Default Another \"hold\'em challenge?\"

[cross-posted response]

It should be noted that "holdem challenge" was developed by sklansky in the past, but hasn't taken hold. I did play it for nickles once at sam's town on a slot machine while waiting to play a tournament. Actually I thought it made a GREAT slot machine, WTF why don't more casinos have it?

Given there are already about three other hold'em type table games out there, and the fact that hold'em challenge didn't take off very much, I'm not going to hold my breath very much at first.

And I doubt sklansky designed the game to where someone would be soon publishing a book on how to beat it. The house edge may be quite small tho for optimal play, that sounds reasonable.

It is extremely hard to play this game optimally; there are a huge number of exceptions to general rules you would have to come up with.
