Scarney Player Gets Mad (3 Viewers)

Tried Scrotum first. We hated that. I wanted to rage quit... but host.

I enjoy Scrotum as a curiosity.* I think I've dealt just a hand or two with my current crew, but double board. I feel like it's one of those games that would be more interesting over several orbits.

Spoiler: *

Go ahead, add it to the no-context thread.

I was playing Scarney once late in a session and I was a little buzzed and a little tired. The dealer did every street with the discards shown first except the last street. I was focused on my full house and did not discard my meaningless 4 on the last street. I was pretty pissed at myself and definitely ready to be done with poker for the night. I should add this was on me, not the dealer but consistent dealing is probably super important in this game.

The silver lining is @WedgeRock was my opponent who scooped the pot with low points since my hand was dead. He insisted on returning my money but we decided to donate it to a friend’s local charity instead!

Not changing the subject, but the scenario where someone thinks they have a full house in Omaha by using three cards from their hand is much more common. And nobody gives those guys a break at all. It’s the same principle.

@Eriks played poker Internationally and sat out of every orbit of Scarney. Does that count??

Story checks out. Scarney can be a fun game, but it's not poker.

If Scarney isn't poker, then neither is Omaha 8.

I like the idea of all in players being immune from the fouled hand rule once action is complete.

I don't recall ever fouling and taking a @Schmendr1ck in a big Scarney pot, but I do recall being the recipient of a pot that I shouldn't have scooped twice: once against @k9dr and once against @Leonard. Both times I felt awful, and both times they were super graceful about it.

You should have discarded the 4
