Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em Pit Game

[Draymond]

So I played all night the other night. I generally stay away from casinos these days, but I was bored. I had never seen a game quite like this.

Now I was not betting big, I generally only had only a couple hundred going in each bet at any given time, so not big stakes. This was better than true hold 'em poker since its so much faster and you did not have to deal with burnouts betting against you.

You sit down and have a non forced bet in trips (in my case it was usually $50) and two other bets below it (in my case $50 a piece, so $150 total on the table, these are forced antes).You get your two cards before the flop and you can get bet 4X against the dealer who is basically the community cards. On the flop, you can bet up to 2X upon showing of the cards. There is no turn, the next two cards get turned over at once and you can bet 1X your bet if you have not already done so.

Very fun game. I spent like 7 hours there, and I walked out with about $1,700. Not a lot I get it but fun times if you are looking for a Hold 'Em experience without the fucking mind numbing hassle of dealing with 8 knobs across from you.

Here is what I was playing (you have to suffer through the first 20 seconds of an infomercial from a mind numbing asshole to get to the game)

You can't beat the game unless you are hole carding. The smart casinos leave the dealers 2 cards in the shuffle master tray until they are ready to be exposed. The variance in this game is huge but it is fun to play.

So I'm supposed to just hole up in some Chinese restaurant waiting to find a dealer willing to cheat with me? That doesn't seem feasible to most people that aren't locals and just go to Vegas on vacation. I'd love to hear your stories though.

Were you playing at that new MGM in DC Draymond?

He was balling in Perth or the Caymans with 200k liquid and a lobster tail.

Hole carding is not cheating and the dealer is not in on it. You just need to find a weak dealer that lifts their 2 cards up high enough to see the bottom card. This used to happen all the time in the LA cardrooms but management finally figured it out. Limon, the annoying Jew from live at the bike, would take things a step further. He would find weak dealers and this announce his hand and get paid on it. He would say he would have a straight when he didn't have one, etc.
