I've been watching Phil Ivey, David Benyamine, Gus Hansen and other pros play PLO High 200/400 blinds on Full Tilt allot lately. It seems to be the game of choice for high stakes. I've been playing it myself and I love it, especially when you have 89JQ and the flop is 7TK and you need a 6,8,9,J,Q or A to make a straight!!!!
My twisted mind came up with an idea that would make this sick drawing game even sicker!! an Ocean card( this is a 6th community for those of you who haven't heard this expression )!!! Flop, turn, river ocean!!! Full houses Flushes and straights would dominate the game , you would basically be gambling on the flop as to who has the biggest draw, a set would merely be a "full house draw" because you can't win if you don't improve. If you flopped the nut flush draw you'd make it about 48% of the time. If you flopped a set you'd make a full house about 56% of the time. You would take so many bad beats it would make your head spin, you'd have to wonder if it really was a bad beat or were you the underdog on the flop?? It would be the kind of game that would give a huge advantage to a good player because the drawing odds would be so complex.
Could you Imagine a board like 3h 4h 5h Ts Js Qs ???? 6 possible straights and 2 possible flushes!!!!!!
The only question now is what do we name this sick twisted new game??? Any Ideas???

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Just make all 5 & T wild, add the lowest card in your hand and all cards of the same rank.
5-of-a-kind Ks are for suckers
