Default Re: reverse poker?

it would be very similar to stud on 3rd and 4th streets. there would be a lot more jamming on the turn like in O/8 where there are stronger draws (but instead of more outs, there are more river cards). im sure pocket pairs can become monsters, since if you flop a set you have huge equity against a bunch of runner runner draws. I guess in general the game would be very similar to holdem in the first 2 cards.

sounds kind of like an interesting game, with a little stud, O8 and holdem involved. id imagine youd have a big edge, for the same reason you have one in O8. while it would seem that having less of an edge in your big hands would be a problem, but it's not. people would chase everything to the river, which is big money when you flop a set
