How do you do the bomb pots again? Frequency and amount? Just curious.

TheCoordinator

We are gonna randomize 2 cards from the deck, you win and show with either of those cards next hand is a bomb pot.

Tentative please

table 2 will be a go if there are 6 firm for the 2nd.

Need datamn or moose311 to confirm but 2/52*5 = 19.2% bomb pots. Seems excessive.

2/52+2/51+2/50+2/49+2/48 = 20%, more accurately I think.

Thats fair. Ill scheme up a few bomb pot scenarios to make them less frequent yet still attainable.

I have seen any pot folded to the blinds, next hand is a bomb pot.

This math doesn't make sense to me.

It seems more like it answers the question, how likely is it that the community cards contain either of the 2 designated cards.

More like a 1 in 26 chance of a bomb pot I'd guess. ~4%. Not counting for the motivation some, myself included, may feel towards trying extra hard to win the hand when I happen to have either of the designated cards.

Looking forward to @DataMn correcting both of us :)

That was the intended goal, that if you have one of those cards in your hand you would be motivated to show down with that card for a bomb pot.

OR

Consider this: if the board contains 5 cards and your hand contains 5 cards then it is ALSO the chance that your hand contains one of the two cards. B)

And that only considers that only the winner gets shown, ie a single hand. There will be many instances of multiple hands going to showdown so even more chance of a bomb pot card being shown.

Bomb pot card must be in the winning hand, not in a showdown hand.

I was assuming the 2 designated cards had to be hole cards, not just any of the winning 5 card hand. I believe that was the intent.

Heads up for anyone coming to the game from KW-Cambridge going through downtown the Santa Claus parade will be blocking that route so take hwy 24 to osborne corners.

I might be able to come out and play, but will be a game time decision as I have a family Christmas party that day. If I can play i’ll text one of moose, Trigs or G2 to see how the two table situation is going. Hope this is ok with you?

TheCoordinator

Sure

Out of curiosity, would you start with two tables with your current list of players?

No, would have to have 6+ for 2nd table.

I dont want to set up 2 tables for short handed play.

It doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it out tonight
