Default $42 pot at 1/2 draw

I'm posting this because, first, we need some hands here other than hold 'em from time to time, and second, well, you try getting a pot this big heading to the turn in 1/2 LHE. Since there are only two betting rounds in draw, you'd better well appreciate it, dammit.

It's a 5-handed game and I'm dealt QQ66x UTG. I raise, CO calls, maniac button who made it three bets with a single pair two hands before makes it 3 bets. SB caps, probably knowing full well the button is full of it, and wants to isolate. BB folds, I call, UTG calls.

Four to the draw and a pot of $17.

I draw one and Jumanji!!!! I catch a Q! UTG draws one. Button raps pat, SB draws one.

SB checks, I bet out, UTG+1 raises, button 3-bets and is now all in. SB folds and I cap. UTG+1 calls and flips over 9s full. Button has an ace-high flush.

Draw can be dull as hell at times, but you can't beat the low variance and the endless parade of fish who just want to play $10 or $20 to see what it's like.

Actually, it was at Paradise.

I would love to see more variations of draw online. I would rather see it first become a WSOP event.

Deuces wild at WSOP on TV would be the pwn.
