Favorite poker game that’s not so popular (1 Viewer)

[BPB]

What’s your favorite non NLH or PLO poker game?
Which poker game do you think should/will get more popular but it’s not currently

My answers: Razz and I don’t know why 2-7 single draw is not more widely played.

Ohama gets alot more action ... Is that what you want?

The question is what games are currently unpopular that you feel will become more popular. Plenty of folks play Omaha, especially around here.

Unfortunately, I love Razz but the general feeling is it's a dying game. It had been popular for quite a while, and even makes up one of the components of HORSE, but there are players who will sit out Razz rounds in a mix game just because they dislike it that much. A shame really....

I like stud8 even though I’m not good at it

 

[BamaT8ter]

I like Razz, Stud, and Stud8. Hard to find a game though.

Yeah I love razz too, played it as a tourney once in the home game and my players didn’t hate it lol. I need to start a dealer’s choice game!

Tough to find stud players these days, for some reason the players in my home game kinda like the stud games better than Omaha which I find surprising.

Love Badugi but don't see it around much, few online sites do it but never seen it in a casino. Can't see it getting major popular either.

No limit 2-7 single draw.

I don’t mind Omaha, I like PLO8 or O8 more.

No limit 2-7 single draw.

Great game.

why 2-7 single draw is not more widely played

We usually pay a couple of rounds of this on DC nights.

Anything LIMIT.

Stud8 is definitely under-played though. I lean towards playing it Mississippi style to get more hands in and knock out a round of betting.

5 card PLO two boards
5 card Courchevel two boards (not sure about name but it's derived from French ski resort)

I like it when everyone is f'ed up and , is it called indian poker, everyone turns up one card and places it on the forehead, everyone knows your card except you and you see their cards, always a good laugh.

I like Razz. Also Scarney (not sure if that's considered popular or not) and PLO High High.

 

[Zajac]

7 card stud

 

[BukNaked36]

Triple Holdem – 6 cards, make 3 hands, discard one on the flop and one on the turn

SOHE – 6 cards - One holdem hand and one Omaha hand for split pot

Fun games to break it up for an orbit

 

[Chawks45]

Kicking it back old school: Follow the Queen in 7-card stud.

Badugi is a blast & all of you that said Razz . . . you're pure sickos.

PLO High High.

Another good one.

Nice, need to do that in my next game!

How does that work?

I once entered Razz tournament.... Did not even know the name... I was winning until goggled rules...

Five card stud. Simple enough that it lends itself well to serious drinking; tough enough that it's hard to be an extremely consistent winner.

If you can't master five card stud, you really shouldn't be playing any of those other games.

As to draw poker, you might as well be playing acey-deucy...

 

[trigs]

How does that work?

PLO High High is a split pot game. One half of the pot goes to the normal best high omaha hand (using exactly two hole cards). For the second half of the pot, you have to use the other two hole cards in your hand for the second high hand. It's fun because hands like AAAA are actually playable

That’s pretty interesting actually
