From 2-7 triple draw low ball

This guy is a lowball shark. Its got to be someone from UK/Ireland as they are drinking Guiness but more than that they said "this is absurd". If it was a yank surely it would have been wack, junk, totally ****** ***** etc. Instead of standing pat he should have thrown in the 9 and try and fill up.

"This Is Absurd!"
There is a player on Blue #4 who has been causing quite a scene through the first two levels of the tournament. He has already received two penalties, one for stalling and one for swearing. He is drinking Guinness and doesn't seem to have a strong grasp on his surroundings or the nuances of 2-7 Triple Draw.

Recently, he tangled with late arrival Tony "G" Guoga. The pot was raised before the draw. He drew two on the first draw, while Tony G stood pat. He checked, then called after Tony G bet.

Both players stood pat after the second draw. Again Tony G bet when the action was checked to him. This time, his opponent tried to move all in. Obviously, this is a limit game, and bet sizes are fixed. The player was not allowed to put all of his chips in the middle.

"This is absurd," he said, drawing laughs from the rest of the table.

Both players stood pat again on the third draw. At this point, Tony G's opponent showed a neighbor his hand, then checked and called when Tony G bet. Tony G showed the second nuts, 7-6-4-3-2. His opponent turned over Q-Q-T-T-9 for two pair.

After the hand was completed, Tony G's opponent was given a two-round penalty for exposing his cards to another player while the hand was still in progress.

Probably should have left him in, he's not gonna last long anyway.

He'll go to the bar and forget he's in and then stumble back in a couple of hours or so. There have been some funny incidents in this tourney one guy was made to check behind with the nuts when he tried to say that someone else had checked. Now there is more discard controversy what a mess!

Discard Controversy
Tournament Director Jack Effel is being chased from one side of the Amazon Room to the other by several players who are unhappy with his decision regarding the procedure to use when more draw cards are taken than are in the deck.

To reiterate, at the start of the tournament Effel declared that discards will immediately be killed and placed in the dead wood. (This is the pile that includes mucked hands but excludes burn cards.) Those cards will be shuffled back into the deck if needed. However, burn cards will stay down on the table for the duration of the hand.

Howard Lederer thinks all discards should be kept separate from mucked cards; you should never have the chance to get back the same card. Typically, in 2-7 Triple Draw, the discards are kept in a separate pile from the muck for this very reason. However, under Effel's rule, it's possible that a player could receive in the third draw a card he discarded before the first draw.

Greg Raymer, and several other name pros, are even more unhapy with the chance to receive the same card in the same round. They all agree that there should never be the chance for such a situation to occur. However, again, under Effel's rule, each player discards, and those discards are immediately killed and placed in the dead wood. If the stub proves insufficient to cover all draws in that round, the dead wood is shuffled and then the draw is completed.

It does seem that discards should only get put back into play if there is no other choice. You would think the sensible order would be mucked hands>burn cards>discards.

"I don't have a 6 or an 8 or a 2," said Yanayt, "but I have some other cards. I think they're pretty good." He showed 9-7-5-4-3, drawing peals of laughter from Tony G. Soulier mucked his hand, allowing Yanayt to survive and to continue to entertain his table.

Same guy as above!

Exit the Absurdist
Eugene Yanayt has been eliminated. In his last hand, he apparently held onto two aces, discarding the other three cards. (Aces are high here.)

"Rebuy!" he said, holding up two one-dollar bills, on losing the last of his chips.

Looks like he found the exit okay

So brilliant! Its just like Razz on Stars!!

Not taking any cards.

It's draw Poker, just like the old days in pubs around Ireland (and still nowadays) except you have 3 draws and have to make the worst possible hand..

This is sooooo much fun on Irish Eyes.
Every few mins an Isreali will kindly pop in to spew off chips.
When they start to lose interest when losing with eg.A,A,A,10,7 against 2,3,5,7,9 I usually type something like..

"This site is rigged..you clearly won that hand..I'm e-mailing support"

Followed by..

"Support say play on as they are investigating the matter"

Then put them on life tilt by taking their last $$$

I know, I'm a bad person:rolleyes:

Stars and Ultimate Bet are 2 that I know of

Mellor

I knew stars, but was hoping for a smaller site, more fish who don't know the game etc. Stars is a great place for learning, not what you want in other players
I wouldn't go near UB for obvious reasons.

anyothers?

jimmii

The Stars games are brilliant i've started playing a good bit of Razz and it seems to be something built deep in the poker players pschye that folding AAA is just not a thing to ever do. I have found that up to 2/4 it pretty much plays like play money games. Only play the 2-7NL games if you love variance though. Or else just love to gamble it is a great game to play to detilt shove all in every hand and just keeping drawing!!!
