The Lodge Card Club will host the The Wacky Weekend of Poker

[rhoudini]

Poker is a strategy game, we all know that. But it is also a really fun game too! Everyday people try to improve and see good results, and sometimes what they need to get that fun feeling again is a little twist in some games, making them unpredictable even to the most experienced players. With some crazy rules, everyone seems to have equal chances both of winning and having fun! This seems to be the proposal of The Lodge Card Club, who is offering a weekend full of crazy games, like:

• Deuces Wild: traditional NLH, but deuces are wild cards!
• Fun Under the Gun: The first player to act picks 4 cards.
• Forced Tag Team: partners are chosen at random.
• Nit Game: the last player to win a hand pays the "nit tax".
• No Checking NLH: players don't have the option to check.
• Blood River: if the river is a red card, a 6th street is dealt.

And many other (apparently) fun events!

More details can be found on the Lodge Card Club's website.

What do you think about events like this? Should they happen more often? Would you be willing to attend an event like this?

I saw this in the email. It looks like the gambling bug is alive and well in the area. I'm sure they'll get plenty of action before the spring mayhem series. The "blood river" sounds kinda neato. If a red card hits the river a sixth street is dealt. Crazy. I'm surprised they don't have that as a fixed game in Austin, ya know, because of 6th street?
