I think its lame, though a particularly enjoy the comment below

"The game is more like a "Mini Lottery" of a sort, rather than a poker game."

A patent pending poker game... This is just a press release from some douchebag who wants to make some money off of the poker craze, by licensing dumb ideas to casinos.

Seems like licensing dumb ideas to casinos does indeed have some earnings potential.

To quote Samir Naga...Naga...Naganna workere here anymore, that's for sure: "Its terrible, this idea."

[tylerdurden]

so you get two hole cards, six board cards, and the ability to buy a third hole card? Is it possible that flushes will be more common than straights in this arrangement? One pair more common than high card?

[mrkilla]

that would be the theroy, but you also Have to use 2 in your hand like Omaha. Its an outrage. The claim that it will "replace" hold'em as we know it is silly.

So someone loses a bunch of $$ at holdem, blames it on constant suckouts and bad beat, and, instead of learning how to actually play the game, he goes off and designs his own game where suckouts and bad beats won't happen.

Good for him, but I bet he'll suck at this game too.

How about zero-flop-holdem? The winner is determined solely by the first two cards. Aces will never be cracked!!!
