Nico_Ban 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Not to stoke the ire of all those who say "You should never play Krablar. Its just stupid. Anybody who ever wins when they start with an inferior hand or wants to break the monotony and have some fun every once in a while is a shitty player. Whaaa Whaaa"But the problem was you played it out of position. Only raise from position where you think you can get heads up and get lucky or outplay one person. But from 2nd position you should definitely just throw it away. Hard shell variety or not, Krablar does suck out of position. Link to post Share on other sites

vonteego3 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Talk of Krablar has gone the way of Crystal Pepsi... cute at first, but enough to make one cringe after a few tastes. It's time to lay the Krablar to rest... cure it, kill it, eat it, select your own cliche... but how about we make this the last mention of it? Link to post Share on other sites
Sick Daddy 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I believe the biggest value of Krablar is advertising.I do not play the Krablar, but I have a few hands that I like to toss in every once in awhile to mix up my game and keep opponents on their toes and guessing.
