A variation on NLHE, the rules as created by cubbies760 are:
Updated and Official Rules:
----you must fold any hand that contains a J, Q, K, or Ace.
----You must SHOW all winning hands (Turn Off Auto-Muck)
(please try to remember, but there won't be a penalty)
----a limp (or call) needs to be at least a minimum raise, to give the BB the opportunity to fold his hand if it contains an outlawed card.
----The J, Q, K, A on the board will play just as normal, and the best 5 card hand still wins.
----If you accidentally play a hand that isn't allowed, you must announce your mistake in the chat log, so a bet can be put out there to allow you to then fold.
----Preflop, if everyone folds to the BB, the BB will win, regardless of if he holds an outlawed card.
----If you win a pot when holding an outlawed card, you forfeit your seat in the tourney, and must be blinded out.
----If you accidentally limp (forgetting to min. raise), you MUST fold.
I was thinking today how interesting a NLHE game would be if nobody played facecards or aces. I think there would be a completely different strategy required in this situation. Essentially, T9 would be similiar to Big Slick.
Once Heads-Up, play as you wish as long as both players agree, otherwise, continue with the TenTen format.
Last game of the week in Team Thingy Two. But all are welcome, so come by to play.
