Which game that hasn’t been played would you rather see played? ---

They’ve already done Hold’em and Omaha. If they’re going to to Stud why not just do all the HORSE games. ---

agreed. HORSE is where you make your money if you are middle of the road like me. i mean you might be lightening when it comes to hold 'em but when it gets to razz and low ball stud you are in my wheelhouse. the strategy is to let the hold 'em players win a touch at their game. then clean their clocks when it comes to the serious betting games. i mean heads up against ivey or helmuth in hold 'em and i kind of fish out of water. but get me to razz. ---

Aren’t razz and low-ball 7-stud the same thing? I don’t care much for razz—I find it really mechanical—but, I do like playing Stud/8. Omaha’s a lot of fun too: limit, PLO, and /8. One of the funniest parts of playing multi-game online is when someone inevitably forgets which game is going on, confusing Razz for Stud/8, that sort of thing. It’s happened to me more than a few times. When HORSE is played in most tournaments, are all of the games limit? Edit: Oh, and I voted Stud, just because it’d take too long in a 1 or 2 hour program to demonstrate all 4 “new” games to a TV audience. (I guess 5 new games, since I find limit hold 'em to play quite a bit differently than no limit hold 'em.) ---

How HORSE would work: each letter on a different night. ---

This might be a good place to ask: Are there any online poker sites available to US citizens anymore? I saw FullTilt and that other one get wallpapered by the bureau; PartyPoker seems the only one around anymore but I don’t know if it’s trustable. And I’m mostly talking about fake money; I do pretty well at Texas Hold’Em but obviously that is the noob game these days. Mostly looking to get in on other games and learning the ropes there. Party Poker has those, but…anyone have an opinion, yeah or nay? ---

I just wish that they had more episodes of PAD. it is like 5 weeks of repeats for every week of new shows. and if they have to repeat them, repeat the ones from the earlier seasons instead of the current season. ---

I will look into that 🙂 ETA: AHA, figured out why I couldn’t get in before. I was a dummy and clicked the first Pokerstars link…which is Canadian. Doh! Thanks for the heads up so I that I could try again and recognize my mistake. ---

stud or horse would never be shown on PAD, there just isn’t the interest from the public ---
