>russian poker

is that where you play with a loaded deck, but you don't know which cards are loaded till you deal them?

I've played it in Prague and have heard it can be found in Eastern Europe. It was an allowed game in the UK but I've never seen it here ( http://www.ukcasinotablegames.info/pokerlunar.html ). I can see there might be an advantage knowing many of the cards, especially if that meant you had more info on the likely dealer's hand and knew when to fold or play blind - or given the choices you have in the game, have a better edge.

I always thought Russian Poker was a variant of Russian Roulette, in which, instead of pointing the gun at one's own head and spinning the chamber, one points it at another's head.
