*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 />
