OK, you talked me into it, discuss why this wont work please:)

A bit of background, i was thinking about a way to develop sit and gos and cash games into the same table, as i thought it would be a bit of fun, and a good way for low limit players and medium limit players to play together, and have a shot at some big money, and we all know that theres a LOT of people out there who waste all their bankroll on games they cant play. SO i came up with something that lets them, but they have options on how tyo play it.

This idea isnt genious, its just a good concept for a new area in hold em that hasnt been tapped. I have 2 sites interested now somehow. I now do have copywrite paperwork back, so you guys cant steal it not that you would of course.

This isnt gonna make me a millionaire of course, but i suppose id like to see this game played on a site, and to see how it turns out, as i know the very interested site are as well..

So here goes...

This is the concept.

It is basically a 10 seater table, although smaller tables can be used. To sit down, everyone has to pay $1 or more, that fee is up to the site itself. Once sat down, you can buy in for any amount from $5 to $10,000. Once having bought in and sat down, the blinds are $0.25/$0.50. The game is started, and the first ten hands are dealt. The game is played normally, with it being in the style of a cash ring game.

After the first 10 hands are dealt, players have the option to leave the table. If noone leaves the table, the blinds are raised to $0.50/$1. ANother ten hands are dealt and played out, then the same option occurs. This will continue untill the blinds reach $10/$20 where they will stay until a player leaves.

here are some basic rules.

1. If a player is disconnected, he or she will be given 1 minute to return. or they will site out until the ten hands are dealt, having to post and fold the blinds if they are in them in the sit out status. Then the player will leave the table, and a new player must take his place for the game to start again.

2. The blind levels will be 0.25/0.5, 0.5/1, 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, 7.5/15, 10/20.

3. If a player has been knocked out, the other players can vote on whether they want to continue one player short of the full 10 seats. If all vote yes, they continue. if one votes no, then the table stops and waits till a new player is sat down.

4. The rake for the site is as usual 5% to a $3 max i belive you have.

5. the buy in i had in mind is $1, but maybe for smaller blinds levels for the smaller players, it could be less, or if you wanted a huge game, with blinds starting at 10/20 and going to 100/200, it could be more.

6. If there is a shorthanded version of this game, or if a player has been eliminated, and has chosen not to rebuy more cash, and the players all vote yes to continue, then there will be one BB per player in the round. So if 9 players are left, each level will be 9 hands, and for a short handed 6 seat game, each level is 6 or 12 hands (if you wish to have 2 rounds per level), again this is up to the site.








Any questions about thsi idea, or flaws, post em here and ill improve it. Be honest now

Dont have time to give full input at the moment, but one thing really caught my eye. 7.5/15. Yuck.

I assume this will be played in a no limit fashion?

[eejit101]

either really. it would suit no limit better, as the idea is to give the fish a change to get all in in huge stakes and double up their bankroll

but limit works too. But i would start the blinds higher than 0.25/0.5, maybe 1/2, and put a max of 25/50 on it.

Granted a dollar isn't much if you are eventually going to be playing 10/20, but from a player's perspective, I don't understand why I have to pay a fee to sit at this table in addition to the standard rake.

[Zybomb]

or why a 10/20 NL player would want to sit at this table as opposed to a normal 10/20 table

or why a lowerl imit player would want to pay a fee, sit down and then have to leave once the stakes got too high, rather than just stay at the limit they'd like
