Looks like PS is adding 5 card draw and 2-7 draw poker. They also seem to be increasing their 180 person SnG buy-in availabilities.

PartyPoker looks like a bunch of jackasses now (not that they never did)

5 draw?...thats awesome. I might have to see about getting some money into PS in the next few weeks.

wow, im definately playing 2-7 triple draw

damn.... I played a little of both, dumb games.

Not being able to see any cards is kinda stupid... Theres nothing to go off of, no cards to give you a clue as to what they could have.

I don't care for 5-draw high. 2-7 is a decent game, but only against bad players--among players of comparable skill level, luck plays a much bigger role than in the other Poker games. Triple Draw allows for more information because there are three separate draws and four betting rounds to gain clues.

In all forms of draw, though, knowing the other players is crucial for the same reason. With less info. from the cards, you have to know other players' styles much more intimately.

I like Triple Draw a lot and I look forward to playing it if I ever get back online. I miss playing it in a mixed rotation.

5 Card Draw is a very mechanical game and I don't really care much for it, but I played some 2-7 earlier and it was fun.

I must admit, I don't have a great understanding of the game. I watched my friend play it a bit on Ultimate bet, but that's about it.

The players on stars know how to play it less than I do though, so it owned taking a buyin down at the NL version, even if I did forget straights count against you and got it all in with a 7 high straight. :D
