Jeff called a game with elements of Anaconda and Pass the Trash.
After an ante, each player is dealt seven cards down. He looks at his cards, and then passes three of his cards to the player on his left. He discards two of his cards, leaving him with five.
Each player flips over a card of his choosing. A betting round starts with the player showing the highest card.
Each player flips over another card of his choosing. (It can be any one of the four cards he has down. In other words, he doesn’t have to flip the cards in the order in which he originally arranged them.) There is another betting round starting with the player showing the best hand.
This continues until four cards are revealed and there is a final betting round. The pot is split between the best high hand and the best low hand. (There is no declaring high or low, and there are no qualification requirements for the low hand.)
We played it $3-$6 ($3 on the first two betting rounds, $6 on the last two), and it proved to be a popular game. Jerry, having lost quite a bit, suggested we call the game Jerry’s Ball Sack.
