To prep for SCOOP, George takes a look at games that are rarely played outside of specialized events in order to get a primer for these tournaments.

Hi George,

Nice Video!

I think on the Tc5h3d2h Hand his thought process is more that you (almost) never have a boat on the river after checking back the turn. (especially when he has the Th). So you should have way more low flush combos, than boat/quad combos. And so as both of your ranges are kind of capped and he knows that you are thinking player, he might hope to get bluff catched by some flushes or even trips?

Very nice video thanks!

I have tried this game in the past, and in the very small experience i had, people were pushing very often, both preflop and postflop, even in very small pots.
This did discourage me to play the no limit version of it afterwards, since I couldnt understand why it would make sense to Push all the time, very few decisions post flop other than call or fold.
Maybe the stake was too low, but still 100$ or 200$ buy-in, i think its enough when trying to learn a new game.
After watching your vid, I can guess the reason for that is that hand equities runs very close but I still dont get why one should be pushing in such small pots.
I found these few hands in my database, as examples of what Im talking about.

hand 1

hand 2

hand 3

In future if possible I would like to see some games which are part of mixed 8 games, such as Stud hi, Stud Hi low, or Razz! Thanks

Your comment about being told that you overvalue low hands was very interesting....I always thought that playing a hand without an A2 preferably suited would have to involve a super strong high hand that would have a really good chance to win the high end yet there is always a high pot and not always a low pot. The high hand probably has to be less strong than Omaha hi because so many people are playing strong low potential hands. I actually just played a KK88 hand by mistake in an 08 MTT because the table popped up and I forgot that I had registered for it and thought it was Omaha Hi. I won a huge pot lol. I may rethink my PF hand selection and widen it. The HH in this vid were excellent

Great video good style ( not just the hair). If you could have the odds calculator pre programmed with all the calculations you would like to make it might make it a better IMO.

A 5 card draw/badugi/seven stud video would be great.

Hi George. I really don't understand last hand, what was reason to bet turn in 4-way pot ? You blocking A3xx combos pretty nice, so, in limped pot most probably at least one player have a 2 in his cards. It can be weak 2, like 2645 which he does not want to bet against 3 players but definitely not going to fold. A2xx combos would re-raise you almost always. Sometimes there can be KKxx or QQxx combos which would just call. So, i really don't understand what was reason to bet turn in this hand...

with 2 5 10 3 at 39 min i disagree and i like the opponents bet on the river. I think he is going to have the best hand very very often since you are probably betting KKxx, 66xx, 36xx, K3xx, on the turn to not give the opponent a free river with some low draws. I think the only boat you have here is 310xx which you do have but he also has a 10 in his hand so you will have that hand very rarely. i know this video is 2 years old and you most likely wont reply but i still wanted to comment just in case.
