Bellagio 200-400 O8/KCTDLB

[Phat Mack]

There's an RGP thread about a Bellagio 200-400 game that is half O8 and half 7-5 triple draw lowball. Can anyone tell me when and how often this game is spread?

For new players, KCTDLB = Kansas City Triple Draw Lowball

Kansas City lowball is lowball where Ace is always a high card and straights/flushes are high hands, so 75432 is the lowest hand you can have (the nut low), as opposed to:

a) regular lowball or razz (the wheel straight A2345 is low, flushes are also ignored for low hand), typically in casino games, and

b) 6-4 games (do these have a standard name?) where straight and flushes are not ignored for low, but Aces can be low, making the nut low 6432A. This is typically played in home games.

Thus endeth thy lesson.

Sorry I don't know. But to whoever answers - is there anyplace one can play KCTDLB for something lower than 200-400? Sounds interesting.
