"Texas Two-step" in Toronto

[DavidC]

Hey guys.

A flaw in my game is that I don't know my outs for flop-to-river.

I've invented a game called "Texas Two-Step" to exercise this skill. It's the same as Texas Holdem, except that the turn and river card come up together (and there's therefore no betting on the turn).

Is anyone interested in getting together in Toronto or the Toronto area to meet some 2+2ers and play a live game of Texas Two-Step for $1/$2 or $2/$4 stakes (say on a Monday or Tuesday)?

I know, I know, it's a weird game, but playing weird games is fun sometimes, and it's similar enough to what we're doing.

This is interesting, but it's a whole different animal than Hold'em. Drawing hands and overpairs are much, much better, while pairing on the flop seems like it might be useless

I'd play but im in california /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I'm not crazy about this idea. It reduces the effectiveness of being skilled at post-flop play by eliminating the most important betting street, and equalizes a lot of opportunities where good players would normally have the best of it. This game can only help fish out and hurt thinking players.
