Opening comment[edit]

Note: Many of the poker pages were originally placed in the public domain, so their presence on other web sites, etc. does not necessarily indicate a copyright violation. See Talk:List_of_miscellaneous_poker_variants for discussion.

Prohibition against original research[edit]

Wikipedia has a policy against original research: Wikipedia:No original research. Basically, don't make stuff up. Any new variants you add must have verifiable references. Without a verifiable reference (e.g., link to a specific web page, book/pg nbr), another editor will come along and revert the entry as "unreferenced or original research". Please don't add games made up by your friends - the article should only include well known games that are widely played.--Toms2866 18:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

East Village in home games section[edit]

I'm just curious... i see that somebody deleted this from the home games section because "inventor claims it was invented in his sleep" or something like that. while that does sound a bit lame, i don't see how that proves that it's somehow not real or authentic? if Edison had the idea for the lightbulb while taking a dump, would you throw out that invention because of it's un-special origination? bad example. but... i'm actually just asking. am super curious. i don't edit wikipedia very often, but... i do know i've played East Village in Seattle, Chicago, and NYC, including at a cardroom in Brooklyn. So i'm just curious about how a game (or anything, for that matter) makes the transition from being "made up by your friends" to "well known... and widely played."

Older discussion[edit]

Zepter, if you have any other purpose than serving as an alias/personal ally for User:Mike Church, you may be interested to note there is a very clear Wikipedia:No original research policy which these personal "variants" are; there is no significant establishment, these are the only places that these rules are posted, etc.. If you would like to take issue, lets resolve this in Wikipedia:Peer review. Thanks.PilotPrecise (a troll) 22:25, 11 March 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, marking a major revert as a minor edit is an egregious use of the minor edit and can be seen as a sign of vandalism. PilotPrecise (a troll) 22:29, 11 March 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Zepter - You are free to sabatoge my edits (by relabeling my user tag with "a Troll") as you see fit. I hope you are able to get a laugh out of it, imagining that I would care. PilotPrecise 06:55, 12 March 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Pineapple[edit]

The article states that pineapple is generally played as a split game, but I'm not sure that's true. However, I don't have enough experience with it to say anything conclusive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.174.102 (talk • contribs)

I agree, I've never seen this game played hi-lo split. Not that it couldn't be, but I think it's played high-only more often than not. I wouldn't mind seeing an expanded section on Pineapple and Crazy Pineapple, but I'm not sure where to begin. Aic_aks (talk) 05:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)aic_aks[reply]

I've almost never seen it played high only. The game was played for years in Tahoe before catching on anywhere else, and is now played in LA more than anywhere, and that's all hi lo. 2005 (talk) 07:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've only played it high-low split, but the game I have played is usually described as "Crazy Pineapple", so I presume that there was at some point in history a "sane" version that was probably high-only. --LDC (talk) 18:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
