Something novel I hadn\'t seen before (low-content)
Been a while since I've posted on here (lack of Pacific hand histories got to me!) but I still enjoy O8 and keep playing it from time to time.
I tried out the $2/4 kill game at the Taj Mahal on a trip to AC last week and saw more or less what I expected -- loose game with at least 5 seeing most flops, a bit more raising than I'm used to in the same game at Foxwoods, though. But one thing I didn't expect was to see the same player twice within an hour show down trips-in-hand! And to top it off, both times he flopped the case card for a set. Once he won by making aces full; I forget if his other set of eights won anything or not. I know there are players who'll find things to love about bad hands, and I've hear it argued that AAAx is playable in some situations (e.g. small blind) but I thought even us novices all knew not to play trips-in-hand! Totally off-topic, I'm going to put in a plug for our wiki project. (A wiki is a community-edited website that anyone can contribute to just by clicking the edit button.) It could use some additions to its O8 content; see limit hold 'em for an example of the potential that the wiki format holds. OK, end of shameless plug. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

I'd guess AAAx suited probably has some merit in a shorthanded pot, especially if it's with a wheel card
