Variations on the game is to allow wild cards and a five of a kind. This is personally my favorite kind of poker. Stud -another variation on poker. The intial deal can vary in this game and depends on how your group wants to play. Once again it is played exactly like 7-card stud with betting rounds held when each new card is put down.
Variations can be the use of wild cards and the rank of hands are the standard one in poker.
This game is exactly like 7-card stud except that the high spade in the hole splits the spot. The ranking of the hands are standard poker with the best five cards being used. Wild cards and five of a kind is the variations. I'm not thrilled about this variation because you can have a great hand and still have to split the pot with a goof that got lucky to get the ace of spades. Indian Poker -Shouldn't even be called a variation on poker but it is.
