Hey Mark
Hope the wedding and honeymoon were great.
I have approached *** about hosting a unique game at the Dirty Zebra. Basically, it starts off as limit Omaha, and thru a pineapple-style ends up as no limit Holdem (with pot limit betting in between on the turn). It was invented by Rolf Slotboom, Cardplayer writer. Here are the rules:
**********************
Potnopine Hold'em Rules: by Rolf Slotboom
Before the flop:
* Two blinds ($2-5; $5-10, etc.), each player gets four cards * Betting round # 1: limit betting, just like in limit hold'em or limit Omaha * After betting, each player releases one card (three cards left)
Flop:
* Betting round # 2: double limit betting ($10 increments for $2-5 blinds, $20 for $5-10 blinds, etc.) * After betting, each player releases one additional card (two hole cards left, just like in regular hold'em)
Turn:
* Betting round # 3: pot-limit betting; it is possible to bet any amount up to the size of the pot
River:
* Betting round # 4: no-limit betting; everybody can bet any amount he or she wishes * Best 5 card hand wins (high only); players can use 1 or 2 cards from their hand or play the board just like hold'em
*** is interested in trying this new game out in his new card room. Several players have already expressed interest. If you are interested, let *** know. Also, feel free to post this on IAG.
