Opening comment[edit]

Regarding point 6... flushes normally beat straights. This is not a rule variation.

Fixed that!

What's the name?[edit]

A popular poker game in Spain is played with cards 8-A. It is played similar to hold'em, except that one card is dealt at a time and you must use both of your hole cards.

What's it called? - furrykef (Talk at me) 8 July 2005 00:08 (UTC)

That sounds a lot like "Manila", which I understand is also popular in Australia. --LDC 14:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

kill pots[edit]

sometimes it's triggered when a player wins two pots in a row, but in some instances (e.g. foxwoods' 5/10 game with a kill), it's triggered by a single pot over a given amount. see also http://poker.wikia.com/wiki/Foxwoods

lowball[edit]

there are two general flavors of lowball -- ace-to-five, where straights don't play and the best hand is a-2-3-4-5, and duece-to-seven, where straights do play and the best hand is 7-6-5-4-2. reference: http://www.lasvegasvegas.com/poker/chapter11.php
