2 Card Manila

With No Limit Hold'em dominating the game formats these days, it's nice to have some variation early in the schedule. Once a common sight in card rooms across the country, Manila is making a comeback of sorts. Manila is similar to Hold 'Em except that all cards below 7 are removed from the deck and a round of betting is held on five streets rather than three. With less cards in the deck, it usually takes a bigger hand to take down each pot - with flushes ranked higher than full houses.
