Not really new, but it might enjoy some sort of renewal when this TV stuff passes. I learned it from my dad and his friends about 45 years ago.
Dealers choice, table stakes (you guys call it NL), cash. Rebuys with whatever money you've got in your pocket for as many times as you need to. Host provides booze, refreshments, and snacks (and don't you dare ask people to chip in, you're the host), guests are welcome to bring additional snacks if desired but never required, venue changes so that everyone gets to play host. Couples welcomed.
For more info, your folks or grandparents (depending upon your age) can probably provide more details ... if they can remember
