Just think how sick this will be if they spread NL. Straights calling all ins on the turn with the 'nuts'.

I don't think this game would be good NL. The swings that can happen from turn to river are just too huge.

I have never played, and have no experience with this game aside from playing poker once against a friend with a euchre deck, and from reading this thread.

Why are the swings in this game higher than in normal Hold'em?

I don't know if they are or not, my comment was talking about Royal spread as NL. From my personal experience playing though I've had many outcomes of hands change drasticly from turn to river.

It's easier to hit a two outer when the deck has less than half as many cards.

And the small deck (combined with loose opponents) also frequently gives you pot odds to chase those two-outers.

Yes, AA is a thru ticket in many pots.

I'm finding a few more players are playing decent, don't know if it is just them or 2+2'ers. Still the games are great. Hoping it lasts a couple weeks, I might actaully clear my 1K$ of bonus.....

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
 

The game is horrible now. I just joined a 3 handed $1/2 game with two 2+2ers and one person who I didn't know that was playing decent and was probably also a 2+2er.

Yuck.

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
 

The avg VPIP in .25/.50 is around 50%, go up in limits and it drops quickly. In .25/.5 nut peddling (cap KK and AA, call a raise with AK, limp AQ) and continuing only if you flop 2-pair yeilds a decent hourly rate (relative to the BB at least). It's so mindless that you can put the table in mini-mode and play three tables (UB max) while multitabling another site. Easy side money.

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
