If this is spread in a casino, played against the house, I highly doubt it is beatable. There are usually very strong rules in place governing those games, which mandate a house edge in a certain range, and compliance must be proved.

Well Black Jack is proven to be mathmaticlly beatable as long as you count cards, so maybe the Holdem game is too.

The way I look at it is this... Casino's make most of their money on slot machines. So Mr X goes to the table game cause he finds slots boring, wins a little money cause he counted a card or two. Mrs X lost in slots, so honey can I borrow some of your table winnings for slots?

Black Jack is beatable, but only by about 1/2 percent over the house... assuming you count cards right. Most people will loose in Black Jack though, cause they play it for a long time and can't count cards....

I say if you are going to look at Holdem hands all day, just sit down at a raked table, you probably would make more money if you play those cards just as right as you would play Texas Shootout.
