Casino Texas Holdem game

[krackerjack]

About 10 years ago in Vegas, I used to play this Texas Holdem like table game in the casino. If I remember right, you would get four cards and discard two. If you wanted to, you could double your bet and play both sets of cards. The dealer would do the same -- playing two cards of four. I didn't play it much, but enjoyed it and generally made money playing it. I haven't seen it since...anyone know if any casinos are still offering this game?

Yeah they offer it at the casino I play at, it's called Texas Shootout, I've never played it I hear the odds are huge in the casinos favor.

Wow. Its great to hear someone else has heard of this game--and in Vegas! I thought I was the only one to ever hear of this game (featured in my danky local casino). I have never seen anyone write about it anywhere, but I am surprised its not featured on wizardofodds.com, if they have it in Vegas.

Check out my earlier post about it:
