Last night went to dinner for a friend's birthday. While waiting to go,we played a few rounds of poker. Usually, we play Texas Hold'em, but there were only three of us so play had to be loose. That sucks as there is no hiding your bad hands dealt.
Whenever in these situations, I panic because I hate folding on badhands and letting the other guy steal the blinds. It gets worse whenits just head-to-head because you must play because there is no more strategizing then. You can't wait for a good hand or the other guy isjust going to build his stack with the blinds you're giving up.
Anyway, we switched to Omaha Hold 'em. Four cards dealt with thecommunity cards as in Texas Hold 'em. But we played it wrong. It seemsyou have to play two cards from your hand. You can't play one and get four from the community cards! Wow. That'll make it even more interesting. Check the link for more rules.
Perhaps a game of high-low.
