PokerStars - Two POTS or WIN.

Any form of PokerStars may be played, but the pot accumulates until any player has won the pot a second time, whereupon he takes the pot.

TWO-CARD POKER, or HURRICANE

Each player receives only two cards, dealt one at a time, face down. There is a betting interval, and the high hand in the showdown wins the pot. Usually all players ante before the deal. Straights and flushes do not count in the showdown; a pair of aces is the highest possible hand

ThREE-CARD MONTE

One card is dealt face down for each player, with a betting interval; then one card face up to each player, with a betting interval; then another card face up to each player, which ends the deal. There is a final betting interval and a showdown. The highest possible hand is a straight flush (three cards in sequence in the same suit); then three of a kind, then a flush (all three cards of the same suit), then a straight (any three cards in sequence), then a pair, and then the dealer's high card.

BASEBALL.

Either five-card or seven-card Stud PokerStars is played, with the following special rules: All nines are wild. Any three in the hole is wild. If a player is dealt a three face-up, he must either buy the pot, which means that he puts into the pot as many chips as are already there, in which case his exposed three and all other threes are wild; or he must drop out of the pot. If he does buy the pot, no other player need match that amount to Stay in. A player who is dealt a four face-up is immediately dealt another face-up card in addition to the four. However many cards a player may have at the end, he must select five of them to be his hand in the showdown.
