Yea guys, this may not be the full vindication everybody deserves for the UB scandal, but getting this documentary out there into the public brings to light a lot of the shadiness that went on and has been pretty much forgotten. Really important that this gets funded

[shipit2kg]

Absolutely. Donation done.

Tough to even watch, hard to stomach.

Hey anyone playing open faced Chinese poker can help with a question?


Once you have placed a card, does it have to stay in that hand forever?

For example lets say your hand looks like this ATM:

A 2

7 7 8

8 9 T J Q

If you draw a K, can you then put that into your last hand and move the 8 into your middle hand?

Yes.

Here is a good primer for rules etc.

Yea, that's where I was reading about it, but it didn't really seem to make it clear. Just said you have to play in turn, wasn't sure if you could swap. Thanks Clayton.

it's a fundamental rule of the game, since fouling your hand kills it and gets you scooped. if you could move cards around it'd be much harder (impossible?) to foul a hand.

this, and yes if you could move your cards it would be impossible to foul your hand unless you brainfarted and set it wrong. If you could move your cards it would be retarded because you can see your opponents hands so it would be like regular chinese except at the end you would just move your cards around and set your hand based on what your opponent had. Not being able to move your cards is a crucial element to the game.

What ..... the ...... **** ........
I got this email from pokerstars after my last cashout request.
I have been playing for years, winning and losing with pokerstars like a normal poker player, I am a supernova and has been that for a long time.

I realize you're frustrated, but either stars made a mistake (who doesn't from time to time), or you left out some pertinent information. I'd probably only post here once its clear that stars is making an unfair decision against you and refuses to correct the situation. post seems premature. gl
