Cincinnati

A player receives five cards in Cincinnati (some play with four cards) while there is five cards are laid face down in the community. A round of betting ensues after each one of the cards is disclosed one at a time. The players are permitted to construct their best hands out of all the ten cards.

Ohio

Apart from an exciting turn based on a wild card Ohio is played in the same manner as Cincinnati. The wild card in this game of poker is the smallest card out of five community poker cards.

There is no way of knowing what the wild card is until the final community card has been disclosed except if one is a genius at math. The dealer must declare at the onset of the hand whether the Aces will be high or low.

Several games exist that vary only slightly. Let’s say that the low hand wins in place of the highest hand each time. One could play six-card stud poker in place of five or seven card stud, where the last card is dealt face down, whereby every player has two pocket cards and four open cards.
