Anaconda Poker
Anaconda is one of my favorite poker games to play at Christmas-time with my in-laws. It's a variation of seven card stud, and it's a heckuva lot of fun. Anaconda has basically the same rules as seven card stud poker, but with the following variations:
All cards are dealt face down before there is any betting.
Everyone bets.
Then everyone passes three cards to the player on his or her left.
Everyone bets again.
Then everyone passes two cards to the player on his or her left.
Everyone bets again.
Then everyone passes one card to the player on his or left.
Then there's a final round of betting.
Anaconda is also called "Pass the Trash".
As far as a legitimate strategy goes for Anaconda, I don't really know of one right offhand. It's definitely a kitchen table game.
