First off, a shout out to @Quicksilver-75 for his Majestics raffle. I was fortunate enough to win that raffle, twice actually, and ended up with a really nice set of Majestics, with The Silver Club logo, some custom sports logos, a nice dealer button, and a really nice High Hand button. So thanks for all of that!
So that awesome HH button got me thinking, why not? So tonight I'll start a high hand pot.
To consider:
- we play .25/.50
- we play low stakes. $15 initial buy in.
- we play, self dealt, for 5 hours - what's that 100-125 hands?
My plan:
- .25 from every pot that sees the turn? Or should I go with a minimum dollar amount?
- I realize some players will be tempted to chase, due to the added incentive. However, I don't have many that would chase more than they normally do. Also, maybe chasing isn't a bad thing, to keep the game excited in our "power hour" - that's the last hour where guys are trying to dig out of the hole they've dug for themselves. Maybe some winners will put money in, to catch the HH prize, and that could help the losers?
Any other thoughts/drawbacks/pros, etc.?
