LOL the "W" and "S" are pretty close to each other.

As I said there are times I just call a bet because I'm so confused on whether I have a winner or not - then I scoop the pot LOL

At least I'm honest and at least I know that even though I'm a wave short of the shore in LO8 - there are many more even farther from the shore.

My motto is - don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself - it'll happen anyway.

I kind of like "There is more to this game than you think", but I have a rather dry sense of humor.

There is - everybook you read says 90% of the game is starting cards. Which in one sense is true but after there there is an entire onion to peel that is what really makes this game great.

Actually 1/4 blood American Indian 1/4, French 1/2, the rest of the world . . . .if you are really interested.

This is a decent motto for you. Another candidate might be "ignorance is bliss" or, if you're looking for something that cuts straight to the bone, "being utterly oblivious makes life simple."

Well, I guess that I was wrongly told I didn't win.
It was a live game at guy's house - and since I dunno a damn thing about this game, I asked twice to explain and was told "you'll get it after awhile"...It was a $10 buy-in so I wasn't exactly pissed, but I did think I won.

So basically, the rule here is that I have to use 2 of my cards and 3 of the boards cards ONLY? In other words, if I were to have K234 and the board is AQJ109, i'd have to play my K and 4 and have a hand of A-K-Q-J-4 (completely hypothetical, I dont need anyone telling me, "why are you playing K234?")

Is this right?! If so, i get it now

I really like this game, I'm just confused w/ the rules

exactly right...2 from your hand and 3 from the board in all circumstances.

I'm a Hold'em player who recently has taken up O8 and after about 3,800 hands I'm 1.5BB/100 in the hole which is pissing me off. (Yeah, I know the sample is too small)

Thanks, for the thread guys. What a confidence booster.

And it's good to get a good laugh in the morning.
