non-traditional games

Nick_Foxx · #1 01-25-2005, 05:15 PM

most cardrooms spread some subset of the following games:

hold'em (limit/pot limit/no limit)
omaha (pot limit)
omaha/8 (limit)
stud
stud/8
ace-to-five lowball
deuce-to-seven triple draw lowball

i am wondering what cardrooms spread non-traditional games... for example, a poster today mentioned that his cardroom offers river-down hold'em (this was in the other games forum)...

i am asking specifically about american cardrooms, i am aware that european ones spread all kinds of omaha variations

I believe Commerce still spreads Crazy Pineapple and Pan. Plaza in Vegas still has Pan. Razz is usually spread in cardrooms when there is a tourney going on, as is Chinese poker.

Mississippi has that river downcard like Stud, and for a while they were spreading it in Laughlin because Dan, the CRM came from Silver Star and I guess it was popular there.

Reno tends to have Tahoe, which I've never played, but read about.

Where did you see this? Tunica or the gulf coast?

I played it in Laughlin. The CRM at the River Palms told us that he used to spread it at the Silver Star when he was CRM there.

I never played it in Mississippi.

Are you referring to the game that is similar to Gin?

Jeez, I have no idea. I just read trip reports from here and on poker blogs. I've never even been to Reno, or Lake Tahoe for that matter, lol.

Yeah. More like Rummy, actually, because you must lay down your melds as you make them, or face penalties.

I actually like Pan, but it gives me a headache to play. Too many grumps, and takes too long to shuffle.

Right, that's what I meant. I've played Pan in Vegas at the Plaza, Sahara and San Remo many years ago. I stopped playing it 10 years ago because all the bubbees kept cleaning my clock [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Fun game though.
