I'm in! You just have to ensure one or two 'experts' are at each table!
I’ll need the address when you get the chance
Reserves are now all caught up to start the week off. I've chatted with a couple people that have concerns about the slowdown in play due to switching games, so I've gotten a few suggestions on how to keep things moving...

1) Learn the games beforehand - We won't be taking away from playing time to teach games. If you're not sure about a game, fold for a few hands and ask questions to those who are not in a hand.
2) Let the cards speak - Especially for Omaha, but really for any game, reveal your ENTIRE hand at showdown (or muck) and announce the hand you think you have (then be slightly embarrassed when others correct it for you) For the lowball games, the way to announce games are "7-6 low", or "9-8-4-low". If you don't know what this means, see Item #1
3) One player tracks - Nominate one player to keep track of the number of hands played (I'll have separate chips to track this) and to announce when games change.
4) One set of blinds - This is one that I'm playing with and not set in stone. In traditional 8-game there are 3 sets of blinds for the various games. I *may* switch this to only have a single blind structure to reduce complexity.

Any other thoughts/recommendations from others?

Really excited for this one!!


5 card draw, I assume is single draw?

2-7 triple draw is a limit game, not pot limit. If you want 7 games, you could add 5 card Omaha

Drop the triple draw and I don't see why you can't use a single set of blinds.

Antes do not count as part of the pot preflop in pot limit games.

Fixed Limit 2-7 Triple Draw


The most common form of 2-7 Triple Draw uses the fixed limit betting format.

Just because some website wrote it doesn't mean anyone plays it that way.
We’re not going to argue semantics again are we?
