Quoted: I've been in a semi-weekly dealer's choice poker game for about 10 years. This eventually devolves into the same guys calling the same games every week.
I want to bring some new games. What are your favorites? Wild-card games are fine. We are not purists and certainly ain't Texas-Hold-'Em come latelies!!
Thanks!

So yeah, I'm on the Texas Hold'em bandwagon like everyone else.
But here is one of my favorite dealer choice games called Seymore (see - more).
Goal: Make your best hand with five cards; sometiems we play hi-lo split which is fun in this game.
Constraints: you must use two and only two cards from your pocket, 1 card from the row of cards closest to the dealer, and two cards from the second row or the third row from dealer but these last two rows must come from the same row.
1. Each player gets four cards.
2. Fifteen cards are laid in a 3 X 5 matrix
4. Two of the five columns are revealed.
5. 1st betting round based on cards in pocket.
6. 3rd column revealed
7. betting round
8. 4th column revealed
9. betting round
10. 5th column revealed
11. round of betting
12. Declaration of hi or lo (or both) by all simultaneously revealing 1, 2, or 3 chips in their hands
13. Betting round.
14. Show down, choose your two cards from the pocker and state your best hand.
i know it sounds complicated, but its a lot of fun. I recommend structured betting with max number of raises.
