Now, as must of us know — even if you are only starting to get interested in poker and are not yet an expert — Texas Hold ‘Em is the most popular poker game right now. When I was younger and played poker at camp — either for matchsticks or pennies; it was the real big time — all we knew about was Five Card or Seven Card Draw or Stud. These days, though, it is all about the Hold ‘Em — but did you know there are actually quite a few sub variations of this popular variation? Not a lot of folks do, so throughout the next couple of posts, we are going to take a look at some of the most often played sub versions.
We begin with Kill and Half Kill Texas Hold ‘Em. Here, in a Kill game, if a player is able to meet a very special, specific condition, such as winning two or more pots in succession, then the stakes get doubled for the hand after that.
In a Half Kill game, the stakes go up by fifty percent. The player in question has to post ablind which is equal to the brand new low limit.
