Poker

Occasionally I play poker with a couple of different groups of players. Mainly, I play with my Fraternity brothers. As with most neighborhood poker games — friendly games — these are low-stakes games. We play with an $11.25 buy-in just so that people take the betting more seriously. Of course, since most of the time excitement does not come from winning a pot with only a couple of bucks in it, we do play some rather strange games. Listed below are some of the games we play, with the rules.
