Royal Flush
The group I play with pretty much sticks to .25/.50 to .50/1 HOPE format cash game. I've never played Dealers Choice.
Yesterday I was invited to a .50/1 Dealers Choice game being hosted by a friend (Mike32). I thought, why the hell not.
WOW.............I was introduced to some crazy shit.
Favorites:
4 card Cinci
5 card Cinci
PLO8 Full Monty
We also played Crazy Pineapple, Ludicrous Pineapple (4 cards, discard one after the flop, one after the turn), Push (which I opted out, still don't quite get, but the dealer was a dumbass), Screw your neighbor, 5 card/draw two, and probably a couple of others that I'm missing.
We also played the a few hands of the standard HL, PLO, PLO8 and PLO8 Double Board.
Really the only game I won at was PLO8 Full Monty. Played like PLO8. Two boards are dealt. The board is played with connectors/reach around/option. Just fucking insane. Biggest pot I won was at this game. I scooped with the nut low and second nut high, 200+ pot.
I took 300 with me. Planning on losing two hundred honestly. I pretty much played my game, even with some of the crazy shit. I cashed out at around 220. Only 55 of that was profit. Over all I got to meet/play with some new players. Got to try my hand at a few new games (some of which I would like to add to our mix) and actually make a couple of bucks.
One guy wanted to play acey duecy. A couple of other players said they wouldn't play (including me once the rules were explained to me).
I definitely think I'll be hosting a dealers choice game in the future.
