He says it at the end. Is this a dream for players who want to see higher stakes PL/NL triple draw games?

Yeah saw this too.

Hopefully with the action junkies playing this game they will bring this to FTP. Oh wait, they still need to bring Limit TD to FTP...

FTP will not have any draws because of the possible collusion in these games. Howard Lederer have stated this several times(I cant quote him cos I cant find it, but I know Ive read it).

If you email FTP and ask why they dont have lowball draw or draw hi thats the standard answer you get, i guess its impossible to collude in flop or stud games tho.........

Untrue. They will have draw games in the future. I asked FTPDoug in his usual "FTP answers" thread:

9. although you say there are distant plans to add 2-7 triple draw, how distant are they? and do you plan on add all draw games (i.e. 5 card draw, 2-7 triple and single, A-5 triple)?

- When I say "distant plans" that means the end of the year would be the earliest we would see that thing. More likely 2010. Our current pipeline of projects will take us to nearly the end of the year, so if a particular request isn't in that current pipeline, that's when I start saying things like "distant plans."

What exactly is the collusion aspect? I can imagine an extended snow scenario when your buddy has some deuces, but there must be more to it than that.

Knowing between 5 and maybe as many as like 15 dead cards is pretty helpful information. There are few poker games with so many cards that are known only to one player.

And you can bet people out on the basis of this information.

PL triple draw is a scary game, not as scary as pot limit badugi, but still scary nonetheless.

Yes, unless you are the one pulling 6s on the last draw when the other guy was pat the whole way with a 7. In that case it is the greatest game ever.

I am really thrilled about the possible collusion part.
Does that mean 3 players who knows each other could benefit a lot in PS?
It is hard to find any evidences that there is a collusion is going on because there are only a few players playing in higher stake triple draw games. I don't want to be scammed at all so I hope it hasn't happened in the past
