I used to deal a room that had a group come in 1 or 2 times a month and play 100-200 limit mixed games. Badugi, Baduci, Badacey, Triple Draw, Razz, Ohama 8, Drawmaha, and a whole bunch of other games. Usually 9 or 10 games in rotation. In a typical down, you might deal 3 or 4 of those games.
$25 tip to start the down, plus this group was often good for another 3 or 4 dollars during the down.
Once they got to a heads-up pot, you no longer brought the bets into the middle, so splitting the pots was super easy. And they'd announce their hands every time. "I have two pair." "I have a 7-5 low." Wash, rinse, repeat.
As long as you kept your head down, shut up, and didn't try to act like you were a know-it-all, the guys didn't give you any grief, and this was a pretty stress-free 30 minutes.
