seven-deuce bounty (low content)

[mikech]

seven-deuce bounty is the greatest game ever. some of the sickest hands i've ever seen went down while we had the bounty on. last night in the 25-50-100 game at bellagio i saw 72o put 10k aipf against KK. good times.

(ps: feel free to move or lock this, fsu/azk.)

explain the game?

[TheWorstPlayer]

you get extra bounty money if you win a hand with 72.

Does it need to get to showdown?

[coltranedog]

In this years HSP the ol 72 game cost me around 35k. I got off cheap though, some others lost a lot more. What was really odd was that the bounty was such a small amount relative to the Blinds/antes. The bounty was 500 a person and the game was 300-600 with a 100 ante. I am not sure if the cameras made people play a little differently (you look especially nitty if you don't open with 72 when the bounty is on) or if it was just machismo but it made for some interesting poker.
