Title: Dealers choice cash games
Post by: 4dam on February 28, 2006, 08:33:13 PM
As with many of you guys and gals who play cash live. You would have came accross deales choice. now i can hold my own at holdem, omaha and a couple of others. But i have big leaks in others. And i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get info on some of these other games. Or some your own ideas about these other variants of the great game.

Hold Em, Omaha High and Hi Low are all well written about

Irish I haven't seen any study resources on, but I would usually keep your made hand on the discard and make others pay for keeping thier draw

Stud and Stud Hi Lo? Sklansky's your man, Let me make sure Sheriff sees this...he'll give you rhyme and reason

Lowball? Razz? yuk!

Does your dealers play Padooki and other things?

which is why I asked.


The Luton dealers has

Hold Em
Irish up to 5 card
Both Omahas up to 6 card
Both studs
lowball
Pineapple

I would appreciate anyone with knowledge of a good book on the "Lo" Stud games telling me where to look

Best one is Ray Zee's Hi-Lo Split Poker, which covers both Stud and Omaha Hi/Lo.

Also, I've just finished (with the intention of reviewing) 'Play Poker Like Johnny Chan" which is a basic introduction to all the main games and is quite good as an initial guide.  You won't get heaps of detailed strategy but its a good start point as there aren't many decent multi-game books around.

You get 3 hole cards and have to dump one of them on the flop.  It's like hold em on the rounds after that.

Nottingham has some crazy cash games like that

I just sit out of triple draw and padooki,  rest i'm ok with just be prepared to gamble ;)

Hi/lo is my fav variant whether its stud or omaha, plenty of books out there to read.  Have to say not read
any poker book yet, but got good advice from the internet :)

Why would anyone want to sit out in a game that you can be dealt the stone cold nuts for no ante ?
