Poker Games from the Shed

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.

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....
