Default 52 Card Pickup

You guys ever play this? Are there any sites that spread it? I used to be really good.

Unfortunately, like 5-card stud, 52 pickup is a game where an expert player will quickly bankrupt a lesser player. Thus most sites offer only the 104-card variation.

While we're on the subject, how do you alter your play when the jokers are included?

I don't think I've seen it spread online, but my younger brother played a HU 104 card variation against Moneymaker in NOLA.

This is not a game for the faint hearted at a B&M.

I was damn close to turning pro in this game, until my unfortunate loss of an index finger in a nose-picking accident derailed my dream.

I was floored by the utter confrontation with randomness in this game.
