Cash games and Rock Band to follow!

Please sign up here if you can make it to give me an idea of the numbers I'll have for the first game.

    You get some weird hand. You roll the dice. The dice fuck you over. You rebuy. Repeat 10-40 times.

    btw I'm in. :D

    We're up to 9-10, at the moment.

    As a reminder, here are the rules for this variant. We'll likely make it a $10 tournament, with one optional $10 re-buy in the first 4 levels if you bust out.

    I thought I had a more recent rule set, but I can't find any of my old threads that announced Chaos tournaments. :(

    Chaos hold'em is played like a normal tournament, starting with the structure of a regular No-Limit Hold'em tournament.

    Before the players post blinds and antes for the hand, the dealer rolls a d100 (can be done with two ten sided dice) and some additional effect is added to the game for this hand, after consulting the table below. Most effects will only last for the hand being played. To keep the game moving, the cutoff (or an eliminated player) will read the result while the dealer deals.

    If NEW GAME is rolled, then players then roll a d10 and consult the NEW GAME section. The New games is played for a single hand, using the adjusted blinds, limits and/or antes listed below.

    The JACKPOT is a common pool of chips added to by each table in play. (ie. There's only one jackpot in play for the whole tournament.) The tournament can end with chips still left in the jackpot.

    If any rule causes you to bust, before the cards are dealt, you get one SB for that hand. If a rule causes you to bust after the hand has finished, you also get one SB for the next hand.

    CHAOS HOLD'EM - $2 Re-Buy

    Chaos hold'em is played like a normal tournament, starting with the structure of a regular No-Limit Hold'em tournament. $2 gets you $1,500 chips, you may spend $2 to re-buy for $1,500 if you bust out in the first three levels, and there is a one-time $2 add-on for $2,000 chips at the end of level three.

    Before the players post blinds and antes for the hand, the dealer rolls a d100 (can be done with two ten sided dice) and some additional effect is added to the game for this hand, after consulting the table below. Most effects will only last for the hand being played. To keep the game moving, the cutoff (or an eliminated player) will roll the dice and read the result while the dealer shuffles.

    If NEW GAME is rolled, then players then roll a d10 and consult the NEW GAME section. The New games is played for a single hand, using the adjust blinds, limits and/or antes listed below.

    The JACKPOT is a common pool of chips added to by each table in play. (ie. There's only one jackpot in play for the whole tournament.) The tournament can end with chips still left in the jackpot. The tournament starts with $3,000 chips in it.

    If any rule causes you to bust, before the cards are dealt, you get one SB. If a rule causes you to bust after the hand has finished, you also get one SB.

    If you bust out and are in a "Dead" position (SB or button), you stay in your seat and, if given chips due to a roll, you're back in!! (This will not happen when moving from 3 players remaining to 2)

    1 rebuy? I think we will run out of players before the end of the rebuy period.

    +1

    I'd rather see unlimited rebuys for $2 or $5
  • ZithalZithal
    There it is. Found one of my old email messages with the rules I came up with, after the post Johnnie found. I'm good for the $2 unl. re-buy also, so what the hell!! LET'S DO EET!

    CHAOS HOLD'EM - $2 Re-Buy

    Chaos hold'em is played like a normal tournament, starting with the
    structure of a regular No-Limit Hold'em tournament. $2 gets you $1,500
    chips, you may spend $2 to re-buy for $1,500 if you bust out in the
    first three levels, and there is a one-time $2 add-on for $2,000 chips
    at the end of level three.

    Before the players post blinds and antes for the hand, the dealer
    rolls a d100 (can be done with two ten sided dice) and some additional
    effect is added to the game for this hand, after consulting the table
    below. Most effects will only last for the hand being played. To keep
    the game moving, the cutoff (or an eliminated player) will read the result while the dealer shuffles.

    If NEW GAME is rolled, then players then roll a d10 and consult the
    NEW GAME section. The New games is played for a single hand, using the
    adjust blinds, limits and/or antes listed below.

    The JACKPOT is a common pool of chips added to by each table in play.
    (ie. There's only one jackpot in play for the whole tournament.) The
    tournament can end with chips still left in the jackpot. The
    tournament starts with $3,000 chips in it.

    If any rule causes you to bust, before the cards are dealt, you get
    one SB. If a rule causes you to bust after the hand has finished, you
    also get one SB.

    If you bust out and are in a "Dead" position (SB or button), you stay
    in your seat and, if given chips due to a roll, you're back in!! (This
    will not happen when moving from 3 players remaining to 2)
  • R_Brother1R_Brother1
    Sure why not. Count me in.
  • ZithalZithal
    Also.. The list of rolls that Johnnie has is an older list, so the list of rolls may change a bit between now and tomorrow.
  • westside8westside8
    Fuck..I might not be making the trek into KW anymore tomorrow. I will text one of you donkeys if I can make it. But for now count me out - FUCK
