Out crew had heard that it was going to be an official casino game and decide to do a night of it at our weekly game of 30 or so players.
LOVED IT!! Changes the dynamics a bit, and occasionally players would forget that there were only 4 cards on the board, so there flush/straight draws never came simply because they forgot that there were no more cards coming. It happened to me a couple of times at the beginning.
The consensus was that most of us liked it and that we would try it once in a while just to break things up a bit. Personally: I really enjoyed it simply because it was different and required a whole other thinking process.
The great thing is: No more comments about that "damn river". Now it is "damn turn"
