Liar\'s Poker Poll
 

Just curious. I put the over/under of number of respondents at 12.

Re: Liar\'s Poker Poll
 

I'd have thought a lot of people would have read the Liar's Poker
book about Wall Street. That's where I heard about it from.

This might sound like a stupid question, but couldn't you just load your wallet with 'high ranking' notes, like 6 9's or whatever.

Re: Liar\'s Poker Poll
 

PS. In Poll, 9 people say they have played, and 16 say where, LOL.

My dad does keep "special" bills in his wallet that he will never spend with like 4 or 5 nines on one bill. He probably has about 10 bills like that. Because he always plays at work. He taught me and in the past couple of weeks, we have been trying to get our work to play but none are that big of gamblers.

Generally, when a game is started the players shuffle the bills, and draw them randomly. When they see weird bills they become suspicious.

My experience is that when players successfully run special bills into the game, they play them too aggressively and go broke with them.

I've always played ccr by pulling them out of a hat. It might work as liar's poker. Some cards would have an extra digit; a few would have the same first four digits...this might be worth looking in to. I smell +EV against opponents who think they are playing random numbers.

So should you run low-numbered bills into the game to take advantage of this?

It's not so much the value of a specific rank as it is the quantity of it. For example, a bill with seven 2s would be much more enticing for some players than a bill with five As. The problem with a bill having seven 2s is that it can entice its owner to become married to bidding 2s, and it can be easy to trick him into overbidding them.

(There may be an advantage to a bill with seven 2s, however, because it is void in eight other ranks.)

Actually, this option was intended as a jest.

How is only one person over 45 out of 43 respondents?

Years back I had a $10 bill with the serial number 00000060. Something like that. Held onto it for a while, but I had to spend it because I was even more busto than I am now. Can't remember the last time I noticed the serial numbers on bills, but of course now I'm going to check them all when I get paid on Friday....

That surprised me. Also, I learned the game in Texas but thought that the majority of players would be from the Midwest.

Re: Liar\'s Poker Poll
 

Well, I answered yes to the poll, having run across two games called this -- and then read the thread and found out this wasn't either of those games (I have heard of a game involving serial numbers and poker, but not quite the same as this one.)
