What poker variations do you play?

JudasHero asked:
Right now, Texas Hold Em is arguably the most popular form of poker, and I believe Omaha, 7 card stud and 5 card draw are still played quite often. Do you play any other variation of poker? If so, what do you play and what do you like about it?

I have played a variation called “Anaconda”, which is a form of 7 card draw. Each player is dealt 7 cards. One round of betting takes place, and then each player must PASS 3 of his cards to his right. This means if you were dealt a straight, a flush or a full house, your hand just got screwed. After the pass, another round of betting, and then you pass 2 cards. Then another round, pass 1 card, another round and the show down. It’s interesting to get, say, 3, 3, 7, 7, A, K, 10 because in that situation, you have two pair, but to keep it you’d be forced to pass 3 high cards to your opponent.

Surviving a poker tournament?

This is the first time I’m going to a Caribbean Stud Poker tournament.
This is the first time I’m going to a Caribbean Stud Poker tournament.
Each player will be given $5000 non-negotiable chips in the preliminary stage, which (from what I heard) has 16 or 15 rounds. I calculated that I have about $300 per round ($100 ante, $200 bet) - but almost everyone will be doing the same thing. Is there a better way?
Because obviously, if I don’t win enough, I won’t qualify for the quarter finals. When do I increase my bet to catch up? What can I do if I’m doing poorly for a few rounds?
da_hal,
I don’t think it’s lame. I love Caribbean Stud Poker.

Most probable hand in a 7-card poker game?
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
Jonathan S asked:
What’s the most probable kind of 5-card hand in a 7-card poker game, like stud or hold’em? (no pair, one pair, two pair, 3-of-a-kind, etc.) What’s the 2nd most probable?

Extra credit (whatever that means) if you give the actual probabilities. (Calculations aren’t necessary, so don’t hurt yourself.)
Remember, it’s a 7-card hand (that is, best 5-card hand out of 7 cards), so the probablilities are different than a normal 5-card hand.
