California Hold'em

Anyone ever try this. You're dealt five cards, and you can use any of them (all, none, whatever). Then comes you're traditional five card flop. Almost every hand results in a fullhouse/straight/flush. It's crazy and quite fun.

I have never heard of this but it sounds like something to try for kicks and giggles. I don't know if I would want to play it for money though. Anyway sometimes a new game is good just to clear the pallet.

doesnt stike me as particularly my kind of game but you never know. I think I would always just wish I was playing omaha. Still glad to know about it

It sounds quite interesting, but it must almost be impossible to be sure/confident about your hand... With ten cards, you can make a hell of a hand. AT LEAST A flush must be done every hand. Full houses and four of a kind must be quite frequent and even straight flushes. I hope you guys don't bet pre-flop, flop, turn and river, or it can cost you a big amount! Imagine having a hand like 55675, seeing the other five come on the flop but finally gettint beaten by a straight flush out of nowhere!!

yeah, i';d definately get way too paranoid in that game, and always fold my hand in fear of straight flushes and such...

It sounds interesting. I should try it with my friends some time. Most of the time you'll think you have a good hand, and get beat out by something much better.

yeah there are a lot of things to consider when playing this game but it can be fun for a pretourney warm-up for a home game or something.

way too many possibilities in that game, sounds like there is not alot of skill involved, so i probably wouldnt like it but it would be good for newbs or just with freinds .

If you're playing at a normal sized table with nine people, if you include the burn cards, the river is the 53rd card. I assume you'd play with less people or no burn cards?
