"Oops, that's not the Nuts!"

[daycri]

Is a game me and my friends at my home game have "invented" though it obviously could already be a game.


(antes are small / big blind style)You start with 5 cards and is played in 5 card draw fashion.

You then bet, based on the strength of these 5, and then discard up to 5 and draw..

No betting after drawing,

you then flip 3 community cards...betting round.....a turn....betting round....and finally a river....and more betting.

Cards are then flipped over, and the best 5 card hand (using Any combination of the cards in the community or your hand) wins.

We have been playing this Pot Limit, and man is it sick!

Sounds like a bit of a lottery to me with 10 cards at everyone's disposal but I guess it could be fun. You can only have 4 players max in case everyone changes up 5 cards which is a bit of a drawback (unless you allow discards to be part of the deck?).

we've been playing it up to 6 people, seems nobody discards that many, but that could be a good idea, allowing the discards to be part of the deck.

It is a bit of a lottery in the luck factor, but it seems some people haven't caught on. How many times someone will hold TJQK to catch broadway, or 4 cards to a flush.. Knowing full well that almost every hand it takes a boat or better to win!

The only strategy I know, is hold any pair and try for three of a kind for boats.

But this game is nuts, had a guy flip over a boat, then the next guy have qauds, and the last guy had a straight flush... hence "oops that's not the nuts!"

You should open an online poker room that plays this :D

I could see this being fun if you were even halfway loaded..

the best is trying to figure out what the hell your hand is haha

"I've got two pair.. no, not those, these two pair... oh wait, no its a flush... wait a straight!!" haha
