I am trying to find some games to play within NLHE home games. For example, props, the 72 game, or double board bomb pots. Do you have any you play in your home game or elsewhere? What are the rules?

We've played the 7-2, for 10BB a person, but that didn't last long and we haven't done it for a while. We don't play a lot of Hold'em in our dealers choice spread limit game anyway.
I used to have a prop bet with a couple other guys. I had the K-clubs, and if there were Kings or Clubs on the flop I got paid. 1 SB per King and/or Club. If the K-clubs and 2 other Kings or Clubs, I got 3SB (no extra for my actual card or the sweep).
As long as there are a max of 4 players and all pick a different rank/suit, it shouldn't be too bad. You just have to be 'quick' about it and not let it hold up the game at all. From experience, other players HATE when the action is held up for people to pay props (we paid on the spot, didn't keep track).
I suppose you could have the same suit/rank if more people wanted to play, and they would just cancel same as if my rank, but your suit came up.

Red/black flop prop bet
If the flop is 2+ cards red, whoever chose red wins the bet and vice versa if flop is 2+ cards black
And a variant of this is 2x and 3x for all same color and monotone, respectively
So if the prop is $5/flop:
AhKh5c wins $5 for red
AhKh5d wins $10 for red
AhKh5h wins $15 for red

If you want the game to remain hold em, you can add in the occasional wild card. This will make for cooler city, jsyk.
