3 card Irish

[TightEnd]

I am planning to play in an "Irish" tournament later in the week.

Beyond the basics, never having played it before, I would appreciate any advice/input on strategy/nuances that anyone could give!

Thanks in advance

Well I am the last person from whom to seek advice on playing any sort of poker, never mind "Irish", but as a curiosity, where is this tourney being played? I have only ever played Irish, or heard of it being played, in ring games.

3 card?

[TightEnd]

20 Irish (3 card) at Grosvenor Luton on Thursday. I assume Pot Limit

Props to the staff there for an interesting innovation to coincide with St Patricks day

(By the way the Monday night 50 shootout's now regularly with 40-50 runners have become established and popular)

(especially if you should win one beating the most successful Luton player this year heads up on the way )

You did WHAT? (cue chirp......).

And yes, great thinking by the Luton Management.

Is Irish like Hold'em, but you get three cards and have to fold one of them preflop?

[winkie]

irish follows the same rules as hold 'em, but each player starts with 3 (or more) cards.

the discarding happens after the flop, so that each player remaining in the hand has only two cards (as per hold 'em).

Be a bully.

People always think someone's 'got it'.

No. Aggression pays at 3 card Irish. Got to be more careful at 4 / 5 card but 3 card's not that different to HE.

Keep your draws then get hyper aggro, semi bluff everything and then bink when someone calls.

Seems to work at cash anyway.
