Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail (26 Viewers)

We play that too, it’s called Matrix 3D or Tic-Tac-Toe. We’re currently playing Bisexual in the Middle.
Here’s that version, @davislane. You use any 2 cards in your hand against any 3-card straight line (including the 2 diagonals) on the board.

Each horizontal line on the board is dealt as the flop, turn and river, with normal pot limit betting after each.

so many combos on that "board" quad 4s are the fourth nuts!

Edit. So I think I initially interpreted that incorrectly. Can you only play one horizontal row as your community cards? or can you pick a card from each row?

How is it dealt? One column at a time? or all 3 rows at once?
 
No — you can only use one row (including diagonals) as your community cards. That’s the key. You can use a different row for your high and different one for your low. It’s dealt one row at a time, top to bottom, from the dealer’s perspective.

so 4 betting rounds? pre flop, flop (row 1), turn (row 2), river (row 3)?
 
Cleanup in process after everyone has left. 8 hours of play today, with a total used bank of $9520 in a $1/$1 mixed game. We played full rotations of :

- Scarney
- SHE-SHE
- God’s Game
- Matrix
- Matrix 3D
- SOHE 3-1-1 (Bisexual in the middle)
- SH
- Lazy Scrotum
- KRI-SHE

@WhiteMamba1646 ran great as usual. Fun times!

I have played a version of this game with my great uncles group for many years. They call it “bingo.”
Same concept as described except they assign a bet to each card and turn them one at a time. Each card is capped at 3 raises and its either bet or fold, no checking. The twist is they always turn the center card last but before doing so, a player has an opportunity to discard one from their hand and buy a replacement.

Also you must qualify for low with an 8 or better and you must qualify with a straight or better for high. It is a “chaser forcer” for sure. It seems your almost never out of it till you see the last card turned on board.

One more twist they play in the game also is that you can make a qualifying hand in hand that has the potential to beat the best low or high hand being played using the board. It’s a very sick sick game indeed. :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

The pictures below are from last week playing this game. It’s a pot builder for certain!

old men, old table, old chips
 
Same.

For me personally, I love bright, almost garishly covered chips, a very nice table with a custom logo, maybe even lights and usb ports for charging.

That would all look completely out of place here. Drop ceiling, wood paneling, fish and rifles on the wall. Perfect setup.

Looking at your stack in front of you and your Great Uncles stacks it seems like you're the only one not Playing Bingo. LOL

I have been playing a variation of this game since college which we always just called TicTacToe (PL). But players get 2 hole cards and three cards are turned over methodically at each of the three betting rounds so that no single row is revealed until the end. People initially thinks it’s a “crazy” game, but it’s actually pretty tight. Unless you make the middle card wild like we did in college which opens things up.

Matt correct me if I am wrong but is this not also a Declare game? You have to say going "hi" "low" or "both" but if you declare both you have to win them both outright, any tie on either half and you loose it all? So if you have the nut Ace/Duce low but if someone else also has it you get squat! Lol really makes it interesting!!
 
FWIW, there's lots of poker variants you can play with funny-shaped boards, and people are forever inventing new ones. Which is great! Krish's two versions sound well-suited to circus games.

Here's a very small list of some others that used to be played in home games, before NLHE, the largest game, ate all the rest: https://www.pagat.com/poker/variants/ironcross.html . Others include stars, the number 7, and a circle (six cards in a circle, use any three consecutive ones). You can have shapes where some directions have more cards than others - e.g. "Holy Cross" where there's three across and four down, if you use the four down you have to use all four, or "The Ring" where you can use the three across or the three down or the four outside cards that ring the center card. Abby's List has a few "funny-shaped boards" included as well: Criss-Cross Super Hold’em, Banco, Chowaha, and 3-2-1.

There's room for even more variety in things like:
  • How many and which board cards you reveal during each betting round (and how many betting rounds there are)
  • How many down cards you get dealt
  • How many down cards you are allowed / forced to use to make a hand
  • Whether any of the board positions are special, i.e. the center card in the cross is wild or dead
Go crazy!
 
I love different games like this but my memory is absolutely awful. I've probably learned 150 games in the last 2 decades and forgotten each of them 3x. I would need some nice written out rules so that I could misinterpret them and bet it all while I actually have nothing, just like usual.

Now that you mention the wild card- we used to play this in high school. I forget what we call it, but TicTacToe sounds right. Was a lot of fun- and that wild card always caused a ruckus.

Real poker has nothing to do with the chips, the table, or a swanky locale. This here is REAL poker!
