    Cash Game The Wild World of Scarney

    How does the pot split? In thirds? Or does it just turn into Double Board Hold'em without the Scarney points component?

    OmaJack - What's Your Problem With It?

    The two mechanics of Shuffle Derailment that are significant departures from vanilla Derailment are: Players get to see some of the cards that will later become part of a shared board. Ordinarily exposed cards mean a dealing irregularity or even a misdeal. It's strange for this to be a feature...

    OmaJack - What's Your Problem With It?

    It’s this, and as simple as players building the board. In this, player tendencies matter more than any other game/construct/mechanism. Players newer to the game at an extreme disadvantage compared to those not, more so than any other game/construct/mechanism. Players building the board. In...

    OmaJack - What's Your Problem With It?

    I can understand the sentiment of the last line but the cards are not exposed IMO. I understand this operates in a fashion mostly dissimilar to a triple draw type game but the extra information of the number of cards to be shuffled add an element of information that makes the game intriguing to...

    Any special rules if you discard all cards? What if you only have 1 card left, can you not play the Omaha part of the pot? Pot is split half low half high (which is then further chopped between the boards) or if two boards then 1/3 each?

    Isn't your discussion of derailment a derailment in itself? Shouldn't you have chosen a subforum to bring this up and maybe attached a link to this thread in your discussion as an example? I'm not here to start wars and I guarantee everyone who took this thread off the rails knew I wouldn't be...

    Depends if you’re playing Canadian or Icelandic. If one card then you can play 4 on the board. Although we didn’t get to the situation where one card plays higher than a two card hand on one of the derailment boards. Split between low and remaining high board(s).

    Dealer's choice! What is and isn't allowed

    I can't believe no one has said @Angie99 or @Machine cards... if it's in the cards... it's allowed! Plus anything that @bergs or @k9dr think up after being drunk! For example I was told "Derailment" was outlawed long ago at meet ups. Rob introduces that shit to us in Florida and the past 2...

    @MatB @bergs do you play derailment with 4 hole cards or 5 hole cards? with 5 hole cards you’d have to go to 6 players max dealing 3 boards And which variation do you like best if all 3 rivers have same value: 1) leave all boards (split pot 3 ways) 2) clear all boards (play cards in hand, 5...

    Scarney - Icelandic or not?

    You pretty much just described Derailment. Do everything right and BOOM ! Then chances of 'bluffing' after your hand gets demolished on a whim of a river card are almost zero in that game. So its pretty much dead. Take your licks. you had a lone Ace till the river and over played it. You...
