Other forms of poker...

[mikee_j]

two question really:

1) where can i find a good source online to get the rules and basic strategy for the other poker games such as lowball, razz, irish and other such games


2) is there anywhere online to play these other games?



thanks

Full Tilt was the only place I remember seeing razz

As for playing these on line I am afraid I dont know

Full Tilt and Bugsy's Club both do razz for real money. They also do HORSE tourneys (including STTS), although FTP has so many more players, you can find a HORSE game more quickly there.

And FTP have started doing satellites to the $50k WSOP HORSE game... for those with larger bankrolls 

Irish - is that the same as Crazy Pineapple? (I.e. like Hold'Em but with three cards and you discard one of the three on the flop?) If so, Ultimate Bet is the only place for that.

Lowball - I don't know of anywhere that does single draw lowball, but the Triple Draw variants (ace-to-five and deuce to seven) are available on Ultimate Bet - cash games only.

The Tribeca Network does Badugi/Padooki, which can best be described as being sort of like a four-card version of Triple Draw Lowball, but with a few key differences - most of the big Tribeca sites have the rules and some basic strategy for that one on their homepages.

That's about it, I think...

I've heard that Pokerroom.com do five card draw and chinese poker, although I don't play there, so can't verify it.

And the Prima network does five card stud, but I wouldn't play that if you paid me.
