High-High Split Poker (1 Viewer)

I actually had a reason for this thread aside from random conversation.

I'm writing another book. I actually started it way back when I wrote SOHE, but I had to put it on the back burner for a while. I've picked up on it again lately and made decent progress. The title? Drawmaha, baby. I plan/hope to have it finished by the end of this year or early next year.

When I first conceptualized all of this, my intention was to write three books for three different circus games, and the games that stood out to me as good choices—as they don't have any kind of literature in print—were the high-high split variants. Plenty of books cover high-low, high-only, and low-only games, but no one has really gotten into high-high. Plus, I fucking love SOHE and Drawmaha.

I'm having a hard time deciding on a third game, though. I have one in mind (Double Board PLO), but I haven't actually started writing it. What do y'all think?

+1 for Double Board PLO - and I'd buy both. Enjoyed your first book. Helped me see why I donked off so many buy-ins on SOHE.

No w in Dramaha.

No w in Dramaha.

I've seen it both ways. It's "Dramaha" in Abby's cards, right?

One reason I chose it as the next game is that I heard it got a little cash-game action at the WSOP in recent years. I think I'll have to go with whatever spelling has been used in public cardrooms. Do you happen to know?

Dramaha pulls up 84,300 Google hits. Drawmaha has 8,480 hits.

"Dramaha poker" pulls up 1,620 hits, including BARGE and Wikipedia (vs 793).

This is exactly why I used the Dramaha spelling in my cards.

Yeah, I just nosed around a little myself, and I think I'm going to be doing some find-and-replacing in my book.
