Re: Bored now. Invent a novel poker variant.
This idea could be expanded to larger hands. In 10-card lowball ranked using "true inversion" like this,
2345789TQK (KQT98-high) with no flushes is the nuts.
With more cards, avoiding a flush probably becomes part of the drawing strategy. Keeping pairs to avoid a straight is probably necessary as well.
I like it--in fact, it may well be ingenious. This might have a future as a heads-up game. I'm putting it on my "to-do" list: TCTDSB.
