Royal LHE on Ub

Any of you guys played the Royal version of LHE? I have been playing the play money version for now till I get a better strategy of the game before playing for real. It's not very popular in real money yet and can only be short handed play for obvious reasons. Any thoughts?

Thanks

I figure new games are always better for smart players, so like TD at UB, these should be massively profitable in BB/100 even if they may have trouble spreading medium limits.

I tried this game today for the first time on UB. I was too chicken to invest too much money, so I played .02/.04. I played for about 15-20 minutes and ended up around $2, so about 50 big bets. I believe this game can be highly profitable. So many people refusing to believe their two pair are beat along with people calling with the bad end of a boat. Personally, i did not raise one time preflop, even with AA. The games are of course very wild. It will be interesting to see if this game can become popular enough to spread to the 2/4, 3/6 and higher limits.

I emailed Ub about that and they don't know yet. This is what they told me;

Yes. It is possible that we can post some of these tables in the future but we can't confirm you this yet.
Please feel free to contact us in case you have further questions or need more assistance. It is a pleasure to help you!

They've got it at 2/4 and 3/6 now, although at the moment no one's playing 3/6.

There's two full 2/4 and 3 3/6 games going right now. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm assuming this is the game played with a stripped deck. I'm almost positive someone already did the odds for a lot of common situtions, but I can't find the post (Gritter or Fnord maybe?).

If I remember right, straights and flushes are the hands you want to avoid. Two pair and trips fill up a ridiculious amount of the time.

Yeah the deck is only made up of A,K,Q,J and T's or 20 cards hence the 6 max play. Flushes are only going to be Royal Flushes so suited cards are not worth much since it's still hard to get a Royal.

Flopping a straight is almost always a sucker bet. When a straight hits the board is the only time your good but so is everyone else. AA, KK and even QQ is pretty good pre flop if you hit trips since you will have a good chance of filling up by the river. Top 2 pair isn't bad but harder to fill up. Depending on the situation really anything less than a straight on the board is bad. Going to do some figuring with Poker Stove on this. Would like to get a starting hand chart, odds, implied odds, betting strategy, etc.

A flush will never lose in this game.
