Resource abby99's Mixed-Game Cards (3 Viewers) New Version 2020-12-04

Hi @abby99 , thanks for making this. A great resource!

The big bet pages for 5-Card Shodugi, 6-Card Shodugi, and Fusion all have "SB" and "BB" instead of "Bet" in the graphic images. Also, the fixed limit 6-Card Shodugi page has four "BB" instead of two "SB" and two "BB" - is that correct?

I also checked the other bet graphics and I believe all the rest of them are correct.

Irish (under fixed-limit hold'em) shows to deal four hole cards and then discard two after the flop (i.e. before the flop betting). Pagat (here) says the two hole cards are discarded before the turn, i.e. after the flop betting. Similar games such as the Pineapple variants likewise all have discards after the betting rounds but before the next board cards are dealt. Should Irish be changed to match them?

Thanks again,
 
Very much thanks for your working on this marvelous stuff, abby!
By the way, I have been personally making a Japanese translation and my friend are requesting me to share with them. Could you accept my re-distributing that thing to my friends, and if possible, to japanese mixed games players publicly (it will be non-commercial or non-profitable, of course)? If not acceptable, just ignore this message and I will NOT to share but be only for personal use. Thanks.
 
These cards are awesome. I colored the backgrounds, printed them 2x2 on a color laser printer, laminated and cut them. Multiple days' work for this huge stack of cards, but it's worth it. Poker newbies will have a hard time figuring out the details of some more exotic variants, but a routined poker player with average knowledge of domain terms gets all the info they need to learn a new game in condensed form.

Anyway, seems like I missed the previous update from this summer. It seems like there is no changelog? Trying to figure out the differences between my 2018-09-14 version and the brand new one.

It may be how you load the page. I see a change log here:

I don't see an entry for the 2020-06-25 update which is mentioned in the latest one (2020-12-04).

Thanks to @Mrs Poker Zombie for directing you to the list of versions. I haven't been good at listing the changes for each update, and I don't list minor changes.

One can compare any two versions of a PDF file using the full version of Adobe Acrobat, not the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. However, there is free software that can be used. I haven't tested any (I do my comparisons in Word) and therefore can't recommend any. Search for "compare two pdf documents free" to find them.

I keep the current version on both my phone and my tablet. Much easier to browse and/or search, and everybody can have their own copy.
 
Amazing resource I didn't know about until today!

Does anybody have a similar resource for crazy home games not listed here?
A few we play are-
Polish Poker
Little Red Hen
7-Card no Peek
Fish Bowl
Estonian Twist Holdem
Child Support Holdem
6-1/2, 26-1/2
In Between

I really need to start writing them down when we play because I always forget about them until we play them again.
They are probably known by other names too which may not help unless there's a database to compare details of how to play them.
 
Here you go. I misspoke—really, it’s quadruple-board PLO8. I tried to diagram this so that the four possible boards are clear (dotted lines). The flop, turn and river cards are each turned up as a group. The buy/trade option happens after each street is exposed. If played shorthanded, there could also be a buy/trade before the flop, but with more players usually this can only be done twice, if that.

Can you please elaborate on the buy or trade a card?

You pay a small amount to trade in one of your hole cards in exchange for a new card off the stub.

You pay a larger amount to just get an additional card, keeping all of your hole cards.

Can also stand pat.

So by the time of the final betting round on the river you can be holding 4, 5, 6 or 7 cards.

We typically price it 5x for buying compared to trading. For example, $1 to trade or $5 to buy.

Thank you for the clarification!

Did you ever document these games? I'm always curious to learn new games, and I (and many others here) can probably help identify other names if the games you play are the same or similar to existing ones.

I can also mock up a rule card in a similar style to these for any games that don't already have a rule card.
