Re: Odd hold\'em structure
Hi Larry,
Okay, I lied a little bit. It's actually a .50/1.00 game with standard betting rules (one bet and 3 raises), but everyone's a maniac so it's capped on every street...typically one street per orbit isn't capped. So, it plays almost exactly like the game I described. In SSHE it says that you can't play small pairs and suited connectors for multiple bets preflop, except for a few exceptions. I was wondering if this was one of the exceptions. PP

Flop, the opener for $2 is the only bettor allowed. Turn-river, the $4 opener is the only bettor allowed. [/ QUOTE ] I assume that it's not just a single $2 bettor. If someone bets, you have to call the $2 to stay in the hand. (I wonder if checking is allowed, though).

Re: Odd hold\'em structure
Yes, of course. There's a single bettor, and then many callers (many, many callers).
Checking is allowed. I don't know if checking around was allowed or not; the situation never came up [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] PP

The blinds are .25/.50. The small bets are $2. The big bets are $4. THERE ARE NO RAISES --- there's only a single bet on each street. [/ QUOTE ] Dude, this isn't poker... It's a "card holding" contest. It basically comes down to this: 1. deal out cards 2. push in some money 3. show hands and declare winner 4. repeat Without raises, I would seriously suggest finding another place to play.

Re: Odd hold\'em structure
Hi crackhead,
I respectfully disagree. It's not a very interesting or tactical poker game, but it's certainly more poker-y than 2-card guts or acey-deucy. Although you can't raise, you are allowed to fold. There are wagering decisions to be made on every street. As long as my decisions are better than everyone else's, the game should be profitable. PP

Re: Odd hold\'em structure
Your best adjustment would be to find a real game, or to get your friends to learn the real rules. If you insist on playing here guess you could play etremely loose PF. IE call the blind without looking, then only proceed when you flop a monster.
.5 to see flop. If you have a monster you'll make 10 bucks (a single bet on the flop, turn and river), if not you fold and you've lost 50 cents. It still is a complete crap shoot though without raises. Good luck, But I'd stay away Matt
