Thanks - I probably am overplaying too many hands. Maybe partly because in 727 it can be a long wait for the next deal?

So I'm finding 727 to be an expensive game to try to learn on the fly - any tips (or links) for a beginner trying to figure out the strategy? Thanks...

The books are much better than the show. Shetland, based on the Ann Cleeves books, is much better IMO...

I thought Rebus avoided associating with Glaswegians?

Cool - do they know DI Rebus?

As I understand it, "nut" is the term for the best possible hand that can be made from the board. Is there a term for the best possible opposing hand (if my hand contains a card that spoils the actual nut)? If not, any suggestions for one? Thanks...

We play mostly high-low games but IMO too many boards result in multiple perfect lows. And too many hands are unplayable without at least 2 to a perfect low. One alternative that can be more interesting is splitting with best 3-or-better straight flush (using all cards but must hold at least one...

I'm not that serious myself, but my HOA is if we want to play at our clubhouse. I suppose the PD is the only way to get the official facts...

Where can you go to find out exactly what is legal in your area? All I can find for Ohio is that no one can profit from running a game. I assume there could also be county or city restrictions, but I can't find anything on line anywhere...

Is there a help forum or thread? I'm looking for the right place to ask if the forum software has an option for reading threads in newest-to-oldest order?

Thanks! I'm still learning the correct terminology - would that be the 7 standard Omaha 5-card boards + 27 possible 3-card boards on the 9-card diagonal? In any case it will take some practice to get up to speed reading all the possible hands. With lots of new possibilities on the turn and...

You're right - it was in my printer list but apparently not set up. I reinstalled and it now works, but I have to rename from .pm to .pdf after printing so I must still be missing a setting. Or it may be because the pdf local port wasn't listed and I had to navigate to print-to-pdf through the...

Question on Banco - it states one card from each of the 3 piles if using the 9-card diagonal. The other 7 hands have one 3-card pile and 2 single cards. Am I correct to assume that more than one card from the 3-card pile can be used in those hands? (Otherwise the rule would simply be that only 1...

For some reason the PDF didn't give me a print-to-PDF option, but it did have an option for send-to-OneNote. That option doesn't have a 3x5 paper size so I set to Monarch Envelope in landscape. OneNote populated the page images pretty cleanly, but not being familiar with it, I used the...

Thanks for the help! I'm not very familiar with PDF's except a collection of user manuals that I reference occasionally but never edit or print. Might I suggest including this extremely useful info in the file when you have a chance?

I'm trying to get a few games into a Word 2016 doc to print out. I can open the 2-across PDF but Word gets an error converting the the single column version. Any ideas? In the 2-across version Word treats 2 games as a single image so I can't delete the game I don't want... Thanks...

Thanks for all the feedback - glad I'm not the only one who never heard of such a rule. The nickel-dime game would be a silly waste of time except that I've joined a higher-stakes group that plays the same bizarre games, so it's good practice for card reading, getting a feel for what's...

I'm definitely going to propose some of those - Omaha 3-2-1, criss-cross Omaha, Chowaha, Banco. They've come up with even more bizarre 2i+3c variations they call Bingo, Triple Vegas, Elevator, Pyramid, Slider, Stop Sign, KISS - so these should be no problem...

Thanks. Scottsdale, eh? Home of the infamous "Rob Singer"...

I'm really just curious if anyone has ever heard of a no check-raise policy also applying to a call-raise?
