The seven-deuce game...

I'm sorry that the way we play our game causes histronics. You may want to get that looked at. Get a little gray back into your binary world.

Anyway, had another game last night. Some folks wanted it to be 5x BB (which I'm fine with), others didn't want it at all. So one BB was agreed upon and everybody was happy and we had a few successes (me twice!) and we all had fun.

Hey pfap, Why don't you make "7-2 game" buttons. Anyone who takes a button is owed the 5x BB from everyone else who has a button when they win. The ones who don't take a button don't have to pay it, but won't win it either. It might encourage the nay's to take a button once they see it in practice.

Here's a variation worth trying to make sure the winner gets the same amount no matter how many players are in: Make the 7-2 winner get paid say 15x BB in total, divided by all who have the button. So there's 4 players with buttons, one wins with 72, the other three players pay 5x BB each. When say two more players take buttons (6 total) the winner gets 3x BB from each to total 15x BB.
