Default Re: Dealer\'s Choice

^^
We do a dealer's choice game now and then, but we're not quite as restrictive. We just limit it to poker, meaning five-card hands.

Some players absolutely have a conniption when there are wild cards. They'll call (or make up) the wackiest games simply out of protest for a while, then calm down when they realize they're hemmoraging money.

Personally, I think such games are a lot of fun. They do loosen up the table, and help some folks take poker a little less seriously. While the other players are getting loose, crazy, or angry, I'll quietly call games in which I think I have the greatest advantage. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

For me, any poker night that's both enjoyable, and pays for the beer I drink while playing, is a great one.

We created a little game named \'Pimp my Hold\'em\' (short: Pimp\'em). Everybody gets two Hoecards facedown and a Pimpcard which you have to put on your forehead. You can\'t see your own Pimpcard, but you can see the Pimpcards of the others. - Betting Round - 2 Community Cards - Betting Round - 1 Community Card - Betting Round - 1 Community Card - Betting Round - Showdown!

You use the Hoecarding (=> Lowcarding) to determine the button.

I get that your hold'em version has 3 hole cards and 4 shared board cards, but what is this random button position thing again?

So someone is the hoe and has to bring the big blind more often than the other players [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I get that, but I don't get how they determine the button- are they using the Pimpcards, which would give your Indian Poker card away? They can't be using the down Hoecards, that would expose your hand.

Either OP mislabeled this portion:

"You use the Hoecarding (=> Lowcarding) to determine the button."

... or there's another part missing...

OR I'm stupid :P
