The Rock rules. I'll leave it for others to elaborate. It's also a great way to identify nits since only nits don't like The Rock. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: \"The Rock\"
The Rock if I am correct is equal to one big bet. If you win the rock, you have to post it when you are UTG. It acts like a straddle. You can't keep the Rock.

When you say implementing, do you mean it's officially part of the game, or is it just something the players do? I feel like going back to Biloxi for a while. Did the ever bring back poker to the Beau?

Re: \"The Rock\"
Just wait until there are 3 "rocks" in the game with a bonus for accumulating all 3 rocks....
Go back about 3 weeks when Duke and I wrote about this at the 30/60 Bellagio game.

Re: \"The Rock\"
I just read that thread. I still don't fully understand it. Is this something that house is enforcing, similar to how in a kill game you are actually required to post a kill whether you want to or not? This is what I would think from the reference to it being implemented in some high limit games at Biloxi. Or is it just that some player chooses to create a rock and straddle with it and, by social convention, the winner of the pot is expected to use it for the same purpose? This is what I would think from the existence of rock eaters. Also, how does "the rock" interact with "the scissors" and "the paper"?

Re: \"The Rock\"
It is not something that is part of the house rules. In fact it's frowned upon, some of the brushes won't allow it during their shift.
It is mearly an agreement among all the players to play the game that way. When a new person joins the table the are told about the "agreement"; if they agree fine, if not they become potential "rock eaters" as they can't be forced to play in a game with different rules than "advertised" by the house.
