1 Hand Lottery at Carlos Poker

#1 22-10-2006, 8:35 PM

I was going to play a SNG when I saw the "1 Hand Lottery" tables. The name said it all, but I was very curious and I wanted to know how did they work, so I sat at a $1 + 0.05 table (the maximum buy in for those tables is $20+0.4).
Another chilean sat in, and then all we had to do was to watch our hands and the community cards being dealt (btw before getting our hands we got dealt one card to see which was dealer).

I found it funny and exciting, so I decided to play another one and this time I beat a swedish with a nice river suckout.

Unfortunately the 1 hand lottery tables are only heads up. I imagine how crazy it would be a 6 or 9 players SNG like that.

I know that those tables are -EV and I shouldn´t play them again, but they are great if you´re bored and want to gamble.

ps: If you´re wondering why I´m playing at that site, it´s because Carlos Poker is the "official" chilean poker site. The company that owns the casinos in Chile sets up some satelittes to the local casino tournaments (the biggest casino in Chile is in my city), so I´m trying to build a bankroll there and hopefully I´ll qualify for a big live tournament the next year.

Kinda like playing 'High Card' just a little more excitement. They should have a 9 player SnG. That would entice a lot of gamblers.

It may be short term fun but it's not poker.
