Can we have some citations? There is another (better attested in English?) poker game known as "Chicago": seven card stud, high hand splits the pot with the player with the highest spade in the hole (it even has its own variant, Low Chicago, where the lowest spade in the hole is used instead). I can't find anything on the game described here. — Gwalla | Talk 03:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a Swede, I can definitely say that the Swedish card game Chicago is not a poker game and because of that this article have the wrong title. Greverod 15:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As for citations, I think that is difficult. This is one of the most played card games in Sweden (possibly the most played), but for some reason Swedish books of card games, even new ones, still seem to always forego it (while sometimes discussing a related game), just like they often use the name "Beredskap" for the game almost universally known as "Plump", and give rules for the first stage of "Skitgubbe" that I have never seen in actual use. (Neither of these are regional variations, either, as far as I have been able to tell.) Next time I go to a library, I will try to find a book that actually does mention this game. If I can't, I will reluctantly but unhesitantly support any nomination for deletion of this article. -- Jao 18:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update: According to the sv: article, Dan Glimne's Kortspelshandboken discusses the game. Glimne is a celebrity in Sweden and considered a premier authority on card games (and some other games), so that sounds reliable. I'll look into the book as soon as I can. -- Jao 18:54, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is what most people mean when referring to chicago as a card game: http://www.imaconlinepoker.com/rule/poker/chicago/ 91.138.75.123 (talk) 15:29, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
