Poker with a twist
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2019 5:53 pm
2x5-player parallel Texas hold 'em. The players of one group act as croupier for the other, PMing cards and posting flops, turns and rivers.
Once the deck is exhausted, the order in which the cards were discarded gets incorporated into the dealing sequence. Consequently, players who deduce some of it gain an edge in foretelling their hands' strength.
Croupier duty requires keeping track of the parallel group's sequence changes, updating the deck (via posting in the group's private croupier thread) and dealing cards accordingly. Croupier reward points, earned by being the first to perform these tasks, replace buy-in credits in future iterations.
Black market auctions, whereby players sell the information from undisclosed folds to the highest bidder within a select clientele, last 48 hours.
Players start off with 400 credits. Blinds start at 2 and 4, increasing by these amounts every round until 20 & 40. Max raise is to 100.
