

I'll have to give this a try some time. Seems though that you'd have to start w/ a lot of chips w/ all that betting that would be going on.
