Royal Hold'em

[bmxreed36]

I just noticed today that Ultimate Bet is offering Royal Hold'em, a 6 player game that only uses 20 cards--A's, K's, Q's, J's, and T's. I think I've heard of it before as I'm sure it's been offered elsewhere at some point.

Anyone ever play this and is it worth playing? If so, any strategy tips? Thanks.

Couple threads on it in the zoo.

I played it for about a half hour and 90% of the winning hands were full houses. It feels a lot like your playing omaha. You a straight and have to fold or try to drive players out of the pot because your probably not a favorite to win.

Top set seems to be an untouchable hand thought. In one of the few hands I played I flopped trip kings wiht a queen and ten also on the board giving me 7 outs and only 15 unseen cards. Probably the greatest equity I've ever gotten.

Flopped straight is the worst possible hand.
