Default Billabong...

Billabong? Ever play it? One of the faves on Wednesday's for dealer's choice. Its a bit like Omaha. You start with 4 cards but you HAVE to use 3 cards in your hand with 2 of the 5 on the community. I remember I had AAAQ in my hand and the on the flop was QQ5... I still wet myself... of course I won the hand but... whatcha think? Like, dislike?

It is a lot like omaha but i have never really liked omaha. i am still a major big fan of holdem. i have played all the other games but never really got into stud or omaha. billabong sounds interesting though. has anyone every played Razz. i saw it on the WSOP and then i found a play money table for Razz at Planet Poker and i really got into it. i thought it was a lot of fun but now i cant find another razz table. does anyone know where i could find one online?

i would probably like billabong because a lot of the times (or at least it seems like a lot of times) i get 3 of a kind in my hole cards and i almost always fold them because there are horrible odds to get a set on those. with billabong i could play those.

WoW this sounds like a hit. I like it. Same as Omaha but you can use 3 cards, best poker game ive heard of yet. This should be a wsop event. I need to try this.

I would definitely play this game. But where can you play it? Is it on one of the poker sites? Also, I have played Razz before. I liked it a lot especially when I got A through 5 as my hand. But I don't play it very often. I usually play holdem or stud.

I don't think its online. I play it all the time on World Championship Poker on Playstation 2. We also play it at my house for my poker nights. I really think it should be played in a casino.

Yeah it would bring a few people. But it could be like OMaha and stop being played in casinos. Could be played.

Very rare you start Billabong... even Omaha with 3 of a kind. If you do get that though, you are in great shape in Billbong. Any pair... you got a boat. That happened to me... once! It was great.

If Billabong was ever a WSOP event. I'll be there in a heartbeat and you will looking at a WSOP Bracelet holder. I love Billabong and I think I will do well in a event.
