Wow, .5/1 with 10bb straddle sounds insane
I'm probably going to try out a 2.5bb rock that acts as a mandatory straddle, maybe experiment with putting out a couple of rocks at some point if players like it.
What are the rules on players cashing out? If I stop playing and have the rock in my stack, who does it go to?
Who gets the rock in the first place, first player to win a hand?
The rock doesn't count as monetary value, correct? It is a just a house-provided coupon for a straddle? If I put my opponent all in, I don't have to factor in the rock, but if I win his stack I get the rock too?
