You have to give him credit for guts...

I was rather surprised that two players were betting into a pot w/o even the nut full house.
(and I had a blocker to that hand)

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Or a flush when you draw two

If you get a freeplay in the BB, but have no sensible draw, you can either chuck all five, or make an insensible draw.
Just another case of punishing limpers...

Badugi Strategy

Lesson 1: Draw to the Nuts

For the unenlightened, in Badugi you want the lowest hand containing 4 unique ranks, and 4 unique suits.
So the best hand is 4,3,2,A (Ace is always low)

once a cow has a taste for violence, it reverts. it becomes feral.

BB bets t1200, Hero raises to t7000, BB folds

Hero collected t5800, Hero shows Badugi 4,3,2,A

This was streamed live.
You can watch it here. Lesson 1 - Draw to the nuts!
I'm disappointed that the sound was muted during this section, because I said something like "all we need is the A♣:" Twitch mutes the audio if they think the background music might get them in copyright trouble.

Lowball double knockout

in NL 2-7 Single Draw, the goal is to make the lowest hand possible.
7,5,4,3,2 is the lowest because straights and flushes count against you.

In this hand I'm dealt 8,7,6,4,3 which is the 16th-best possible low hand.
UTG raises and draws 1
UTG+1 merely calls and also draws 1

beware the feral cow packs. they hunger.

First Draw: (t8,757) (3 players)
UTG discards 2, UTG+1 discards 1, Hero stands

Hero showed 4♦:7♦:8♠:3♥:6♥:, Lo: 8,7,6,4,3

Rare footage of an extremely aggressive NL5 player. Probably the most insane dude I've seen, playing 60% of the hands, 3bet of 25% over 6k hands.
It was by far my best hero call type of hand in years!

Bear in mind that these guy were drawing all the way.
To put this in perspective for high-hand poker players,
7,5,4,3,2 has 1020 combos that make this hand, and roughly compares to Kings full of Jacks and up 1024 combos)
7,6,4,3,2 has 1020 combos that make this hand, and roughly compares to Tens full of Fives
7,6,5,4,2 has 1020 combos that make this hand, and roughly compares to Sixes full of Jacks

The Bad & the Ugly

Spoiler

The trouble started when I got a free play, and discarded 3, receiving a nice 1-card draw ...
The problem is, I have straight, so I throw the highest card (perhaps better to throw throw the six) -- see what happens from there:
Dont have a cow, heres your converted hand

& by gar, it even holds!

There's an old saying that the best hand is no good unless someone else has one slightly worse.
How about two people having one slightly worse?

Well it's no Royal Flush, but...

It did give me a $5.50 ticket to the MicroMillions HORSE tournament...

(and a tip of the hat to Barry Greenstein)

HORSE is 5 Games
Hold'em which is played as fixed limit
Omaha Hi/Lo also fixed limit
Razz which is always FL. Razz is basically lowball Stud
Stud -- also always FL
E which for some reasons == Stud Hi/Lo

Moooooooooooraaawwwr.

It's A Miracle!

Well, not exactly, but close...

Cows play poker with cow chips
PokerStars Pot Limit 5 Card Draw ($0.24+$0.03) t125/t250 - 4 players

UTG: t10,594 (Hero)
Button: t5,642
SB: t9,750
BB: t34,014

Dealing Hands: (t375) Q♣:Q♦:A♥:J♥:A♣: (4 players)
Hero raises to t725, Button raises to t2550, 2 folds, Hero raises to t8025, Button calls t3092 and is all-in

First Draw: (t11,659) (2 players)
Hero discards 1, Button discards 3 <== he kept KK

Hero showed Q♣:Q♦:A♥:A♣:6♦:, two pair, Aces and Queens
Button showed K♦:K♣:K♥:K♠:2♦:, four of a kind, Kings
Button won t11659

He only needed 1 K to beat me.
There 2 kings in the 47 unknowns (from villain's point of view)
Leaving the two kings aside for a moment, there are 45 non-king unknowns, and there are 990 2-card combos in 45 cards.

So there are 1980 3-card combos that contain a king.

There are 16,215 3-card combos total, so his chance of getting 1 king are 12.2 percent or 7.2: 1 against.

If you're interested (and even if you're not), there is only 1 2-card combo of KK, and 45 other cards, so there are 45 3-card combos containing KK
leaving a 0.27% chance of hitting quads when drawing 3 -- or 359.3:1 against.

Strangely, I drew quads last week when drawing to AA.
What goes around, comes around

Cheers,
VS
