Table of Contents Perhaps this game is important to only a few players, but to them it is very important. In the world of celebrities—society, motion pictures, radio and television, publishers and authors-it has been the most important form of poker for some twenty years. More than any other form of poker that I know, this is a game of principle and of observation. The principle can be briefly expressed: Play for low, and let the high hands take care of themselves. Some fine players have expressed the principle that the only high hand worth staying on originally is three of a kind in the first three cards, and this happens so seldom that it couldn't greatly affect your winnings if you never got such a hand. Three cards offering both straight and flush possibilities, such as J-9-7 of diamonds, are worth a play; good later results may give you a seven-high or a straight flush, in addition to the regular high hands you can make. |
