2003feb08. I’m trying to find the name of a particular non-standard poker game. We for some reason call it “Acey-Deucey,” but it is not (the book we got the game out of indicated it was popular with the Army back in WW2 – but that was a backgammon variant ... way to research that). This game is one card up, one card down to each person. First round allows you to replace an up card or a down card for five cents. Second round, ten cents. Etc, up to a dollar for a card. Then there’s one round of betting (for some reason I have a sneaking suspicion that every buying round should be followed by a betting round, so it actually hurts the people who want to stay in with bad cards). High hand takes it – A A is the best hand.
