[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6889534, member: 92305"] [center][size=200][b]MUD PUDDLE[/b][/size][b] In A NUTSHELL[/b][/center] 1. Only two players play. The tiles are placed face down between the two gamblers and are washed. That is, the tiles are mixed up randomly by the dealer. The center between the two gamblers is called the pool. An ante bet, called the "Post", is paid to the pool by both gamblers so that they have some stake in the game before the tiles are dealt. Tiles are referred to as "Tiles" or "Logs." 2. The player selects one tile from the pool. Then the dealer selects a tile. The player then selects a second tile to complete his beginning hand. And, the dealer draws last a tile to make his hand. The gamblers keep the value of these tiles secret. 3. The first betting round is made, starting with the player. Each gambler can pass, bet, fold, or raise a bet given him. Folding is referred to as "Drowning your hand." 4. The player selects a tile from the pool and places it face up in front of him. The dealer does the same. Gamblers can estimate each other's hands by looking at the open tiles and studying their opponent's play. Logs have two values, one at each end, and a gambler doesn't have to declare which value on each tile he will use until the end of the game. 5. The second betting round is made, and it is completed just as described above in step 3. 6. Each gambler selects a second open log and places it in front of him. This is done exactly as described in step 4. 7. The final betting round is made, and it is completed exactly as described in step 3. 8. Here, at the end of the game, the dealer must reveal his secret logs to his opponent. The player, at that point, can either fold his hand or reveal his secret logs. A total of a hand is made by a gambler choosing one value from each of his four logs, adding them together, creating a total. Logs sometimes have negative values as well as positive values. The winner of the hand takes the bets that have been paid to the pool, and the winning hand is made from the highest value shown except in one instance. The ultimate hand in Mud Puddle is a hand that totals exactly zero. A hand totaling zero is called a "Puddle" (Called a "Lake" or an "Ocean" in some parts of the world). Make a puddle, and you win the game. 9. In the case of a tie, the money that has been paid to the puddle stays in the puddle, and a new hand is dealt without posting an ante bet. This procedure is repeated until one of the two gamblers wins the hand. [/QUOTE]
