Really enjoying your channel. Been studying the history of card and dice games the past few years and your videos are a wonderful resource. Thanks!

Hey thanks I really appreciate this! Feel free to share anything you discover right here, I’m always learning too.

@@Play-In-Games WIll do. Also, fun poker variant to check out is Mexican Stud. It's popular in casinos in the Los Angeles area. Five card stud with a stripped deck...pull out the 8, 9, and 10's (like a Spanish or Italian deck) but add in 1 joker. 41 card deck. You're dealt the first card down and second up. After that, you determine whether you want your next card dealt up or down by flipping up your hole card (or not). So if you leave things as is, your 3rd 4th and 5th cards are dealt up like in regular 5 card stud...but anytime you flip your hole card up, your next card is dealt face down.
Oh yeah...the joker. If it's dealt face down, it wild. But if it's dealt face up, it's an ace )R can be used to complete a flush or straight, nothing else.
Plus it's fine to watch people wrap their minds around 6-7-J-Q-K being a straight.
Unique variant and very fun.

Man, I really enjoy your videos and presentation. I am always keen to try out new variations as well. I recently acquired a German/Hungarian 36 card deck, I was wondering if you had any experience with it! I don't know how go use them! 😅

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. I hope to cover Skat at some point, we’ll see if I can finally get around to it!

2 other styles are badugi and low ball poker (either 2-7 or A-5)

What about buy poker? Closer to being a poker variant than badugi, since the latter has it's own ranking style
