Bizarro Poker Game

I'm just curious - for those who answered the poll with a "Yes" for whether the game is beatable:

How is this game beatable? What would be your strategy to beat this game?

I answered yes, but I suppose it all depends on how frequently you have to "drop a dollar". Without that rule, there are no blinds and no antes, so all you have to do is fold every hand except pocket As and you should win in the long run. Obvioulsy you could play a few more, but the point is that you can play super-uber-tight without any penalty.

The "drop a dollar" silliness is something like a de facto ante, though, so it may make the game unbeatable.

Either way, even if its theoretically beatable, I wouldn't play in the game because it sounds so painfully retarded. Plus I hate the idea of paying any sort of rake at a "home game". If I'm going to pay for the privaledge of paying poker, I want the benefits of state regulation, cameras, security, people who know what the [censored] they are doing, etc...
