    Hi all,

    Was reading ianmc's thread about this game. Hadn't heard of it before but it sounds lke something russian roulette players woudl do to kill time between games.

    Anyway, gonna sneak it into our home game tomorrow. Sure they'll never notice how many I'm dealing till it's too late.

    Discussion with a friend earlier prompted a debate however:

    WHATS THE BEST STARTING HAND.

    Maybe this shoudl be a poll or somethng but what would you go for

    AAKK23 triple suited
    AA2345 triple suited
    AAKK22 triple suited
    AAKQJ2 triple suited
    AA2222 (my personal favourite)

    Why the hell isn't there a 6 card PLO8 odds generator. Jesus do I have to ring cardplayer and tell them to get their asses in gear.

    5card double flop PLO is much better.

    I'd go for AA2345 or AAKK23. I actually got dealt A23456 the other night. Needless to say I repotted after straddling to 6. The whole table called and the flop was a delicious KQT

    6 Card Omaha is fun, but the beats are soul destroying.

    Can you explain this a bit?

    Best two cards as usual I'd imagine.

    What if I have

    AAKQJ

    And the flops are AJJ and 555. Does whoever has the case 5 get everything?

    or does two flops mean two pots?

    It plays like usual, two flops, 2 turns and 2rivers. Its a split pot in the above scenario.
    Can get quite confusing towards the end of the night if theres 2 sidepots and the smallest stack splits one pot with the biggest stack and the second stack scoops the second pot, even when 2 of the players are dealers.
