SSH - About David Sklansky

[NoChance]

In the beginng of SSH, in the section About David Sklansky , (page ix) it says he recently invented a new game called Poker Challenge that will soon be apearing in casinos. Does anyone have any information on this game?

*Sorry if this has been discussed before and I missed it. A search did not bring anything up.

try searching the older archives, i know there is stuff about this game there, cuz i asked this question also [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Its a holdem table game, not really poker...

Thanks. I must have messed up my search the first time.

Sounds interesting and seems like many might try it while waiting on "waiting lists" for the live tables.

Hold'em Challenge failed as a table game. There is a video game that may or may not be associated with David, but it is failing also.

From what I can tell this is the idea:

3 hold'em hands are dealt face up on the table. You then bet on which hand will win at showdown. There are also certain places where you can increase your bet and/or there are certain hands that give you an increased payout.

Actually if you're bored and say on an airplane it's kind of a fun diversion to see how often you can guess which of the three hands will win. Also if you are just starting out it can help with board reading.
