We also threw in a new version of the Nit Game that sort of worked, and there were also Bomb Pot's o'plenty, both the single board NLHE kind and the double board PLO variety!
The evening would prove to live up to it's namesake - there were indeed Big Bets, all the time! Three-bets especially were plentiful, it seems our little game is all grown up, with everyone now knowing how to play the game. People were not shy at all about applying pressure and in general putting chips to work!
Our Nit Game went at 9:30, and this time around we tried it a bit different - instead of the traditional Nit rules, we switched to the Hustler stream's "Stupid Game" which is also known as the "Squid Game" elsewhere.
The rules are as such - there are 10 Nit buttons set aside. When you win a hand you win a button. When all the buttons are gone, anyone without a button pays each button a penalty.
In our case, we made the penalty $1, which means that if you didn't get a button, you were only stuck $10 (as opposed to our old Nit Game where you could be out of up to $18!). The better news for anyone with multiple Nit buttons, is that you could potentially make a lot more money as there could be multiple people paying!
For example, if I had collected 6 buttons, and three people didn't get a button, that's $18!
Unfortunately, or maybe it's fortunately, in this first time Squid Game all players except one won a button. Boo! I won two buttons and so did Wiz, so we each got $2, everyone else except the loser of the game, just got $1.
The good news is that the loser was only stuck $10, which for some players is merely an opening raise lol.
I'm hoping we can play this version again, it seems that there should be more action as people realize there's a great incentive to win multiple buttons. Ah well.
