New game !

Whilst watching a WPT episode, I developed a new
strain of holdem. Its a hybrid of limit and
no limit, and its a game where reading the player
is all important !

Its called "NO FOLDEM HOLDEM"

Its the same as holdem except:
1. The betting structure pre-flop is the same
as in limit (so ur betting is capped at 4 bets
the size of the big blind).

2. Heres the catch, no one can fold their hand
pre-flop !!! Thats right, if you have 2-7,
and the table makes it 4 bets to go pre-flop
you have to call !

3. Betting after the flop however is NO LIMIT !
And you can of course fold your hand.

The thing about this game, is when you make it
4 bets to go with pocket aces say, and the
flop comes 2-2-7, what do you do ?! Everyone
is still in the field, sure you built up
the pot with your aces, however, you could
easily be beat ! Thats the beauty
about "NO-FOLDEM HOLDEM" you can represent
whatever you want, its a game of bluffing
and most imporantly reading your opponent.
Just because your opponent made it 4 bets
to go pre-flop, who says they have anything,
they could be representing whatever
hits the flop ?! Also if the table keeps making
it 4 bets, your going to get blinded out,
so your forced to make a stand at the right
spot !

Anyway i think it might be good, who knows
Ive never played it b4 and i doubt anyone
else has ?
