A real Lou Lou ….

Weve all played Ĺ“gutsť, right? Well, heres a nifty little variation called Lou. Maybe it was named after some guy named Lou ¦or maybe a girl friend. Who knows? But its an interesting one to add to your list of weird poker variations.

It starts with three cards to each player. The dealer flips a trump card afterwards. This is all guts style. Those players who declare Ĺ“inť can draw as many cards as they want. When the play starts, each player must follow suit. Every trick is worth 1/3 of the pot, and every player who declares Ĺ“inť and doesnt get at least a trick, must match the pot!

Basics:

Since the goal of this game is to collect tricks, it almost isnt a poker game although it relates strongly to guts and there are bets ¦so it can be classified as poker! The dealer decides on the ante amount, and that must be at least 15 cents. Theres a reason for this: because the pot must be divisible by three, so even nickel-ante table would have a 15-cent ante for this variation. The pot is divided into 3 equal piles So each player gets three cards and the dealer flips the trump You play by each player tossing out one of their cards at a time in sequence, and always trying to follow suit. Anyone unfamiliar with trump, it automatically takes the trick, unless a higher trump card is thrown on the same round. If youve played bridge, this is easy stuff. So if spades is trump, hearts were led, and everybody has a heart but you, you can throw down any spade and it gets you the trick. However, another player who might not have had hearts could play a higher spade than yours to take the trick.

Just like Ĺ“gutsť, players must call “in” or “out”. Do this is with the chip declare, where players lower one chip or coin under the table with both hands, raising only one hand over the table. Getting a little weird now, huh? Players who choose to go “in” have the chip in their hand; those who do not want to go “in” leave the chip in the hand that is not raised over the table. Once each player has one hand raised over the table, all players open that hand at the same time. This sort of puts the whole thing in to a party realm, doesnt it? Especially depending on how many drinks youve had and how good your coordination is holding up. Those that drop a chip are declaring “in”. These players are allowed a draw of as many cards as they want.

Play starts with the first player who called “in” to the left of the dealer leading. Everyone must follow suit if they can. Otherwise, you can throw down a trump card if you have one to try to take the trick. Once all players who went “in” have played their three cards, players take a third of the pot for each trick that they collected. Those players that went “in” and did not collect at least one trick of the three must match the pot. If two players went “in” and collected no tricks, then the pot doubles, but is still divided into three piles for the next round. The game is over when each player who went “in” collects at least one trick. Otherwise, somebody will be throwing money into the pot and the player to the left of the dealer re-deals the same game.

I made some friends try this the other night after wed popped a few. If nothing else, its great for laughs! I loved bridge before I loved poker so trumps are fun for me!

    Hello everyone!
    I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

    For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
    I’m with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
    Right now, I’m very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.

    Tablets is an antihistamine used to relieve the symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, such as watery and itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, or hives. It works by blocking the action of histamine, which reduces the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
    Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to this medication. Clarinex may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Clarinex with caution.

    Salt, water and other small molecules are filtered out of the blood into the tubules of the kidney. However, most of the sodium, chloride, calcium and water get reabsorbed into the blood before the filtered fluid gets expelled through urine. Generic Furosemide blocks this re-absorption process, causing an increase in the output of urine - diuresis. It’s very name, Lasix, is said to be derived from a phrase that describes its duration - lasting 6 hours. If it is taken orally,
    Drug takes about an hour to take effect, after which the diuresis lasts about 6-8 hours; but, if it is injected, it starts working within 5 minutes and the diuresis lasts a couple of hours.

    The ads for the Pfizer painkiller Drug feature a man holding a boy’s hand as they walk up a stadium staircase. “52 steps won’t keep you from taking him out to the ballgame,” they say.Pfizer stopped advertising Celebrex in December 2004, after Merck stopped selling Vioxx, a similar drug, because of its heart dangers. Four months later, federal regulators ordered Pfizer to put a so-called black-box warning on Celebrex, detailing its risks.
    In 2004, before the advertising moratorium, Pfizer spent $117 million promoting Celebrex. That year, Celebrex sales were $3.3 billion worldwide. In 2005, during the ad moratorium, sales plunged to $1.7 billion. Pfizer says that all painkillers carry some risk and that its new ads disclose Celebrex’s potential dangers.

    Drug helped preserve brain function after stroke
    The antidepressant Lexapro may help protect key thinking functions if taken soon after a stroke, U.S. researchers said on Monday. Lexapro is one of a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs. The researchers said the study is the first to show that an SSRI can improve brain function after a stroke and deserves further study. About a third were assigned to take 5 to 10 milligrams of Lexapro daily within three months of their stroke, another third took a placebo daily and the rest took part in a therapy program developed for treating patients with depression.

  80. sudiav @ February 12th, 2010

    Zoloft ® is the brand name of a medication called sertraline. Sertraline belongs to a group of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs. Zoloft® helps the brain balance its chemistry, which helps treat depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It may also be used to treat panic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.Zoloft® may cause lung problems in newborn children. If a patient taking this medication or another SSRI becomes pregnant, consult the prescribing physician. Do not stop taking Zoloft® without first consulting a doctor. Stopping any SSRI suddently may cause a severe relapse of symptoms.
