Pineapple/Crazy Pineapple is usually a fan favorite.

You’re asking about mixed limit games? Easiest for players to learn will be some form of pineapple. You get 3 cards and play Holdem rules.

Crazy Pineapple discard 1 card after the flop but we only play Lazy Pineapple and you keep all 3. It’s basically juiced up holdem. You get 3 cards and can play 0, 1 or 2 from your hand. Good way to lean into Omaha without going all the way.

5 card draw. Super easy to learn.

Heres 5 cards. Bet. Exchange some cards? Bet. Showdown.

And double boards. Even double board holdem. And once they r familiar w pineapple, double board pineapple.

Good way to teach players how to play “split pot” games before they need to grasp hi/lo.

Double draw*^*.

But even 5 card single draw you can’t play when you are mixed in w holdem bc you most likely have too many players.

If you have one player experienced in it that can deal, hands down the best game after Hold’em is the previous Cadillac of poker Seven Card Stud.

Change my mind.

If you have one player experienced in it that can deal, hands down the best game after Hold’em is the previous Cadillac of poker Seven Card Stud 8 or better.

Change my mind.

No limit only, or any stakes?

Showmaha is fun, but out if you're avoiding Omaha. Draw games are fun (2-7 or badugi. 5 card draw to keep it real simple). Pineapple variants are the simplest to transition to since you're just playing hold em with a minor twist. I wanna play more 7-stud but people complain about it being slow. Don't play 5 card stud lol.

Double board hold ‘em, super hold ‘em, and pineapple variations.

Gen X here… No clue.

Give it a whirl though. 7 Card is awesome.

I love split pot stud games.

Got it. We’re overall newer to mixed games so we’re saving split pot games for a little down the road. Great call though.

I think you'll enjoy them.

As you are already playing PLO, maybe add O8 or Big O (5 card O8).

 

[ekricket]

Triple hand holdem is a good one to bridge the gap. Something familiar with some extra moves to ease them into looking at multiple situations at once.

Scrotum. Fixed-Limit, Pot-Limit, or No-Limit, Hi-Only or Hi-Lo, 5-Card or 4-Card, Single-Board or Double-Board. All great games.

 

[jquizo]

If you guys learn Stud, then you can do Stud Hi/Lo and Razz

Low draw games (2-7 triple draw, Badugi)

 

[m700ltr]

How about 2-7 SD?
