I don't think it's fair to call it a novelty game. I guess badoogi and triple draw would also be considered novelty games, if most of the players were 3-6 instead of 300-600.

I think it's hard to consider a game that is played in the WSOP and in the 4000/8000 bellagio games to be "novelty." Triple draw and no limit 2-7 are played in these. Pineapple isn't. Maybe I'm just blabbering, but I would say pineapple is a novelty game.

FWIW, a dealer once swore to me that the holdem phase will eventually die down and pineapple will take over because it has more action, because the fish can and will play anything.

EDIT: Appologies for hijacking. We now resume normal pineapple discussion =)
