While this blog has been largely dedicated to "real" poker thus far, I think every single reader also plays in wild, dealer's choice home games. I was hoping you could each reply via the comments link below as to your favorite game to call and why. You may submit multiple answers.

My favorite: probably 7-stud, roll your own, low card in the hole is wild

Why: multiple reasons, but for starters, I still get a laugh out of the guy that thinks his 4 sixes are worth a crap. Word to the unwise, without a straight flush or 5 of a kind, you have no chance of winning. Other reason is that I still laugh at the ineptitude of others in deciding which card to roll….probably 1 out of every 3 times I deal it, somebody bangs themselves on the head, realising that they could have won if they simply rolled the right card.....for some reason, people tend to make the lowest card in the their hand the lowest card in the hole instead of making sure that the card they have the most of is the lowest in the hole - big difference.

Also on the list is 357, low Chicago, and Anaconda. All three have very very simple strategy and in the last 2, you should generally fold very early with anything short of a monster; yet, nobody does.

Give me your fav's...
