This is like aceyducey. I once saw a .5-.1 aceyducey game generate a 1k pot, all of a single guys money. He had A2 and hit an ace twice. Sick.

That said, Vhawk and L33tzr Im down for this game whenever.

how exactly does the game end? Unanimous decision? Or an actual rule?

what happens when the pot gets big enough to busto all the players if they lose? this WILL happen if you play this game enough times...

[/ QUOTE ]

before ppl were stuck and one person insisted on playing it out, we built a $2400 pot. Since our bankrolls are in no shape for $2400 swings, I offered to chop the pot 3 ways (3-handed game) even though i had contributed almost nothing to the pot. Basically i let them buy out by giving me $800.

[/ QUOTE ]
and what would you have done had they not accepted your offer? I feel like once you start playing there is the strong chance that a)someone goes busto b)someone steals the pot.

[/ QUOTE ]

well later a similar offer was declined in a $2700 pot, and two ppl played and lost. I scooped an $8k and change pot the next hand. you are correct about large chance of busto tho if people dont have self-control

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 ]

You do realize there's a difference between games where all action is preflop with pots 1000x+ the ante, and NLHE with 20BB pots and most of the action being postflop, right?

let me just clarify the rules because I am unsure of a few things

say i am playing 5 handed....with the 1 puppet

6 hands are dealt and everyone ante's $1

there is now $5 in the pot

3 people fold and two play

if the puppet wins they both put $5 in the pot and redeal

if a player wins many things can happen:
if player A wins and player B loses to the puppet, player A scoops the $10 pot and player B leaves $5 in for the next hand
if player A wins and player B beats the puppet but loses to player A, then what happens???

if they both lose, then they both pay the pot (in yer example, 10$.) if 1 wins, then the other pays the pot, so the pot wont 2x, but it wont die. if they both lose, then they both pay the pot, so the pot 2x's

and i cant wait to hear the first "i went busto to teh puppets" story. plz post if it you
