F'd up Poker games

So I play poker occasionally with a group of guys from the church, where the game is dealer's choice and we just make up weird games with names relevant to history or current events.

For example, we've played "JFK" which is 7-card stud and if you're dealt a bullet (A) up your hand is dead.

Or "San Francisco" where Queens are wild and straights don't count

We have poker tomorrow. I already have a game called "Basket of Deplorables" which is 5-card draw, with three draws of one card each, betting after each card. The discarded cards go face up in the middle (the basket of deplorables) and at the end everyone will have an opportunity (at the same time) to grab whatever final card they want out of the middle.

Curious if anyone has any ideas about other games based on the current political situation.

Get a deck of nude women playing cards. All cards that only have one breast showing are wild.
Lol. That is funny stuff. I like it. We also play made up games but haven't named or themed them. We just play dealers choice. Thanks for the idea.

I'll have to think of ideas when I get a chance.
Some of the guys literally make them up on the spot.

We have a great one called "Wall Street" where it's a 7 card stud game, but there are 4 cards in the center that you can buy one of in lieu of a draw off the deck. As the cards are bought, they are replaced. Those always end up being our biggest pots of the night. Hi-lo game as well

Crooked Hillary Poker. 7 Card Stud. Each up card represents an e-mail. After the last betting round an additional eighth card (The Bleach Bit) is dealt face up to each player. The High Card among these is called 'The Hillary' and the owner of The Hillary is called 'The Banker'. The Banker can then rearrange any remaining hands by deleting any E-mail and replacing it with the same player's Bleach Bit. There is one additional Betting Round before the showdown.

Trump Poker. 7 Card Stud. Jacks and Kings are 'Grope Cards'. Any player who receives a face up Grope Card and a Queen (either up or face down) is automatically disqualified at the final showdown. This is called a 'Witnessed Grope'. Hidden Grope Cards with a Queen is an automatic win. This is called a 'Secret Grope'. If all players have a Witnessed Grope at the showdown, the pot stays for the next hand. If multiple players score 'Hidden Gropes', the highest Hidden Groper Hand is the winner. If there are no Gropes, it's just high hand winner.
Trump poker. If you lose, refuse to let the winner take the pot.
Lmao. This is the best "Vegas related" political post ever! I can't even come up with any because I am not at the card table. Lol. But yes. My brother is the worst for just making up a random card game with the most outlandish rules just for fun. It is not uncommon daily to have 4-8 people at the card table and on holidays to have tables up to 16. We play a lot of in between or high/low whatever you call it. Or a lot of screw your neighbor. Among dozens of other games and made up stuff. If my deal. I almost always want to play in between. What do you ante and what has been your highest pot.


Alan has the idea. :-)

Those might be a little complex after a few drinks, but you're on the right track. lol
Actually that's good. I'll suggest a game, and if I don't win we'll play it again

Kings & Little Men (not political)

This is a pot game. 5 cards dealt and you decide if you are in or not. The option is given to the person next to the dealer and goes around the table. If you are out, you can still be in the next hand. If you are in, you must match the pot if someone beats you (it could be multiple people in). If only one person is in, they must beat the top 5 cards on the deck.

Kings are wild and the low card in your hand (and all like it) are wild. You can draw up to 2 cards - which can screw up your low card. A good hand would be a King and two threes, you are guaranteed 4 of a kind, unless you get a deuce on the draw.

The game gets real crazy and potentially expensive.
