Example would be pot is at $750, someone plays and loses, they put in their $750 and the $1500 is distributed evenly between the 3 of us. They still lose the some money but dont get ridiculously stuck/ no 5 figure pots in a $1 [censored] ante game. edit: yeah you can quit whenever but GL walking away when $1k+ of your money is in the middle of the table [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, not really in the spirit of BBV but that sounds like a good rule. Also, there is no way I'm walking away stuck a grand.

[ QUOTE ] Am I missing something? As with any game with massive pots and tiny antes/blinds, doesn't it make sense to wait for AA/KK/QQ/AK (if everyone else is playing loose and inflating pots) before going in? Or am I missing the point and this is just something to play while drunk? [/ QUOTE ] Does it make sense to only play AA in NLHE? Your post is borderline OOT-dumb, ducy? [/ QUOTE ] If I understand you correctly, you are on the wrong track. There's no shania involved here -- no one is going to be able to fold their 77 pre-flop thinking "Oh, [censored], Bilbo's in the pot", and no one is going to call for implied odds with 77 to "outflop Bilbo's obvious AA". The only point is to figure out whether or not your holding is good enough to go up against an average number of "callers" + the puppet for whatever is in the pot.

Re: Want 5 figure swings in ur homegame? Click 2 learn more (sick game
Can anyone comment on the merits of this idea:
How about if only 1 player stays in so he is HU with the puppet and he loses to the puppet he does not have to pay the pot, but he doesn't get to take the pot. It stays and everyone re-antes. I think this may be a good rule to combat nitiness. People won't want to let someone get a freeroll with the puppet so they will in effect lower their calling standards. Otherwise, it seems it would be best to play a pretty tight game since even if everyone folds you still have to beat the puppet or risk paying the pot. So I think this would loosen up the game even more? Thoughts on this? Good idea/bad idea?

I've never heard of that one? So it basically plays like this puppet except for some minor rule changes?

[ QUOTE ] the next hand, the pot is $400. Hero decides to give it a go with A9s, and another player comes in and plays with 77. The puppet has K3o. The board runs 73329 and the guy with 77 wins $400, and hero with A9s must put $400 into the pot. the next hand, the pot is $400. [/ QUOTE ] this is what makes the game have huge pots very frequently, btw, the fact that everyone must beat puppet for game to end [/ QUOTE ] what happens if you go busto? 1st born?
