High Chicago ( poker )


This games plays the same as Seven Card Stud with the exception that the highest spade in the hole gets half the pot. This adds some interesting variation to the game, because if you are dealt the ace of spades in your first two down cards then you have guarenteed half the pot. Even if you start betting and raising like a maniac, chances are people won't fold because they will hope to get the other half of the pot. You might want to hold on until fourth street before you start betting heavily so that it isn't totally obvious that you have the ace.
