Irish poker

While I was playing at Full Tilt for my first game in the freeroll club here the $50 freeroll was for a game called Irish poker.
Here is a description.
Irish poker[1] is a variation of Texas Hold 'em. Each player is dealt four cards before the flop. After the betting round on the flop is completed each player must discard two cards. Then the turn and river are dealt. Each player uses both hole cards along with the board to construct a hand, like in Texas hold 'em.

full tilt poker, one of the world's biggest online poker rooms, recently added Irish Poker to their repertoire.[2]

Has anyone else ever heard of this or played. It was kinda fun but I went out of that fast too.
Poker is not my forte.

Nope never even heard of it and I'm from ireland :laugh: Sounds fun tho! I must check it out!

Sounds very interesting. have never heard of this variation. Wonder if other USA friendly sites will add this to there games.

If it goes over at Full Tilt it is almost a sure thing that poker stars will add it too.

It's interesting. I also have Irish in me and never heard of it before playing it.

Never played, but it sounds interesting. Havent played at full tilt in ages. That was the first site that I won a significant amount of money. I really loved playing there until black friday!!

So the rules like a modified and combine version of Holdem and Omaha?
