Point Game A new high low split variant we've been playing at our poker club

I wanted to share a poker variant that's been getting traction at our club and see if anyone here wants to try it out. It's called Point Game, and it's a high/low split game with some unique mechanics that make it feel fresh while still being fundamentally poker.
The basics:

5 cards dealt face down (your hand)
5 community cards dealt face up one at a time
The twist: When a community card matches the rank of one of your hole cards, you have to discard that hole card face up
Goal: Make the best 5-card hand worth either the most points (high) or fewest points (low)
Scoring is blackjack-style: Face cards = 10, Aces = 1 or 11, number cards face value
Simultaneous declaration for high/low

Why it's interesting:
The discard mechanic creates this dynamic where your hand is constantly evolving and there's tons of information being revealed as the board develops. You're calculating equity in real-time as players lose cards. The point-counting system is super easy to learn but creates different hand hierarchies than traditional poker.
It originated at Virginia Tech and spread to UT Austin's poker club, but it's still pretty niche - which means it's genuinely unsolved strategy-wise. No solvers, no GTO charts, just poker fundamentals and creative thinking.
I built a free web client where you can play online: pointgame.live
It's fully functional with real-time multiplayer, proper game engine, side pots, the whole deal. I built it as a portfolio project (full-stack with AWS serverless backend), but mainly I just wanted a way for people to actually play the game online.
If you want to learn the rules or try it out with others, I set up a Discord: https://discord.gg/6NGWy6bpXE
Would love to get some experienced mixed-game players' thoughts on it. Fair warning - it's a new variant so the strategy is wide open, but that's part of the fun IMO.
Happy to answer questions about rules or strategy here too!
