There is a bunch of Vietnames running a stud game in there restaurant after buisness hours in my area. It is difficult to get into that game, u need to be invited. Fortunatly, i got to know one of them in my Wednesday night NL hold'em game and got invited.
But they changed the rules a lot and I need some advises.
Rules:
-Ante: 1$
-Spread limit 1$-3$ on every street except 7th were the limit is spread 1$-5$
-The HIGHEST card pays the bring-in (1$)
-It is FORBIDEN TO CHECK... u ether put 1$ in the pot or fold when it's ur turn to act.
-A WILD CARD is randomly determined by cutting the deck before each hand. (I HATE wild card...)
-Every time a player get an open wild, he as to put 1$ in the pot before the betting round.
-One last thing. The seventh Street is face up.
I'll agree whit you, those rules sucks...
Positives aspects:
-Players are clueless about basic poker strategie, let alone 7-stud.
-Everyone buy-in for at least 100$ (lots of dead money!)
-There basic strategie is to chase wild cards. (They sometimes bang the table when cards are dealt "for luck"...)
-Some of them barely looks at other players board. I've seen a player call on the end whit a hand that could'nt beat is opponent board!
Negative aspects:
-The Ante structure is to high comparing to the limits, making tight play very expensive.
-Wild cards... (Again, i hate wild card... Thought i was trought playing whit them when i learned hold'em.)
-The Fact that you CAN'T check.
-A legitimate raise won't cut down the field. There is a showdown 99% of the time, mostly multiway.
I usually destroy the game i play. It's 0,25$/0,50$ NL hold'em, once or twice a week. Every player only buy-in for 20$ (sometimes re-buy) and i managed to be over 1,887$ in the last 10 months. U get the picture. However, i'm a 24years old student whit a lots of scholarship debts and a limited bankroll. I usually pay monthly fees like Phone bills or rent whit my winning. I've also been playing on-line for the last 4 months and won a cool 1,750$ since i started, mostly playing tourneys and NL or PL Hold'em. I KNOW I'm a better player that those guys but I can't suffer the Bankroll variation excpected to learn how to beat there game the hard way...
I'm also afraid there rules might fit there playing style and prevent a good player from beating it. (I'm refering to the "EVALUATING THE STRUCTURE AND ADJUSTING TO IT" section of chapter-25 in "The Theory Of Poker", page 258.) There style of play may no get them the money but it surly can prevent me from getting it...
Thx
