Here is a poker variation called "Choose Your Own" that would make an interesting addition to any regular games you enjoy. Much about this variation is reminiscent of 7-Card Stud so it might be an easy transition and an appropriate change of pace if you play 7-Card Stud on a regular basis. This game accommodates anywhere from three to seven players. Play begins with every player contributing to the ante. The first deal follows the ante and each player gets two face-down cards and one face-up card.
