when you sit, you must play at least one hand. the button is randomized.

but stars has lots of stupid problems they wont fix.

That's awesome. The ones I run into usually rage-quit after just a few hands

Why do you discard 5 instead of 6?

--27TDL noob--

I would discard the 6 but since the other 3 lowcards are suited its closer then "normal" here.

anyone that would prefer to draw to a flush 5432 than 6432 thats not a flush needs to do some thinking, its not remotely close.

weeeeeeeeeeeee!

I think I've played about 30k hands lifetime and ran into this for the first time yesterday, and thought, "oh, weird." (Or I just don't remember it happening in the past.)

Poor cutoff
pretty dirty cooler

im not saying its common, but it should be pretty clear which one you toss and why. its really not close and im not spelling it out

anyone know of a basic hand replayer for pokerstars td hand history?

Wheeee. He bet the whole way.

At one point during HU, I was down 72k-3k (approx). Then the game changed to NLSD. Ship that cheddar

How does he make it to the FT and not know its lowball?

No, it was definitely just the worst snow ever. Couldn't let go of three aces would be my guess (I snow 100% the time with a straight flush in NLSD). He was just your average bad lowball player on all the other hands.

I notice in many of the other subforums they have a graphs/stats thread. Im about 5k hands in on FPDB. Would any of the micro regs that use FPDB or pokerhands want to start one? Or is this a bad idea since we play each other all the time due to the lower number of games vs other forms of poker?

I can't stop staring at that hand with Seb and Gus. Is that real? It makes me think, "Dang, I can play TD as high as I want, and people will still throw money at me." These are dangerous thoughts.
