From a reader:
โฆthought you might like this (mentioned in a thread discussing whether
Wikipedia should be an acceptable source in the college classroom):
โMeanwhile, we invented a new poker game last night called โ you guessed
โ Wikipedia. Each player is dealt three cards, with five common cards on
the table, meaning each player has eight cards with which to make his
best 5-card poker hand. After a round of betting, each player is given
to the opportunity to โoverwriteโ one common card with one of his hole
cards, and take a replacement hole card from the deck. The โoverwriteโ
costs 10c (for bandwidth). Another betting round ensues, followed by a
second โoverwriteโ round with the cost raised to 20c (next round 30c,
etc.). Once a player passes on the chance to overwrite, he cannot elect
to do so in a later round. Betting and overwriting continues until all
players pass their chance to overwrite. After one last round of betting,
players reveal their hands.โ
