Just as an example here's a hand I just observed..... But not uncommon as far as how the gameplay is. My general strategy in these types of games has more or less been nut peddling...Unfortunately getting good hands AND hitting flops hard isn't really a frequent occurance. I don't know if I just need to call a littlemore liberally or what... But in this example I would have a tough time betting or calling here on a paired board... With anything other than a set or boat.

Especially since people will play anything...... It reminds me a lot of the early days of LHE.... Which I like, however I have a tough time with this game. I'm coming from a background where I had to learn to "not fear monsters in the closet".... To now having to worry about every concieveable draw, 2 pair, set, that I can be up against. Only here they're more likely to be real....Except shorthanded they're not supposed to be as common So far I seem to suck at figuring out which is which
