One of my favorite games is challenge, where there are three rounds of dealing and betting after an initial ante. Even though the betting is a little different. Basically, you get 3 cards in the first round and try to make the best 2 card poker hand, i.e. two aces is the best. Then, if you think you have a good hand, you 'go out' and challenge anyone else to go against you. If no one else does, you get a 'leg'. If someone does challenge you, you compare cards and keep a mental note of who wins (the loser must match the pot and pay it to the winner). Then, you get two more cards and try to get the best low ball three card hand, i.e. Ace, 2, 3 is the best. And then you do the identical thing as to the first round. Finally, you finish with getting two more cards (7 total) and try for the best poker hand, and bet the same as the first two rounds. Whoever gets three 'legs' wins the pot. I know it's confusing so please look up somewhere on the web who can explain it better than I.

Another game is 'Black Mariah.' In that game you get two cards face down, and one face up. Then betting commences. The pot is split between whoever has the highest spade in the hole, and whoever has the best five card poker hand, or both. You get 7 cards, with the first two down, one up, bet, another one up, bet, another one up, bet, another one up, bet, and the final card is down, and then bet a final time.
