Scoobie Whooo takes a poo in a dusty Bin in Utah with Charlie

Take a deep breath, this is a Navy Seals / tier one dealers choice game. Unless you have mastered some "combination games" don't try this. This is a multilayered game built up of several games and taken many pints of beer and bottles of red wine to develop. Every player is dealt 5 cards. Play two from your hand plus 3 from the table. First of all Who is Scoobie Doo? well he is a cartoon dog who solves mysteries. Any Scoobie game has the 3rd card of the flop face down. This card is only revealed after all play has stopped. It is the Mystery card. It can be used like any other card to make a hand but obviously it isn't known until all betting has finished. Whoo is self explanatory, If I have to explain that you have already drowned. (One heart is wild in your hand OR on the board) Takes a poo? Every player throws away one card after the flop ie before the flop you each have 5 cards in your hand, after the flop you only have 4. You should have already "played with...

Bus Crash

An easy game (if you can play poker already) that lots of people hate! This is a derivative of a game thought up on the spur-of-the-moment late one Thursday night (up West) by my God son. He just happens to drive a bus, hence my name for it. MAIN RULES Deal 3 cards to each player face down.  Usual flop, turn, river (3,1,1) However each player must use all 3 cards in their hand and ALL spades are wild. This game can give some unusual results and can be good for bluffer's. However it does seem to upset people, so be aware.

Blood River

A very simple addition / alteration to any game with community cards. To be fair this isn't a Shed or even West End invention. Basic rules are play (say Omaha) as usual. Standard flop (3 cards), standard turn (1 card), standard river with round of betting. BUT if the river card is red (heart ♥️or diamond♦️) there is another river card with a round of betting. IF this card is red, there is a 3rd river card and betting. This continues until a black (♠️♣️ ) card is dealt, at which point there is a last round of betting. Now as always men with sheds have developed this further. For example Utah and Dr Whooo can both easily have a blood river, as can Matty and Matty turbo. You get the gist I'm sure. I will leave it at that as it is Christmas and I don't want to overtax you with "bus crash", "LGBT", "menopause" etc.

Are there poker thoroughbred games?

A ll modern Thoroughbreds race hoses trace back to three stallions imported into England from the Middle East in the late 17th and early 18th centuries: the Byerley Turk (1680s), the Darley Arabian (1704), and the Godolphin Arabian (1729).   As we have discussed, to make a good and playable new dealers choice game, it needs a known base game with probably just one change.   Now the majority of poker games are based on 3 styles of games:   Hold'em esq (community card games) . Dealt "hole" cards to players with community cards in the centre. Texas hold'em being the most obvious example. These games have proved very good raw material in which to take into the shed and modify.   Another "style" of poker is "Draw" poker . Which basically has NO community cards and each player makes the best hand from what is in front of them. Five card draw is one of the most common types of poker. Each player is dealt five cards, then a round of betting follows....
