Manila Poker

Manila is a poker game played with a reduced deck with only 32 cards. The 7's through aces are kept in the deck, but the 2's through 6's are not used. One player each round has to place a blind. Community cards are dealt 1 at a time until there are 5 cards in the center of the table, and there is a betting round after each card is dealt. The highest ranked hand using 2 cards from the player's and 3 cards from the community cards wins the pot.

3 card Manila is also spread, and plays exactly like Manila, only 3 cards are dealt to each player instead of just 2. The player still only uses 2 hole cards to make his hand in combination with 3 of the community cards.
