My experience has been:
Chicago=spade
High Chicago - Highest spade in the hole wins half the pot
Low Chicago - Lowest spade in the hole wins half the pot
Cincinnati=diamond, etc.
I've never heard of a city/name for heart or club.
I'm sure they are out there.

We called it guiitine (too lazy to look up the spelling for that word) and it was only low heart in the hole won half, and if there was a "loser" in the hand (neither low heart or high hand) the loser had to MATCH the pot and pay it to the winner. |
