How many are dealt in to badacey? Six max?

 

[FDLmold]

You were not great at badacey, but your opponents were much worse. That's all it takes in mixed poker, just find the game with the biggest skill gap, even if you stink at it.

Yeah it's supposed to be 6-max, sometimes we had 7 or 8 players at the table and we'd try to sit someone out to make it workable but a LOT of the games because people just don't fold we'd have to have the dealer reshuffle parts of the deck to continue the draws.

It was easier last week because we had two tables of 6 and 5 respectively so it worked better, but even then............TEXAS PLAYERS DON'T FUCKING FOLD! And they're all in there drawing 3 everytime lol so it was a strain to get through some hands for sure.

But yeah, I was definitely rusty as hell, haven't played mixed games in years, but glad I was able to go through the footage and catch myself and call myself out on the fuckups so I can be better prepared.

I enjoyed this vlog a lot especially learning these games and hearing your views of strategy was interesting. No one else on you tube is doing mixed game content like this. More please!!

Never played Archie with community cards before... sounds interesting.

It was slow as hell with everyone staing in and draeing 3 lol

 

[suchj0sh]

So this Archie variant is structured with betting rounds on all draws, and an additional round after the final community card is dealt?

Yes, after the third draw we have a round of betting, THEN the 2nd community card is revealed and we bet again.

Sometimes they do it with just 1 community card at the start.

 

[Moxie Mike]

That's perfect... we're routinely 6-7 in on the first draw anyhow

Get ready for some of the stupidest poker you’ve ever seen. It’s worse than the PLO tourneys, if that’s even possible! Don’t take me wrong, it’s poker and I’d be playing right now if I was there, but you are going to be like WTF? About every other hand

I hope so, that would be a great table

Not when you get pushed off a four card k high Badugi by someone with two pair…..

 

[Anthony Martino]

Lost a big one before break, had a pat 9, got drawn put by an 8. Just a bit under starting at first break

 

[Anthony Martino]

Made my stand with A27 draw, he made a 6, we out

Hmm. If you have one or two guys like that at the table, you can probably print money. But if everybody is playing like that, that must be maddening.

Had an Asian on my left playing the WSOP Badugi event, I'd raise, he'd 3-bet me and then draw 2

But I just couldn't beat him. If I started with A25 I'd whiff and he'd show up with Q987 badugi drawing 2, it was maddening too lol

That is +EV, but will send your variance through the roof.

I ran really good early when blinds didn't matter much. But just never got much going in the middle stages

All good. You have a $300 shit show to play where you could maybe have $1 b-b-b-b-billion in chips at the end.
