Re: minimum buy in- post->push->leave
Here is an interesting idea, although it will ruin your ability to do this again to anyone that sees it. Proceed as OP stated, but always show your bluff if you take it down uncontested. Then pay the...

Re: 7 Card Stud Hi/Low split question
Why wouldn't everyone just declare "both" every time? Do you have to actually scoop or get rewarded nothing? Typical KC lowball strategy should let you know what low draws have straight blockers on...

Re: No look
I enjoy this game on occasions, we play it spread limit in home games, calling it no peek. Frankly I like to build the ever loving hell out of the pot early and encourage others to stick around...

Re: TDL 2-7: HU with 22233
You can make an argument for reraising this hand in all situations. The SB acting first in the hand will tell you what to do. If he draws 1, I think you gotta draw 3, but your opponent will remember...

Re: 2-7 TD, improving to 1 card draw
Reading is hard. My mistake.
I think I still favor a deception check, but it's way closer now. Not sure any line you take here is particually incorrect. Raiser isn't going anywhere on this street....

Re: 2-7 TD, improving to 1 card draw
What happened to giving opponents improper odds to draw on the next street in a heads up pot? If you keep the pot at 2 BB's, check it over and he checks through, you draw 1 and he draws 2, you should...

Re: General Question @ Triple Draw

Re: Lowball Math - post from Magazine Forum
You have to give the opponents a hand to make the math worth. You can't do the math here with 2 opponents on random hands. For all we know you could have a donkey on 8763 drawing one dead and a fish...

Re: An interesting break decision
Consider betting out and taking none. You've seen a ton of cards under 6, he is very unlikely to draw into a hand he can call a stand pat with. I think this line will yeild the most profit out of the...

Re: TD A-5 situation Im not really sure of.
6 handed, depending on how loose the players are and how low the limits are, the deck is about to become nearly void of new cards before the reshuffling takes place and roughly 20 good cards leave...

Re: Best Hand Against The Rockets
I recalled 65s being the best hand against aces. Pokerstove confirmed my initial thought, as 56s wins 23.056% of the time, as opposed to 76s at 23.0325%, 87s at 23.0209% and T9s at 22.7652% (98 being...

Re: 5 Yellow Starbursts with 1 pull
I thought Starburst only had 4 flavors, lemon, cherry, orange, and strawberry.
Assuming you want the chance of pulling 5 of any one flavor assuming you have 5 choices, it's 1*1/5*1/5*1/5*1/5 or 1...

Re: How much should i bet?
Well if you can't beat the draw, then you lose money every time you call. So the maximum amount is zero, since even calling $1 given the stipulation he hit is draw is a -$1 for you, albeit a...

Re: stupid bonus/jackpot question...
Well you don't call the river without a set, which is a good hand. So it seems +EV to me to call even 3 cold if the set is good enough of the time, since you do win pots as well. By the time you...
