A game only played by the most hardcore poker players. The game, from the inspirational mind of Teddy Gohmann, is very controversial and tends to sort out those poker players who play to win from those who play to have fun. Strike back with Vengeance in Robot Revenge!:
Start by choosing which way to play...
Old School Rules
Begin the game as Standard 5 Card Stud
After discard and a round betting the cards are played
If you think your King is the Terminator, you WIN!
However,
if more than one person claims to have the Terminator in their hand, the
players must settle with a game of War with their remaining hand.
If you believe that your Jack resembles John Conner, you can over power the Terminator by throwing it down and reciting, "You just can't go around killing people!" (or any other quote from him in T2) He may be only played once to cancel a terminator, after that first Jack is used there are no other John Conner's.
Rare,
but could happen. If your cards
make up the date of Judgment Day(8-29-97) you take the pot.
After
a player loses to a battle with another Terminator( or to a Sarah or John)
he must recite “I’ll be back!”
If player doesn't recite any of the required phrases he must then say "There's no fate but what we make for ourselves!". If they don't recite that, they have to double the pot.

Robot Revenge with a Vengeance
Begin the game as Standard 5 Card Stud
After discard and a round betting the cards are played
Players organize the cards in the order they are played (the top card being first) and then lay them on the table. Penalty for looking at the cards results in the player being terminated.
Before any player flips a card a round of betting is done.
The starting player's first flipped card is the attacking card, the next player then must neutralize and then attack by flipping the cards until a higher valued hand is shown. This cycle continues until all cards are played out.
If a neutralizing card is a higher value (not equal) than the previous attacking card then not only is that threat neutralized but it will also serve as the attacking card (e.g. A John Conner is played, if the next player plays an A-Bomb then John Conner is destroyed and the next player must neutralize the A-Bomb).
If a player cannot beat the attacking card he is terminated. The last person standing is the winner. In the event of a tie( i.e. a player neutralizing the previous player's attacking card but not having an attacking card himself) the attacking and neutralizing player share the pot.
If a player has a hand that makes up the date of Judgment Day (8-29-97) then he automatically wins. In the unlikely event that there are two Judgment Days the players share the pot.
Penalty for not saying the phrases result in termination of the player.
When you attack/counterattack you must recite a quote from the character in the respective movie/show. Or in case of an Ace (A-bomb), you must say "Boom!!!"
You must strongly believe that your King is the Terminator, otherwise he isn't...
