My first poker post in a very long time. Don't feel the love with play money onl,ine stuff, but a hand came up the other day that made me think nostalgically about my old poker friend "Triple Gutter". He was a Crazy Moose casino regular, a good guy and fun to play with. He was a trucker so not always in town. He got his nickname while drinking once during a game and swore that he had to draw because he had a triple gutshot straight draw. In other words, 3 cards would give him a straight. This is not possible in hold em, so very funny. He had a jacket embroidered with the name. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago after a short illness.
So, playing some omaha this week, this hand came up. I am playing a 4/7/10/J when the board of 3/6/9 turns a king. So, a 5 gives me a straight to the 7. An 8 gives me a 10 high straight, while a queen makes the king high straight. In other words, a triple gunshot draw. RIP, Triple Gutter.
