This is a dice game that feels like Texas hold ‘em while being faster and more approachable for players who don’t know how to play poker. It’s best played against one or more NPCs, unless your players just want to compete with each other!
####Gameplay
- Ante
- Deal - Each player rolls 2d12, which they keep to themselves
- Betting round
- Flop - DM rolls 3d12 in the open
- Betting round
- Players reveal their dice, best hand of 4 dice wins
If you want to have more betting rounds, you can do 2d12 followed by an additional d12 or 3 rounds of 1d12.
The hierarchy of hands is:
- 4 of a kind
- Straight (4 sequential numbers)
- 3 of a kind
- 2 pair
- All odd/even
- Pair
- High number
For more roleplay and strategy, have your players roll persuasion/deception/insight to try to bluff or read NPCs! What are some other dice games you’ve used in your game?

For an option I hold, how can I see the Greeks from the Positions view? I’d like to see the same info from the P/L calculator, but without having to click through the option chain. In other words, can I seed the P/L calculator with a position I hold?
Thanks!
Greek Hold'em is just like Texas Hold'em, except for that you are REQUIRED to use the two cards you are dealt (hole cards) in your final hand.
If a player stays "in" for all of the rounds, I want to know his odds of scoring each hand:
P(Straight Flush)
P(Four of a Kind)
P(Full House)
P(Flush)
P(Straight)
P(Three of a Kind)
P(Two Pair)
P(Pair)
And, I want to keep in mind, for any given hand, you will use the HIGHEST RANKED hand, so if I have a pair but also a straight flush, I don't want to count the pair, only the straight flush.
How would I go about calculating these probabilities? Is this data already out there? Thanks.
I saw this in a movie once, the main character asks for Atlas help so in exchange has to wear the headset and is in danger of going crazy.
Atlas helps but is reluctant to wear the headset again.
Thank you in advance
Who is the worst player on your team that you’re too afraid to drop?
Everyone has one on their roster. The player you know in your heart will turn it around and coast your team through the season even though every performance says otherwise.
The player who you want to drop for a stream but you’ll lose sleep at the thought of another player grabbing them off the waiver wire.
I’m not talking about the diamond hand IR-stashes (Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, Zion etc.) I mean the end of the bench duds who are capable of greatness but lack the consistency.
A couple guys that come to mind for some of my leagues:
Duarte RoCo Precious Kelly Oubre Mitch Robinson
The feta of the world was in her hands.
A few months back I was looking at book recommendations here for new players and someone recommended this book. I got it for Christmas and am just now seeing it’s for poker in general where I am mostly interested in a learning focus on Hold Em. Would this still be a good/great book to start with? Thanks and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays

I'm flying there later this evening for 8 days, staying in the downtown area. What are your recommendations for good live cash games?
It’s been months, and never will I say that college is starting to clear up again. It slapped me harder than a disappointed Italian mother. It’s a short chapter, but I finished the next cowboy one. It’ll be up soon.
Also, my computer is broken. I’m down to just my phone. :/
The spikes were jagged. Each one had been crude, yet with some mastery work behind them. They were true homemade traps, likened to something a GI might face in Vietnam should they wander. Triggers were made of wood and whatever could be found, with rebar and other sharp instruments making gruesome looking pitfalls and swinging weapons.
And there 496 sat, best compared to a tweaker denied meth in his motions and odd twitching. He was dead set on sharpening another piece of rebar, sparks flying out from the force at which he grinded pieces together.
The only thing that was currently going wrong was 496 forcing himself to not think about eating.
It was so hard. The sustenance, the feeling of skin and tissue ripping apart to join and heal your own: it was intoxicating. But every time he looked at a body, no matter the race, bile rose in his throat.
A feeling of sadness, some sort of guilt or hesitance. He couldn’t place it, so the broken reasoning of the soldier decided it was a temporary malfunction that could be fixed later.
His body paid the price, remnants of injuries apparent with scars and bleeding nicks. It was of no concern for now, but had serious repercussions for the future if not treated then.
The treatment being to consume.
He was teetering on the edge, the small flicker of a conscience gnawing away at his mutated thoughts. It fought for the life it had just been given, fighting against the darkness that vehemently sought its destruction.
All it would take was a little push.
It did not take a therapist to figure that he was troubled and in another place. If there really was anything left of the man, it was boiling itself alive in fighting itself just to pass a few independent thoughts.
So boil it did, as he deftly constructed miniature war crimes in wait for his xeno foes. Sauer, plotting as always, barely paid note to any of the frantic actions performed by his former star project. He had bigger goals, bigger ambitions.
Not that he didn’t spare the occasional glance at the horrendous jerry-rigged traps and miscellaneous items that did not bode well for any invader. He had lost count of the many places and buildings he had

I know an indoor public space where we can play most likely, or if anyone has space at home that would work also
