Telephone poker
A form of poker found only in home games, a widow game in
which each player receives five cards face down, as does a central
area of the table, followed by a round of betting, and then
the dealer turns up each central card, one at a time, each followed
by another round of betting. At the showdown, each player uses
the best five cards among his five and those of the widow, and
the lowest card in the player's hand is wild. The game is similar
to Cincinnati, the difference being that in the latter the lowest
card in the widow is wild, as well as any card of equal rank
in a player's hand.
