I've spoken with some of you off the list, and it seems like it's worked as a casual Game X in the midst of otherwise seriously poker. In fact, the strategies employed are a great way to get everyone out of a weak-tight theme that can come up when everyone is "playing by the book."
For a reminder, it is EXACTLY like Hold 'em in every way EXCEPT after the flop, BEFORE bets on the flop, EVERY player, in turn from the small blind around can pitch ONE card from their holdings to get a 50% return of their pre-flop wager. From there, you play as normal (best five card hand wins, even if you just one of yours).
Anyone else try this out? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
