[RocAFella1]

Florida man is a great beer. I hope @k9dr has some

Somehow sounds better than Busch Light Peach
But alas, we are committing derailment on this thread

Craig’s favorite rotation:

- Scarney
- Whatgameisthis
- Draw All The Things
- Archie Hi Hi Lo Get Me Drink
- Chikkenwinngahs

 

[bergs]

In fairness, my favorite rotation:

- Scarney
- Broken Levee - I spill drinks repeatedly
- Tiltaspew - exactly as it soibds
- Double Fisted Bum Bum Board - Double board Omaha hi only but I’m drinking a beer and a margarita simultaneously and halfway through the turn being exposed I suddenly decide this is hi lo with a draw
- Bing Bong - basically turns any game into a hi lo game with a draw until flipupchip tells me more Jbutler / Bob Dylan stories
- Physical Comedy - best played HU with MattB and something serrated
- Irish Omaha - this is the one where I stick it in on the flop and walk away soundlessly when the turn is exposed

As the worlds leading Sviten fan… I must admit after @quintooo taught Route 66 one beautiful evening in a cramped apartment in National Harbor… I now consider 6 players a full table and cringe when we get the 7th and have to go back to Sviten! lol but I love them both honestly!!

1) Route 66
2) Sviten
3) Canadian Scarney with the Kill
4) ultimate high/low 5 card Omaha
And while I want to say Dramaha49, I am going to stay a pure poker player and choose a traditional 7 card game just for @ChaosRock and @Lil Tuna
5) Tahoe pitch n Roll

Not opposed to
- scrotum… but no thanks to scrotum 8, easiest way to donk off 5 buy ins! It’s dangerous and if you don’t know mixed games don’t ask about this one!!
- omahajack - this one really should be top 5 because it is a lot of fun though it rarely gets traction at meet ups.
- derailment - you have to be willing to gamble and I personally find at lower stakes the pots don’t get huge because most are worried about their board going away… I would rather play a pot building game, but I don’t mind derailment.
- 3:2:1 or slide - always lots going on for people to pay attention to and always the game that should be played when you have holdem players thinking about playing mixed games… if you want them to join, then skip 321 but if you want them to go away just throw one board up there, “12 cards on the board!! Screw that!!”

Games I’m not really fond of!
- SOHE
-SheShe
- multi draw games : 2 - 7 triple draw, Badugi,
- pineapple variants (might as well just play boring Holdem)
- and last but not least… double board golden is not a circus game! It should never even be used for bomb pots! 4 cards minimum at all times!!!

More cards is gooder… but 4 cards are minimum!!!

The End

Try Route 56

 

[Ben8257]

Try Route 56

Sounds like less cards Chris! Never suggest versions of games with less cards! More is gooder

i asked chat gpt how to play "ticket my balls"

Ticket My Balls – A Poker Variant
Setup:
Played with a standard 52-card deck.
Can be played with 3 to 8 players.
Uses poker hand rankings as in Texas Hold’em.
Rules:
The "Ticket" System

Each player starts with three "tickets" (represented by chips, slips of paper, or other markers).
Players can use a ticket at any time before showdown to buy one of the following advantages:
"Ballsy Move" – Swap one hole card with the top card of the deck.
"Re-Ticket" – Buy back into a hand they folded, but only before the turn.
"Double Down" – Instead of calling a bet, double it and force the next player to call or fold.
Gameplay Structure:

Each player gets two hole cards (like Texas Hold’em).
A five-card community board is dealt in the usual flop-turn-river format.
Players bet in rounds, but tickets can be used at any time.
The "Balls" Factor

If a player runs out of tickets, they must play every hand all-in until they win a pot.
This creates a "high-risk, high-reward" tension—hence, you need real balls to survive.
Winning the Game:

Standard poker rules apply for winning pots.
A player who loses all their chips and has no tickets left is eliminated.
Why is it called "Ticket My Balls"?
"Ticket" comes from the special tickets players use to make wild moves.
"My Balls" is because once you're out of tickets, you're forced into an all-in frenzy—requiring guts (or "balls") to survive.
The name is a play on words, making it sound like a frustrated exclamation, which fits the chaotic nature of the game.
