Casino Game and Poker Rules Variants - Little Squeeze Everyone is dealt one card down and one card up. At any time during the deal the dealer will deal a common card in the middle and can turn that card at any time. The dealer will then deal the next three card up to each player like five stud. The next option would be replacing a card in your hand. Thid card needs to be paid for usually the amount of the final bet. This is
a seven card game. each player can get six cards with the common card
seven. It's a high low game. I'm not sure this is the proper name for the game; I think many people call it different names. Mexican Stud is another popular name I believe. Basically, each player's lowest hole card is wild. Thus, if someone had 368 hole cards and 3999 showing, both 3's are wild. That person would have five of a kind 9's as his hand. Some players play according to standard 7 card stud rules. However, others will add a little twist to the game by dealing all players 3 cards face down at first. The players all choose a card to flip up at the same time. Play then proceeds in normal 7 card stud/Hi-Lo Cherry'O fashion. However, for the seventh card, players can choose whether or not the card is dealt face up or face down. The reason players may want the card dealt face up is in case they want to keep their wild card and the wild card is fairly high. For example, if you hold 99 in the hole and 9AA4 on the board, you certainly want to keep your 9's wild. As of right now, you have the best hand possible- 5 aces. However, if you are dealt a deuce down, then your hand would change to four 9's (now the deuce would be wild, not the 9). Thus, you would opt to have your final card dealt face up, so your 9's are kept wild for sure. |

Not How You Start, But How You Finish by Jim Feist So…are we all
set for a Colts/Bengals AFC Championship game? The winner would then meet
the NFC Champion Redskins or Buccaneers, because after four weeks, those
were the only four undefeated teams in pro football. Certainly the hot
start of the Colts was not a surprise, as they’ve made three trips
to the playoffs, but the Redskins, Bucs and Bengals have surprised. However,
let’s not forget that one year ago, there were only four 3-0 teams
to start the season, with the Seahawks and Jaguars in that mix. Neither
made the playoffs. Back in August the Redskins were 35-to-1 to win the
Super Bowl, while the Bengals were 40-to-1. So, anyone with future’s
tickets had better take a deep breath and be patient before thinking about
cashing those long shots. If your favorite team is off to a disappointing
start, relax, and if your team is off to a hot start, don’t start
making preparations for the Super Bowl, or even playoffs just yet. A lot
was made of the Carolina Panthers remarkable journey two years ago. The
Panthers were 4-0 in preseason, then got off to a 3-0 start and seemingly
used that momentum all the way to the Super Bowl. Sure, hot starts can
help a team, but remember that in 2002 those same Panthers started 3-0
and finished up 7-9. Naturally, a team doesn’t want to start 0-3
like this year’s Packers and Texans. You may recall that last season
the Rams started 1-2, then made the postseason, and even won a playoff
game. In 2001, the Patriots started 0-2 and 1-3, yet wound up winning
the Super Bowl. A poor start makes it tougher to get back into an NFL
season that is only 16 games long where few teams even qualify for the
postseason. On the other hand, a hot start is not mandatory, either. In
2003, the Eagles looked terrible during an 0-2 SU/ATS start just before
their bye week. That team then went 11-3 against the spread the rest of
the regular season, winning 13 of their next 15 games on the way to the
NFC Championship game. The Patriots started 2-2 in 2003, then proceeded
to go 15-0 SU, 12-3 ATS on the way to winning another Super Bowl. Last
year, the Patriots and Steelers had incredible seasons, combining two
lose only four games, two against each other! They wound up in the AFC
Title game, while the eventual NFC Champion Eagles got off to a terrific
5-0 SU/ATS start. However, the red-hot start doesn’t always predict
a hot finish. If you think a good start is essential, let’s not
forget the 2003 Minnesota Vikings. The boys in purple started 6-0 SU/ATS,
only to fold in apocalyptic fashion, missing the playoffs during a 3-7
SU, 2-8 ATS finish. Miami also started 4-1 SU/ATS in 2003, only to go
3-8 against the spread and miss the playoffs again. There’s an old
saying in racing, “It’s not the fastest horse out of the gate,
but who crosses the finish line first.” It’s a marathon and
all kinds of things can crop up to derail a potential playoff run: Poor
defense, injuries, bad luck, even scheduling. In 2003, the Dolphins had
to play five of seven games against eventual playoff teams. They lost
four of them. The Chiefs were the hottest team in the NFL the first half
of the 2003 season, starting 9-0 SU and 8-1 against the number. There
even was a future’s bet offered on whether the Chiefs would run
the regular season table and go undefeated. That wager didn’t last
long, however, as Kansas City finished 4-4 straight up and 2-6 against
the spread after that 9-0 start. Poor defense was the culprit. Balance
and depth are to important elements of playoff teams. An ideal team is
well rounded, with a quality passing and running game, consistent special
teams, low turnovers and a defense that can stop or contain the run. Coaches
study game films to find fatal flaws in the opposition, weaknesses that
can be exploited on game day. The 2003 Giants started 2-1 straight up
and against the spread. That was all that was worth recalling in a forgettable
season. The Giants limped to a 2-11 SU finish while going 1-11-1 against
the number. Last year, Seattle started 3-0 SU/ATS with a defense that
allowed 13 total points! No one remembers that start, however, as the
Seahawks went 6-8 SU, 2-12 ATS the rest of the season. In 2001, the Patriots
weathered a 1-3 SU/ATS start filled with a serious injury to All-Pro QB
Drew Bledsoe and the suspension of WR Terry Glenn. New players stepped
in and the team slowly began to grasp the intricate defensive systems
Bill Belichick and coordinator Romeo Crennel were teaching. The Patriots
ended the season 9-0 SU/7-1-1 ATS and upset the Rams in the Super Bowl
as a +14 dog. It’s not the fastest horse out of the gate, but the
one who crosses the finish line. |
