Padooki...Deal four cards face down to all players. Round of betting. Gather up discards in a pile. Burn a card and put a chip on it. Going from left of button ask "how many". Player can draw 1 to 4 or stay "pat". After you have done this round of betting. Repeat and rinse
The key points for you the dealer are: once it gets to last but one card you have to gather all the discards so far and the burn cards. Shuffle twice and cut. Burn and continue. By and large in Notts this will happen in most Padooki games. Nuts is A234 rainbow. Two or more cards of same suit is a "flush" . Padooki beats flush, flush beats pair.
Irish..Deal cards as in normal Omaha/Holdem game. Round of betting. Deal flop. Round of betting. Those still in discard and game becomes Texas for Turn and river.
Superstud. 5 cards face down. Players staying in discard 2 and put whatever card they want as upcard. Then you burn and deal up as in 7 card stud. Game is hi lo. Can end up with no cards left so you shuffle discards (but I believe NOT the burn) as in Padooki.
Shifting sands etc NOT played in Notts.
Oh, Padooki can be Picture card wild, If this is chosen you deal face up from the top until you get a Face card. You then declare "kings wild" etc about 100 times 'cos no ones listening.
Obviously you give the deck a good shuffle so that pesky picture card doesn't pop out to the button
