I'm finally putting together a regular game here in Vermont. It is my goal to never again host a cash game of pure Hold 'em. For this first event, I intend to accomplish this by inserting a hand of O8 after each round of hold 'em. Hopefully that exposure will eventually result in regularly hosting a nice relaxing 8-game, but one step at a time.
I've never hosted or played in a game with an out of rotation hand, so i'm looking for feedback on the best way to do it.
Obviously, the button should be paused, but how to handle who deals? The deal should probably still rotate - do I need a "bonus game button" to slowly make its way around the table?
Additionally, I would like this to be an ante hand. The hold'em rounds will probably have two quarter blinds (this time), but I want the O8 hand to start with more chips in the middle. I'm thinking each player should ante a quarter to accomplish this. Is there anything about this structure that would concern you as a player?
Any other feedback?
