Mexican Sweat - Also called No Peak
PLAYERS: 3-7
INITIAL DEAL: seven cards face down to each player and one up card on the table.
PLAY: Do not look at your cards! The player to the dealer's left is the lead player. The lead player starts rolling cards until his revealed hand beats the highest revealed hand on the table (initially, the single up card). As soon as his revealed hand becomes the best hand, he stops rolling cards and begins a round of betting. If he rolls all his cards and does not beat what is on the table, he is out and a betting round begins with the high hand. Either way, the next player becomes the new lead player and the process repeats, with a round of betting whenever someone stops rolling cards. If at any time the lead player rolls a card of the same rank as the card dealt up from the deck at the initial deal, he must immediately fold and a betting round begins with the high hand. The game continues until all the cards have been turned up or there is only one person left in the game.
WINNER: High hand
STANDARD VARIATIONS:
If a player rolls all his cards without beating the high hand, there is no betting round-- the next player begins rolling immediately.
If a player folds because he matches the initial up card, there is no betting round.
Deal three cards up initially, a beat card, a wild card, and a killer card (kills only players who turn the remaining three cards).
