So this is a full table then?

What is the name of this game?

If this is an eight handed game almost every single card is going to be out. That means when the board is threatening a big hand... paired flops, three-flushes etc. someone ALWAYS has it. I would think bluffing in this game would very ineffective.

When I first read your description I thought it sounded retarded but the more I think about it there are some definite possibilities to this.

You need to start with at least 3 wheel cards. Especially in a full game. There is going to be a low almost every single hand. The exception would be when you are dealt trip face cards in the hole. Lower trips would be of reduced value unless you had other draws to go with it.

Flop play would be critical. The concealment of the strength of your hi hand would be the key to profitability, especially on boards where a wheel was highly likely.

Furthermore I would venture hands like straights and flushes would be of greatly reduced value by themselves.

Interesting idea
