Cash Game The Authoritative 6 Card Dramaha Nomenclature Guide (1 Viewer)

[bergs]

I am Berg from the land of parched Earth and I am burdened with glorious purpose.

This will serve as the definitive guide for all 6 card Dramaha variants. We need consistency with what these games are named or anarchy will rule.

Route 64: 6 card Dramaha, best 4 card Badugi in hand
Route 65: 6 card Dramaha, best A-5 low (no qualifier) in hand
Route 67: 6 card Dramaha, best 2-7 lowball in hand
Route 68: 6 card Dramaha with best 8 or better low cards on hand
Route 600: 6 card Dramaha, closest to zero pips in hand (all 6 cards)
Route 621: 6 car Dramaha, closest to 21 in hand (see below)
Route 649: 6 card Dramaha, most pips in 5 card hand
Route 658: 6 card Dramaha, most pips on 6 card hand

In Route 621, all 6 cards play, so the best hand is a 6 card 21 (KKQT92 for example) followed by a 5 card 21, 4 card 21, 3 card 21, then a 6 card 20, 5 card 20, etc.

If you just want to play 6 card Dramaha with the best 5 card hand it’s just 6 card Dramaha.

@onerand - looking at you, kid.

There's no devilish version called Route 666?

That would need to be a draw of up to 6 cards on the flop and again on the turn.

So no, it doesn’t exist. Even the circus games can only fit so many clowns in a car.

I like it.
Just as suggestion , as I know you obviously asked for it as I read between the lines …the term ‘route’ always seemed like it implied 6 cards anyway,
So Route 49 would be 6 card variant of Drawmaha 49.

Agree with Matt. Proper name for my creation is Route 27, if you're deviating from the original reacharound route 69. Well done on setting a standard.

But I am partial to route 69. Route 68 is a game for rich women on diets, never to be played. Route 64 should be route sixty-dugi. Can't think of a good name for kansas city lowball (regular a-5) version. Caution against too many names starting with 6 due to confusion.

 

[MatB]

Yes.
Route = 6 cards

Drama (dugi ) (ha) etc. = 5 cards

 

[bergs]

So your proposal is:

Route 4: 6 card Badugaha
Route 5: 6 card A-5 lowball
Route 27: 6 card 2-7 lowball
Route 49: 6 card Dramaha 49
Route 21: 6 card Dramaha 21

…I could get behind this. Thoughts?

That's right. Except Route 4 name route sixty-dugi.

Need catchy name for a-5 lowball version. Defer to you and Matt.
