I would be interested in hearing about any (normal or bizarre) high/low
poker variation.  A group of us play casual poker once every two or
three weeks, and some of us are beginning to tire from playing the same
games over and over.  High/low games we already play include:
	o  7 card stud (2 down, 4 up, 1 down)
	o  7-27 (closest to 7, closest to 27, JQK = 1/2 point each)
	o  Annaconda (deal 7, pass between 1-3 to opponents, and then
	   peel either 5 or 6 cards)
	o  Fiery Cross (and local variation Fiery Bingo)
	o  Under 10
	o  Itzy Bitzy
	o  Chicago (not really high/low, but still a two-winner game).

I would prefer people to mail me their variations.  If there is sufficient
interest, I'll post a summary or mail to the interested individuals the
results of this query.  Thanks in advance.
