Hi, new to this forum, but wanted to try a question out (Texas Hold'em tournaments). Does anyone use special house rules that can spice up your home games, or do you consider it to be blasphemy?
If you are using it - do you have any fun favorites to share?
Sometimes we have played with (probably with another name in other groups of course):
2-7 Punisher: If you manage to win a hand with 2-7, in addition the other players must pay you a big blind each.
Bounty Hunter: At the start of a tournament, all players pay an extra fee. This is then distributed (a fixed amount) for each player that is knocked out in a hand, to the player that knocked them out.
Deuces Wild: Extreme variant. Twos are wild (counts as anything) - either hole cards, table cards, or both.
