Default Daytona Hold Em\'....Where every player blinds every hand..

Here is the deal.

Daytona Florida 2 straight game called Daytona Hold Em

Each player blinds $2 each every round so at a 9 person table there is $18 (9 bets) in the pot beofore the first two cards are dealt.

I have not played Daytona yet there but I watched it when I was there.

Has anybody played this structure of hold em before?

How is this different than holdem with an ante?

Worst. Idea. Ever.

PS I take it back. The worst idea ever is actually poker for play money.

Are you sure they weren't limping? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've played in Daytona before (dogtrack) and never heard of this structure.

The Daytona track has several signs inside promoting the Daytona Hold Em.

I am not sure why this game was created but I suspect it was made to cater to the loose players there. Most of thge regular hold em games there have 7+ players taking the flop.

I first went to Daytona a week ago, so I don't know if it is new or not.

It's been over a year since the one time I played there, so it's not necessarily new.

Did you see the game played? What happens in the preflop betting round, is the $2 live or does everyone have to call $2? How does preflop raising work?

i agree, worst idea ever. wouldnt call it a blind i would call it an ante. florida is a terrible place to play poker anyways with $2max raises. you would have the whole table calling all the way to the river for sure.

Hiya -

Our card room is in a dog track also. Yep, that is ante hold 'em. I laughed when I saw it appear and I bet my dog track borrowed the idea from the other Central Florida locations.

People have won or lost hundreds of dollars. I personally stay away from it.
