how is it that triple draw has such frustratingly high variance yet is so fun to play? <font color="blue"> the same reason all the crazy gamboolers want to play it and the mixed games are so juicy, it's an action game with a lot of luck, and degenerates get off on that stuff. It's unlike holdem so its a great change of pace, but there is definitely skill to it, and heads up you can just cut through a player who doesn't understand the game.</font>
please describe a concept from triple draw (or some other "non-standard" game) that illuminated or clarified something about your limit hold 'em game. <font color="blue"> Hmm, not sure if it applies directly to limit holdem, but concepts from other games make your poker theory stronger in general. For instance, in triple draw, if you both draw one on the last draw and you are first to act, your decision to check or bet and subsequent decisions depending on what your opponent does comes entirely from poker theory and if you have no read, game theory. This strengthened my understanding of what to do in river situations in limit holdem from time to time, when I have a marginal hand it might be best to bet against a player who will call with worse or fold better, but check against a player who will bluff too often and never fold a better hand. Sort of a contrived example but for me, poker theory isn't something I spell out explicitly all the time, but just gives me intuition for dealing with unfamiliar situations. Strengthening that poker theory strengthens my intuition and comfort regardless of the game.</font>

recently I learned Badeucey which is a 5 card draw game with three drawing rounds (triple draw) where the pot is split between the best 2-7 triple draw lowball hand and the best 4 card badugi hand where the nut badugi is 2345 rainbow.

[censored] sick. where did you run into this game? is the action as crazy as i think it would be? <font color="blue"> I learned it from 2+2er Newhizzle actually. He was playing it 400/800 if I remember right, but we played it at 4/8 in a homegame so yeah there was a lot of action [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] </font>
