 ====== Our crazy poker games ======
-TODO flesh this out
+Note: standard deal sequence in 7 card stud is: 2 down, 1 up, 2 down, 1 up, 1 up.
-"draw tax" = in 5 card draw, on the draw, you must pay a nickel for each card past the first
+Note: "Draw tax" for us means, in 5 card draw, that on the draw you must pay a nickel for each card past the first.
-"bizarro" = lowest hand wins (but wilds automatically form the best poker hand) -- best with large numbers of wilds and a limited ability to replace/swap cards
+**Phone Home**:
+  * 5 card draw.
+  * Deal, bet, //phone home//, bet, //phone home//, bet, //phone home//, bet, show.
+  * //Phone home:// each player as the option to buy a card for a quarter.
+  * At **ANY** time (even DURING the showdown), a player may make a //collect call//, thus buying another card for 50 cents.  This may be done twice per player.
+  * Cards acquired via "phone home" or "collect call" are simply added to the hand; no discard is needed to accept them.

+**Plus Node**:
+  * 5 card draw.
+  * After deal, place four cards face down in the shape of a plus (+) and four in a line in the shape of a minus (-).
+  * Bet phase after initial hands are dealt, then draw phase, then bet, then "node phase", then bet, then show.
+  * Node phase: each player in turn flips a card in either the "plus node" or the "minus node".  If the player turns over a card on the plus, any player with the revealed card in hand shows that card, and gains a random card to add to their hand. If the player turns over a card on the minus node, all players must show & discard the revealed card and are dealt a replacement.
-phone home
+**Crazy Limbo**: 5 card draw.  Deal, bet, draw, bet, then everyone shows their lowest card, which is wild for all, then final bet, and show.

-  * after the bet after the draw phase, there are up to three "phone home" phases in which each player as the option to buy a card for a quarter; there's betting after each of these rounds

+**Midnight baseball**: Deal 7 cards, //don't look at your cards!//  Each player in turn reveals cards until they have the winning hand, then they bet.  3s and 9s are wild (like in baseball), and a black 6 //kills your immediately//.  When you turn up a 4, you have the option to buy a card for a quarter.

+**Deuces, jacks, man with the axe, and a pair of natural sevens takes all**: 7 card stud.  Like it says, the stated cards (2s, jacks, and the king of diamonds, who holds an axe) are wild, and a player holding two natural 7s wins automatically. (If two players have natural 7s, they split the pot.)
