Yet another classic which emerges from the woodwork...like a young boy, dusting off a copy of "Catcher in the Rye". You guys will soon see the error of your ways.

Go ahead, laugh all you want. As long as I keep profitting at the tables, it's no sweat off my sack.

Why are you still playing .5/1?

How the F do you know what I'm playing?

For the idea to have any merit, the real question is which is less likely to form: 3 pair with 6 cards, or 3 of a kind with 5 cards. I don't know, and I don't know how to find it, but if three pair with 6 cards is more frequent than trips with 5 cards, then this idea doesn't have any merit at all.And, to implement this rule change, it adds a wrinkle that changes the rule that is the backbone for hold'em: the best 5 card hand with the 7 total cards you can use.Just my opinion.

wow, an honest post! It's been a while on this thread. Thanks Eck.So far I've come up with 1/249,900 as the odds of hitting trips in 5 cards. This sounds off but I don't know.And I came up with 1/4943.308 as the odds of hitting exactly 3 pair with 6 cards.So 3 of a kind in 5 cards is much less common than 3 pairs in 6 cards. You're about 25 times more likely to make 3 pairs in 6 cards as you are to make trips in 5 cards.Why does this matter?

*bump*, just for you zerospace

How about this?......double boarded holdem for these loose low limit games....that would also allow for a scooped pot. On almost every hand you'd probably have 2 players become big favorites, and you'd have 3 or 4 people drawing dead or near it..... I think the knuckleheads would love this because they'd feel like they had twice the chance on every hand....and if somehow A,A or A,K suited can somehow win both boards....you scoop it. If an online site would spread this I'd head right for it.

Many, many thanks Petoria! :-) Made my night start off well

that is the most ridiculous thing i've heard on this forum. you're saying that just because you get dealt a great starting hand, you deserve to win?!!? you might as well join the "poker is luck" brigade - you're totally taking away from the skill of playing your cards or even playing a bluff (albeit a ballsy one with 2 4 o) but even so, you can't just expect to win because you may have the best hand preflop. keep it real and maybe stick to 5-card or something where the cards you get dealt actually matter in the end!!

hehe.this reminds me of 2 hand orders that were discussed with some surprisingly serious voice-raising in the past at some home games.the ranking of flushes over straights: now if memory serves me right, i believe deep historians of the game have passed down this arguement that at one time straights did beat flushes due to the mathematical outs, where it got changed in time I've yet to hear when and where the change came about.of course in a 4 card drawing situation the flush has 9 possible cards where as the straight has 8 possibles, hence the straight is the harder hand to hit, so why does it rank lower than flushes?? It's still 9 vs. 8 no matter how you slice.

You're only considering the odds once you have already flopped the draw. But what are the chances of flopping those draws? That's what you're missing.BTW this thread is a riot.

Because there's no such thing as an "inside flush draw."Ice

The best night I ever had was when we decided to try this in my friendly home game. I won the biggest pot of my life when I had TJs and I flopped a straight draw on one table and a flush draw on the other. Somebody moved in, and I called like calling was going out of style. I made runner-runner straight on the flush board, and runner-runner flush on the straight board.Best. Idea. Ever.Ice

could we really stop bumping these. They're hilarious, I love em just as much as anyone, but they end up distracting everyone from legitimate posts. The first bump or so was great, the past few have just gotten annoying. THey're not as funny as they were at first, they're getting old

Nothing directed at you cdddc...its been bumped a few times, I was gonna say something the last time but the server or something locked up.

this seems to be another large thread that is getting bumped. From the same OP? Am I missing something?

this is pure genius, not the suggestion that 2 prs beats trips but the fact that you had a conservation about it w/ actual people for 5 FREAKING PAGES!!
