Irish Poker
Set-up:3 or more players and a deck of cards. Deal four cards to each player face down and have them arrange them in a row, save eight cards to put in the middle in two rows of four cards (the bus).
Poker and drinking games are a natural fit, as it’s easy enough to break out a deck of cards the next time you and your friends have a hankering to play drinking games. “Asshole” is one of the best poker drinking games out there but it’s a little tricky to learn, and sometimes the complicated rules can get in the way of getting your. Irish Poker Rules When the game is played in its more traditional variation, Irish Poker rules are quite similar to that of Texas Hold’em. Players will post blinds before the start of the hand, and the deal will begin with the small blind player and continue clockwise. However, instead of two, each player will receive four hole cards, face down. As some of you will know, Full Tilt Poker has recently added Irish Poker to it's repertoire of games. Irish poker is a variant of Hold'em, where instead of players receiving two hole cards they get four and must discard two after the flop round of betting. After that, it is just like a normal game of NL Hold Em.
How to play: One player starts by guessing the color (red/black) of their left most card: if they get it right they get to pass out two drinks, if they get it wrong they have to take two drinks. The play then continues clockwise until it is the original players turn again. They then guess if the next card is higher or lower than the original card, again if they are right they give out four drinks, wrong they take the four. Play continues like this with each player eventually guessing whether the third card is in-between or outside of his/her first two cards (give/take 6 drinks) and finally what the suit is of their fourth card (give/take 8 drinks).
Riding the bus: The two rows in the middle of the table, set aside at the beginning of the game, represent give in the first row and take in the second row. You alternate from the top the left and right cards (give then take). If one of your four cards matches one of the give or take cards you distribute the drinks accordingly. (From the top left to the bottom right: give 2, take 2, give 4, take 4, give 6, take 6, give 8, take 8).
Note: Whenever giving out drinks you may split them between friends, neighbors, or pets (as long as they are playing too). If you are really desperate or are looking for some ass you can also give the drinks to yourself.

Extreme(ly awesome) Version
If you are 17 or younger close your eyes and go to bed.
If you are a freshmen, find your RA and have them read you a bedtime story.
How to play:The game play is exactly the same, the drinks given and taken are now manly. For the Irish Poker round (first four cards) all drinks given and taken are based on the value of the card (2=2, 3=3, etc. J=11, Q=12, K=13, A=14).
When riding the bus the drinks shift from 2, 4, 6, 8 to 2, 4, 8, beer.
Enjoy! But don’t play this at the beginning of the night unless you are a seasoned veteran, natural tank, obese midget, or ready to make an absolute fool of yourself.

Note #2: Don’t be a dick, make friends and alliances so that no one gangs up on you and makes you remember that one time you drank yourself into your cousin’s bed.
