Topic: Cards speak


  
  Erik Zane's House Rules for Poker
If seven card stud is played with more than seven players and the progress of the hand is such that there are not enough cards to deal everyone the final card, a single community card will be dealt face up in the center of the table and used in everyone's hand.
No wild cards may be called except by unanimous agreement of all players with the exception that 5-card draw may be played with "the bug" (with Jokers that are wild only for aces, flushes and straights) without requiring the afformentioned agreement.
If you throw your cards, up or down, in such a way that they touch another players hand and it is not 100% certain to everyone which cards belong in which hand, both hands are dead (and the other player may wish you were too).

 Cards speak
In the game of poker, the term cards speak ("for themselves") is used in two contexts: first, it is used to describe a High-low split game without a Declaration.
That is, in a cards speak game, players all reveal their hands at the showdown, and whoever has the highest hand wins the high half of the pot and whoever has the lowest hand wins the low half.
The other context is as a house rule in many casinos: on any showdown, the players need not announce the value of their hand, but merely show it.

 Gambling Guide > Casino Games > Poker > Rules > Terminology > Wild Cards
A card that is fully wild can be designated by its holder as any card he chooses with no restrictions.
The common rule in casinos is that a wild card plays as a Bug, which is given the rank of ace unless designating it as a different card would complete a Straight, Flush, or Straight flush.
While it is certainly true that a game with too many wild cards can become so random that all skill is lost, the occasional use of wild cards is a good way to add variation to a game and add opportunities for skillful play.

Each time a table card is flipped, if it is the lowest showing table card it (and all cards of the same rank) become wild, replacing the previous wild cards.
The last card is flipped, a final round if betting ensues, and finally a showdown in which players make their best hands using their 2 and the table's 5.
