This could be a dumb question but what game are you playing here with 2 'lots' of hold cards? I know you can have 2,4,5 cards depending on the game, but don't think I've seen them at the same time? Thanks!

SOHE - Simultaneous Omaha and Holdem
You are dealt six cards that you split into a four-card Omaha hand and a two-card Hold'em hand preflop. Split pot between the best Omaha hand and the best Hold'Em hand.

Also, SHESHE - Simultaneous Hold'Em and Super Hold'Em. 5 cards split preflop into a 2 card Hold'Em hand and a 3 card Super Hold'Em hand.
 
Hey, thanks for the details. Not heard of these before, SOHE sounds fun. I'm looking to introduce some fun variants when my home game starts up again.

So it's normal flop, turn, river and betting structures?

Lastly, Super Hold'Em, do you keep the 3 cards the whole way through? or is it like Pineapple and you discard? Thanks!

Super Holdem = Texas Holdem, but you get (and keep) all 3 hole cards. Your winning hand must use at least 1 hole card (holdem you may play just the board), and may use 2 or all 3.

Under "Resources" at the top of the page you can find Abby99s Mixed Game Cards. This has every mixed game you would want to play (and some you dont), and they get updated on a pretty regular basis.

Is that how you play it? We've always played that you can use 0-3 hole cards in SHESHE.

@abby99's cards are silent on using 0 cards. Absent an explicit rule to the contrary, I would argue that normal Hold 'Em rules apply (allowing you to play the board).

We play Super-Hold'em with 0-3 hole cards used, but SHESHE with 1-3 on the SHE side.

Super-Hold'em Hi/Lo is an excellent game, but extremely volatile.

So is SuperDuper-Hold'em (4 hole cards, must play 1-3). Great transition game from hold'em to omaha for NLHE players.

Weird that you play Super Hold 'Em differently as a stand alone game and as part of SHESHE... But sounds like the Zombies do it the same way...

Note: @abby's cards don't address this difference explicitly. Maybe it's a Southern thing...

I think it makes it harder to scoop in SHESHE. Otherwise the SHE hand dominates.
 
SHESHE: Simultaneous Hold'Em and Super Hold'Em

I interpret this as the Super Hold'em rules apply to the Super Hold'em side. However, if house rules are that at least one card must play, so be it.

As I've researched variations, I've found that many games have different local rules -- even in professional cardrooms. As with SHESHE, rules vary even among our members' home games. No problem as long as everyone knows the house rules. The same is true for game names. Call Tahoe in different parts of the country and see what happens!

This reminds me of the Free Parking space in Monopoly.
 
Crazy hand of the night.

NLHE. We were playing with a 7-2 rule, so anyone who wins with 7-2 and shows gets paid $2 from everyone at the table.

7-2 went all-in pre-flop for about $50, got called by AK, who got raised all-in for approx $150 total by QQ, who got re-raised all-in by KK who covered everyone. AK and QQ both called.

All turned them over and.... of course, 7-2 took it down with KK collecting a very nice side pot. Fun times.
