Card Night 24-Mar-2011

Jeff introduced a new game called Olestra.  It plays like Omaha, with the following twists:

  • It is hi-lo declare, meaning that the 8-high qualification for low does not exist.
  • Following each betting round (before the flop, turn, and river are dealt), each player must turn one of his hole cards up.

So just before showdown, and before players declare which way they’re going, players can see three of the four hole cards of each of their opponents.

It was a pretty interesting game.  It was much easier to eliminate opponents’ possible hands than traditional Omaha.

Says Jeff:

“Olestra.  Everything comes out.”
