Default The seven-deuce game...

So since we have several HSP fans in our crew, we started doing the 72 game, where if you win with 72, everyone kicks you a BB.

It's been brought up that if you win the pot with the best hand at a showdown, you shouldn't get the bonus, as it was a legitimate hand. They feel you only get it if it's a bluff. Tho' what if you get someone to fold 63 on the turn or something? Anyone do this, have any ideas on what should be a payout? Maybe the rule should be if there's no showdown, so on the river if you have the best hand, you just bet the same or more as you would receive on the table...

Most people dig on it, tho'. I certainly lost a bit chasing those few bucks, I tell you what...

Bullhockey- the bonus for The Hammer is the bonus, regardless of how you won the hand with it.

Besides, The Hammer is too strong a hand to give a bonus to. Maybe the Baby Hammer (32)... or a really tough hand to actually win with, like the Evil Eights.

gotta agree with Larry. You play 7,2 and win you get the bonus. Period. I don't care if you flopped quads. The goal is to get players to play crap hands and encorage action, is it not.

I also think if two or more players have 7,2 and both get to showdown and they split everyone still pays and they split that too. I'd love to see two guys with 7,2 trying to bluff each other out. That would be one sick final river call.

Yup, play and win = bonus, doesnt mather how. You might hit quads or whatever, you did a -ev move preflop in order to try to get the bonus so you deserve it

not to be picky but "etymology" is the word used for origin of words, simply FYI

Excellent contribution.

Anyways, I agree with the others, pay up no matter how its won, otherwise it gets way to complicated "I bluffed, no 7 high was the best hand, but i didn't know it was, blah blah blah"

7 2 wins pass that BB over.

By the way, if I were you, I don't think I'd actually play, seems like a good way of losing some money trying to get a few BB's. Let the others play and capitalize off their greed.

Great, thanks all for feedback on this. Tho' we generally don't force anyone who just lost a big pot to pay, but glad to know consensus is on winning, period.
