*Guts (Poker)<br />

�� Players:<br />

o 4-10<br />

�� Initial deal:<br />

o Two or three cards face down to each player and the same amount into the “Pot” hand.<br />

�� Play:<br />

o Each player determines whether or not they are holding (playing) their hand. Players who hold<br />

reveal their hands. <strong>The</strong> winner takes the pot and the losers have to match the pot. If only one<br />

player stays in then they must play the “Pot” hand. If they lose they must pay the pot and it<br />

doubles. If they win then they take all the money in the pot and the deal moves to the next<br />

player. If the pot is not taken then new hands are then dealt.<br />

o In three card Guts a players lowest card is wild, giving everybody at least one pair.<br />

o If two players tie they must both pay the pot<br />

o If a player ties the pot hand they must pay double the pot amount<br />

�� Winner:<br />

o High hand. Straights and flushes do not count.<br />

�� Standard variations:<br />

o Weenie rule: If nobody stays in, everyone reveals their hand and whoever has the best hand<br />

(and thus would have won) must match the pot.<br />

o Drop: Instead of declaring with chips, dealer counts out "one-two-three-drop" while all players<br />

hold their cards above the table. On "drop" all players who are dropping out drop their cards.<br />

This is faster, but can lead to arguments if one player is slower to drop than the others.<br />

o Progressive Guts:<br />

��Start with 2 cards. Any players that stay in pass their cards to each other (making sure<br />

that nobody else sees them) to determine the winner. <strong>The</strong> winner takes the pot and the<br />

loser(s) pay the pot and cards are returned to their original owners. If only one player<br />

stays in and loses to the pot hand, then the pot cards are replaced. If only one player<br />

stays in and wins the pot, then the round is over.<br />

��<strong>The</strong>n another card is dealt and the players again say whether they are in or out and<br />

again exchange cards to determine the winner. Play repeats in the same way. If nobody<br />

stays in, everyone gets dealt another card. Repeat until all players have 5 cards.<br />

��Straights and flushes become legal at 5 cards.<br />
