We have some players that call for five card omaha h/l on their deal if there aren't too many players. Five card is nothing new but a year or two ago we started having a couple of guys playing "five card reverse" (you have to play 3 out of your hand with 2 on the board instead of 2 hand and 3 board). Is this a common game or some junk thats not played anywhere? I don't really like it, but play whats dealt. One guy will even call reverse four card, but that builds so little of a pot not popular with other players.

And what do you move your starting hands to on reverse 5 card? Of course A23, but do you go to A24, A34, etc and what about high, what would you want to be your mimium starting?

In our home game someone occasionally will deal a game called fiftyfour which is five down 4 on the board and you have to use 3 in your hand with 2 on the board. In this game I try to start with 3 to a flush or 3 connected or trips in the hole. In the HL version of the game I would say A23 A24 A34 and suited would be optimal
