We soon progressed from Hi to Hi-Lo (eights or better), and now I too love me some Hi-Lo.  More fun than Omaha Hi.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;We've also dabbled in a game called SOHE, an acronym for Simultaneous Omaha and Hold'Em.  You're dealt six cards and choose your Omaha and Hold'em hands before the flop.  (As in Hi-Lo you can scoop, but the Omaha is Hi only so the pot is halved, not quartered or thirded.)  Take some Dramamine before getting on that ride.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Your poker story about Jose Canseco was too funny.  I look forward to hearing more tales of the L.A. poker demimonde.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9015992825838558955/3742554803252624311/comments/default/7787696987786043032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9015992825838558955/3742554803252624311/comments/default/7787696987786043032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benbassandbeyond.blogspot.com/2009/03/table-talk.html?showComment=1238440320000#c7787696987786043032' title=''/><author><name>Ben</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04754156636762779545</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='11653114842724682082'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://benbassandbeyond.blogspot.com/2009/03/table-talk.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015992825838558955.post-3742554803252624311' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9015992825838558955/posts/default/3742554803252624311' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015992825838558955.post-6715535458138617915</id><published>2009-03-30T10:27:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T10:27:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I want to have a spam post on the Reuben blog.
