Double flop hold-em
At Dania Jai-Alai, they have poker tables, running the usual 15 hold-em tables,1 Omaha hi/lo table, and a special 1-2 table game of Double flop hold'em.
The game plays out the same as hold'em with 1 major differences. There are two flops and two turns.
Both flops are dealt at the same time and there is a top and bottom one to play from.
So say you have A2spades
Top flop is 6s 7s Tc
Bottom flop is Ac 8s 2c
So on the top flop, you have an Ace high flush draw and on the bottom flop you have Aces up.
Turn is dealt the same way.
There is only one river card.
High hand of top row will split with High hand of bottom row. There will be cases where hands will take the whole pot.
The question is:
How to play this game??
Obviously, this game was created for the action. But that doesn't mean skilled players can't win at this game, they just need proper hand selection.
My estimate is that most of the time pre-flop will be capped.
Knowing this, I would have to say that the most playable hands are Axs/PP (meaning you always have to play this). This is about 9.5% of the total hands.
Are there any hands that should be played for 4 bets pf?
3 bets?
2 bets?
limps?
