Winner Of the Hand Wins the Button Twist - Page 2 - Home Poker Games

In SOME of the medium high level tournaments they give split pots entirely to the OOP winner. This rule is obviously flawed on so many levels but that could be what he was refering to.

Where is that at?

So it reverts back to the standard dealer button? Or does the winner button stay where it was on the split-pot hand?

In a "winner gets THE button" game, it'd stay put, or move to some sort of arbitrary position.

In a "winner gets A CHIP faux-button" game, you'd just not have one out.

The first situation is problematic, although there's plenty of "fair" solutions - since even the arbitrary is fair as long as you apply it consistently.

It's an interesting twist, and might be fun when we're drunk, but doubt we'd play a lot of it -- because it just takes 1-2 sticks in the mud to cancel it.

I like the idea that on split pots, the "winner" button goes back into the middle. I'd like to come up with a name that ties in to Pharaoh theme of my room. "Egyptian Straddle"? Little help.
