Huh? I thought the answer was 41.........oh, wait......that was totally different question.

Doc

In the home games of my past, Tahoe was Pineapple where you never discarded. So 3 card LHE where you can play 0, 1, or 2 cards with the board to make a 5 card hand. Southern would be 3 card Omaha, for contrast. If these guys are playing /8, you should be able to use different cards to make low and high.

The only Tahoe I've played is Tahoe pitch n' roll... four cards dealt, discard one, choose one as upcard, then play PL Stud 8. Fourth and fifth streets dealt together, then sixth, then seventh (up).

hi eric! how's the 20?

41/82 limit tahoe hi/lo? book it.

that's consistent with the link i posted. however nothing on the white board and nothing on the house rules list taped over the other house rules list says it has to be 8 or better! maybe they play it no qual or declare.



hi wook! i searched but couldn't find the origin. it was someone's last $1.47 on some site and he sponsored a tournament or something?

Man, that is too old for me to remember at this point.

I don't really remember what led to this point, but here's where the gauntlet was thrown down.

Even /8, split pot 2 card hold'em over-rewards A's. AK is often a decent 2 way hand, iirc. 3 card is still broken. I think 3 card O/8 is a better game. If this is 3 card LHE played split pot no qualifier, hands that feature high stuff like KK, JJ, and QQ are going to be crushed by AK hands, because they're always playing for half the pot. Maybe once the pots are 8 way and some real uncounterfeitable low draws come in the mix, the A-big-big hand won't totally dominate.
The buck forty something HU4Rolz challenges are dearly missed.

hi tyler

nice sleuthing, friendo.

i remember the meme getting perverted from $1.43 to $1.47 but i don't remember when that happened. looks like it was remyxo's fault. or maybe bella's fault. or maybe my fault.

vim yo. g~ (or gU or gu).

edit: also hi babar

Limited 20 lately.. more green chips due to bankroll hits caused by awesome vacations.


Indeed

There are also some simple AHK scripts out there which are "portable" between editors, browsers, office apps, etc. Googling "AHK convert text" should produce good results.

Damn, I couldn't even get this right. I meant 42 not 41. Which was the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

aaron,

this guy is my favorite:

all,

today i earned two new poker achievements (are we still doing checkboxes?):
[x] play poker in montana
[x] play with overs[1]

this afternoon i went to the big poker room (4 tables) because pokeratlas said they had regular 1/2 nl and sometimes 2/5 plo. what they actually had was a broken plo game, an nl game on fridays and saturdays, and one table of 2-6 spread (with $5 rake).

i sat down and after getting settled remembered that i was a stranger in a strange land. doug and i, amongst the many (many, many) things we talked about, had also discussed game integrity as we occupied his living room until his daughter told us to stfu so she could go to bed. so i started paying attention to the dealer: how he took rake, how he pitched cards. it didn't take long for me to be appalled as the dealer routinely turned the stub all the way over while collecting chips with his left hand.

i pointed it out and the first dealer kinda did better. then a second dealer pushed in and he did it even worse than the first dealer! plus after i pointed it out he didn't do anything different.

so i cashed out and took the floor aside and said hey, you might want to look at this because all your dealers are doing it and it's a game security issue and as an out-of-towner it makes me uncomfortable and don't you have a gaming commission that cares about this sort of thing? the floor said "thanks but: [one of my least favorite answers in customer service]

1. montana is kind of screwed and has no gaming commission
2. good luck finding a room in montana where the dealers aren't sloppy with technique"


after dinner, i went to the medium poker room (3 tables) because it's right by my hotel and they were supposed to have 4/8 o8 tonight. what they actually had was 3/6. with overs!

no one at the table had a button and i, having never seen such a button, just wanted to see what it looked like. so i asked the dealer, "hey can i see an overs button?". he tossed me one and then asked, "does anyone else want to play overs?". the LAG on my right and the guy on my left who thought he was good both immediately took a button. ok i guess we're playing overs now.

it cost me two ($6) BB when the lag's T3s turned a flush hu against my tp2k. it either saved me two ($6) BB or lost me six ($6) BB when i c/f to a $12 river bet against thought-he-was-good with T7 on a 87283 board -- i don't think he's value betting a worse 7/66 or bluffing a busted 1-card draw > 25% of the time.

anyway, all three dealers at this little place (the entire casino was half occupied by three tables and the cage, half occupied by twelve slot machines -- a more intimate, seemingly more authentic, montana poker experience) had solid stub security.

big poker room can suck it.

[1] if, at the start of a betting round, all the remaining players have an overs button, that round is played at higher stakes. in this case, it was a 3/6 game with 6/12 overs.

nice tr tyler

Nh, tyler-cracker

It's a perfectly natural viewing angle for fireworks.

I liked egg-eye man. I think the lesson is not to hook bottle rockets to a string taped to your forehead.

Last roman candle fight I was in we set the dry grass on fire a little. But we put it out. A roman candle flare going by your head is pretty cool looking.

easy for you to say, mr. has-both-his-eyes.

also, never come to montana. especially not the beartooths. it is terrible.

nom

Awesome photo.

douglas did your daughter receive my postcard?

if so, did she spot the bad code?

She did, and she liked it. Not sure about the code. I'll ask her if she wanders by.

I actually got to play in a ~1.50/3, rounded cus bitcoins, six handed game on swcpoker the other day. Was fun. Usually it's 3 handed at most at that stake.

Unfortunately, they took away the big promos. They say there's new promos in the works though.
