Last day if the birthday trip, catching up with an old friend.....and another W2G

O2b- PHo was the first on the strip to get high card flush, then Harrahs, Flamingo, Ballys and Paris got it this year. Don't play it at Harrahs, they have grouchy old dealers that I really don't think get the game. I played there in Feb. and had to tell a dealer several times whether the hand they had qualified or not. It may have been because it was a new fame for them, but I've generally found their dealers to be grouchy. Doesn't make for a fun experience.

Thanks, TE. Agree, some dealers aren't prone to be charitable when a player questions a pay decision. When I viewed the rules of the game (RecVP's link, thanks again) I figured I would have to read them at least 20 times to understand it at all. A knowledgable/helpful dealer would be critical for me to start out with it.

You're very welcome. From what I'm reading about this game, this game isn't my cup of tea but I thought that anyone interested in playing this game should at least have good information about it.

High card flush was a lot more fun when they dealt it like pai gow. They must have realized they'd make more money just dealing to the players that are there.
