You now bet during sit n goes on the flop color being all of the same color. It pays 8:1 if you hit. Im lazy what are the odds of actually hitting this ?

Party poker is like the newest hustler on the block these days.

This reminds me of Dave Chappelle saying he doesn't do drugs, just weed.

Great... a new way to go on tilt. What's that 2+2 book that helps you control tilt again??

Adding blackjack at the click of a button at a poker table is a brilliant money making move by Party, IMO.

An all-(your color) flop is 8.5:1 against, and they're paying 8 for 1 (aka 7:1)

If I understood this correctly, the house edge is a whopping 17.65%. Combined with a max bet of $10, I can't imagine that anyone will ever win enough to play it more than once.

Why would they put such a low limit on such a high edge bet?

Oh, wait a minute, we are talking about Party.

Because in case you and a few of your friends shared card color information you could gain a very large edge (think Omaha for instance). My prediction is this feature will be discontinued fairly soon.

You bet before the hands are dealt.
