Outside of @CraigT78 , has anyone done a tournament with circus games? I like the idea of having one at some point next year with my regular crew and with the local PCF'ers as well as both groups of players for the most part like playing mixed games.
I would plan on a traditional T10000 starting stack structure with rebuys the first two hours, but has anyone had any luck with doing a deep stack format? Given the variance in a lot of these games, I would imagine regardless of stack size, playing for stacks with mixed games especially if there's no betting cap would result in some early knockouts, and as a result, would be best to be played as a game with rebuys.
The problem then becomes what games to play. I'm not sure I like the idea of split pot games like SOHE or any kind of high/lo game. However, the aspect of split pot games would add an interesting dynamic to betting. Craig, how did that play out at DID?
The idea otherwise would be to play a rotation of six games. What do you guys think of the list? Any particular order that's best or just throw them in a blender and let them go?
Super Hold 'Em
Three Handed Hold 'Em
Omaha (four card, hi only)
Five Card Omaha (hi/lo)
Scrotum (hi only)
Icelandic Scarney
I appreciate any suggestions for any substitutions or order in which the games can be played!
