I'm all for it, I do enjoy playing it - but I don't think it's as amazing as everyone is making it out to be though :/

Yeah, but they have to close their faces.

signed, dont know the game but w/e

Wait....what?

LETS DO IT

Let's getiton!

Quite a fun game. Signed

Signed for HU only

Signed

But fear of bots and collusion legit imo

Only Hup tabels solves the collusion part but not the bots problem

Put it on the play money tables too

Yes!

This would be awesome. They had an ofc tourney at pca so theres a precedent

ok

never played it don't know how to play but I'll sign

I think Pokerstars Steve said it was 100% never gonna happen because there was solvability concerns.
Releasing it on play money can't hurt though ?

Way too easy for bots to solve sadly. If they can get around that would be the most awesome game ever obv

According to Barry Greenstein in this video (around the 7:00 mark) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TtyyM8K-aE , it is complex it isn't even close to being possible to solve this game with our current computer power. People ought to contact stars so we can get this game going in a safe environment.

plssssssssss stars. Only HU tables also good

It is reasonably hard to make large mistakes so everyones edge even against fish will be fairly small and since Stars will obviously rake the games it's most likely that everyone will be a loser longterm.

This and the very real possibility of bots being present in OFC games make this a terrible idea

Wow. You must be a genius then. I make a ton of pretty big mistakes, quite often in the 5+ points range when I calculate it after the hand is over. So does Barry Greenstein in the video I linked to above. 2 big mistakes and one small one in just the two hands demonstrated in the video... This is not a small edge game.

Signed.

I am running the Open Face Chinese Poker Android App available at thirteencards.net.

I have never read so much misinformation in a single thread.

1. The Edge: is huge, winrates of 50bb/100hands is not even rare, i have about one million hands to prove that. I will release an article on that soon enough so you guys understand there is some very serious money to be made.

2. Collusion: Is absolutely impossible because you have all the information at all times, how would you not notice if you would be "colluded" by 2 other players?

3. Botting: have you ever played LIMIT Texas Holdem? It still exists on Pokerstars and everyone knows there are bots out there which can beat the crap even out of professional players, and they did, happened on highstakes limit Holdem years ago. The huge difference to OFC is, if you get botted, you will be able to notice way faster than in any game with hidden information.

Just start playing, learning and enjoying that new art form of poker, it is here to stay. If you had been at the PCA or WSOP and seen the massive amount of tables you would know.
