Mexican Stud Poker

These are various forms of roll your own five-card stud poker, often with a stripped deck and wild cards, and go by the names Mexican Stud Poker, Mexican Poker, or Stud Loco.  For example, one such common game variant has these rules - 8s, 9s, and 10s are stripped from the deck, and a single joker is added (the deck therefore contains 41 cards).  The 7-spot and the J become consecutive, so that 5-6-7-J-Q is a straight.  A flush beats a full house (flushes are harder to get with fewer cards of each suit).

The joker often plays as a bug.  The poker game is played as five-card stud poker choose-before roll your own.  It is usually played with a very high ante, and the high card on the first round pays the bring-in.

The game of Shifting Sands Poker is Mexican Stud Poker in which each poker player's hole card (and all others of that rank) are wild for that player only.
