Manila Have you heards of This??

Hi guys,

There is this new game being spread here, its called manila. Here is how it works:

One blind, each player is dealt two cards face down from a reduced deck (7- Aces). Then one card is dealt face up. The person to the left of the blind now decides if he wants to continue with his hand etc. until all players acted first round complete. Then the second card is turned over, the third, fourth and then the fifth card (offcourse between every turned card there is a betting round).


Anyway here is my Question: Do you guys have any strategy for this game, should i play st8 cards, flush card, overpairs (what about pot odds and drawing hands etc)..


Thanks for all help,

-MJ

Stupid game, more of a nuts game than any other. If you don't have it someone does. It's just about the only game played live here.


Straight draws are abysmal. You will be in trouble if the board pairs or flushes, and thats over 78% of the time. Play for big fulls and flushes. Use little or no imagination. There is only one small blind, so you can afford to wait wait and wait. If you play loose you will lose and lose badly.
