I played this game for the first time in a $1/$2 limit dealer's choice home game last night. The game is identical to limit holdem except each player is dealt 3 cards face down, one of which is discarded on the flop after betting closes, and the pot is split between the best high and the best low hand, where a low hand is any 5 unpaired cards 8 or lower.
The table is clueless about most forms of poker, and this is the first time any of us have played this game.
3 people limp in, I raise with A, 2, 3 rainbow on the button, SB calls and the BB reraises. It folds to me, I call and the SB also calls. Flop is A, 5, T rainbow, SB checks, BB bets, I call, SB calls.
Which card do you discard? I already have an opinion on this, but I'm curious what others think and why.

Assuming most players are holdem players I think someone probably has your A outkicked, I would probably discard the A

I just heard about Pineapple Poker the other day and know the order of play and that is about it.
I would discard the T.
You have a pair of Aces which is good and you are leaving the option of making a low straight or perhaps just the lowest hand of unpaired cards.

Lol at a pair of aces being good in pineapple and discarding a card from the flop. And for bumping a 3 year old thread

Not sure why the pair of aces is no good, but as I say I really don't know much about it. It was the name that caught my eye in the first place.
As for bumping the three-year-old thread, I didn't notice that. But surely that is still better than starting a new one when it isn't really all that important.

you cant discard the T since the T is a flop card and hero is holding A23.
Keeping the A gives you TPNK which is rarely good in this game, and you denying yourself the option of making a good low

You are right, I got the hole cards and flop mixed up.
Perhaps I'll give Pineapple a miss for a while.
