Bomb Pot

How to play — step by step

1. Every player at the table posts an ante (typically 2× BB).
2. No preflop betting — cards are dealt straight to the flop.
3. Post-flop betting begins with the small blind acting first.
4. Turn and river play like a normal hand.

Stakes & formats

• Stakes: Runs on all NLHE and PLO cash tables
• Formats: Automatic every 20 hands, or on demand at private tables

Example hand

6-handed bomb pot, $1/$2 NLHE, $4 ante

• Preflop: 6× $4 antes = $24 pot. No preflop action.
• Flop (K♠ 7♠ 3♦): SB checks. Hero (BTN with A♠5♠, nut flush draw) bets $18. Three callers. Pot: $96.
• Turn (K♠ 7♠ 3♦ 2♠): Hero rivers the nut flush. Pot bets get called.

Result: Hero scoops a $500 pot with the nut flush.

Quick strategy

• Play the flop, not preflop equity — nobody folded.
• Draws are worth more with 6 players seeing the flop.
• Overbet the turn with nutted hands to build the pot.
