The standard 52-card pack is stripped of all cards below 7 to make a deck of 32 cards (7,8,9,10, J,Q,K,A) Object of the Game. The goal of each player is to win the pot, which contains all the bets that the players have made in any one deal. Manila or Seven Up Poker is a variant on Texas Hold ‘Em. This is a popular variant in Australian Casinos and is unique because of its stripped deck. Manila is played with a standard 52 card deck with all cards below 7s removed for a total of 32 cards.
Texas Holdem Maine
Manila is played with a stripped deck in which all cards below the rank of 7 are removed leaving just 32 cards. Each player is dealt two hole cards. The five community cards are dealt one at a time and each is followed by a round of betting.
At the showdown, unlike Texas Hold'em and more like Omaha, each player makes their best poker hand from both of their hole cards and exactly three of the five community cards.
Because of the stripped deck, a flush beats a full house. Also, an ace may not be played low for a straight (that is, the hand A-7-8-9-10 is not counted as a straight).
Variations
Common variations involve dealing three cards to each poker player, one of which can either be discarded at some point (like Pineapple Poker), or else held to the end, but maintaining the requirement that each player uses exactly two of their own cards with exactly three of the community cards. Three-card variants are sometimes played with 6s restored to the deck, making it 36 cards.
