OK, SO WHILE WE ARE WAITING for Iceman to give me my own section, please feel free to ask of me any questions on any of the more obscure games. I have played EVERY game that there is, and can discuss any game, very intelligently.

Draw, Lowball, triple draw, razz, stud stud hi low pineapple, hi low hold em, you name it.


I like this site, and may very well drop ALL others.

Adam --

What would you say about a NL home game with 4 regular players, $1/$2 blinds, and no maximum buyin (typical stack is $70-$100).

The four players are one who I have no read on, a tight/aggressive player who bluffs, a player who is a little loose-passive preflop but rocklike postflop, and a very aggressive creative intelligent player.

How much should I buy in for, where would I want to sit if I could choose everyone's places, and what should my basic strategy be? How would all of this change if there was a dollar ante instead of the other blind structure?

I've never played any kind of Hi/Lo game, what's the jist of hi/lo hold'em? is 2-3 playable?
Any website host this type of hold'em?

Hi-Low Hold'em sounds ridiculous. I don't think I've ever seen an online casino or a live casino spread it.

Anyway, what kind of experience do you have playing Pineapple ATE? A lot of my poker budies have played it and say it's a lot of fun. It looks like an interesting game, is it worth giving a try? I know UB has it, any other site that offers it?

OK, I WOULD SIT IN THIS ORDER. CREATIVE PLAYER, BLUFFER, YOU POST FLOP ROCK. I WOULD BUY IN FOR WHATEVER AMOUNT THE WORST PLAYER HAS, or subsequently builds up to. The change of 1 buck ante, compared to 1 2 blinds, would not be sufficently different, to change play significantly.

The jist of Hi low hold em is: Consider it high only, except for very good low hands. Suddenly, A2 and A3 are playable hands. But, no 2 3 is CERtainly NOT playable. That's the BIG sucker trap, in hi low hold em, having an Ace low hand, Scoop the non ace, non straight low hand.

suited connectors, like 67 78 89 are completely unplayable, as when you make a straight, someone will usually make a low.

To my knowledge, this game is not spread anymore. Maybe some rare place, but not enough to make a detailed description of how to play the game.

I have played MUCH pineapple iN ALL forms: I did not know that UB has it, as my backer took all the money off there, over a year ago afer what ANNIE DUKE, so WRONGLY did to us)

But, they also have it, on Paridise (although only 1-2)

If the discard is after the betting action, ATE can highly recommend the game. But, if you must discard BEFORE the betting, than the skill is brought WAY down, and then I don't recommend that game at all



A few tips, for Crazy Pineapple:

Remember that there are NO , NO , NO superpowerful hands, before the flop Sure, AA2 is a good hand, but NOT great. The nessesity of discarding, MAKES NO HAND, SUPERPOWERFUL.

So, don't go apepoop, before the flop, with any hand.

When discard is done after the betting, A23 ALL OF THE SAME SUIT , is actually a better hand in a loose game, than AA2


sORRY I COULD NOT GIVE INDIVIDUAL ANSWERS but there were more, and more detailed qquestions than I expected
