I get what dealers choice is. In at least one casino I have played in, this would be illegal according to gaming regulations. The regulations allow for different games, but only at different tables. A table designated as 1/3 NL Hold em is ONLY allowed to run as 1/3 NL hold ‘em. Mixed games are not permitted.
Betting structures also are strictly enforced, so if the table is defined as NL, you cannot play PL, spread limit or fixed limit games. Blind values are likewise not allowed to be changed. Even bomb pots are not technically allowed, although they occur by player agreement. The only money permitted to be wagered before a deal are the mandatory blinds and an optional UTG straddle for 2BB. Bomb pots must be done by posting as normal, dealing the cards and then UTG raising to the agreed upon amount and everyone calling in turn.
Obviously this is not the case everywhere, and I never intended to imply that it was. I only stated that in some jurisdictions a DC game would be difficult if not impossible to run under local gaming regulations.
