Yet ANOTHER sample thread - Hitching Post kill button (2 Viewers)

[Mental Nomad]

I was thinking about putting a live long horns head on it

I like that, but then the colors are pretty similar. Maybe if the skull version were a bleached white, instead?

I know it still has to go well with the epicness that is the Hitching Post, or I'd propose a raging red bull for the Kill side.

Your avatar says two pair, but I only see one. Looks like it will hold up though.

In for 2

I do not understand this thing you call "kill". But I am in for one.

It's an option in limit games

Kill also applies on scoops in split pot games.

Never seen that before. How does it work?

 

[moose]

O8 for example, if you scoop, the next pot is a kill.

I know Kills are most common in limit games, but is there any compelling reason not to play NL with a Kill? Wouldn't it serve similar roles in NL?

Granted, the person who posts a kill in Limit is often getting drawn into a hand with inferior cards because of their blind bet, and this effect isn't as strong in NL, where the first person to bring it in is like to bump it substantially... but the same effect is in play, albeit weaker.

And the "boosting the level of the game" effect is still there for novelty and excitement.

Seems much like an involuntary out-of-position straddle.

I don't know. That's a question for smarter people than me.

Some pics from last night's 3/6 O8 game.

Interesting question came up from last night's game.

What is the origin of calling it a 'kill'?

I always assumed it was to "kill" the momentum of a player on a heater. No clue if that's accurate though.

I see everyone paid but I didn't receive payment info? Too late?

 

[Mr Tree]

Not at all. I still don't have the revised art so this is still open. I will send you the payment info

 

[pltrgyst]

Ii'd like one, please. Thanks!

 

[Mr Tree]

Ii'd like one, please. Thanks!

Sending you payment info. I'm still waiting on J5 to mock up a kill vs no kill side. Also going to have "The Hitching Post" on the rolling edge

 

[Mr Tree]

Front and back of the button. The rolling edge will also read "The Hitching Post"

I'll close out orders on Friday if anyone else wants one.

Shutting this down tomorrow. If anyone else wants samples speak now.

 

[Forty4]

Yes I'll take one. Maybe this will start the llimit game.

 

[Mr Tree]

Ok so samples are shut off. Prototyping first so it might be over a month before these are finished and shipped.

 

[Mr Tree]

So, not sure how this happened but the one thing that did not come out right was the kill button. I'm confused because we used standard colors but somehow ended up with green buttons. These look like they were strains through spinach. I have an email in to GOCC seeing if we can rectify this.

I cant see the green, might be my monitor, but looks pretty close to the mock up here.

Either way hope it gets sorted for you

 

[links_slayer]

^^ same here. might be the lighting and my monitor but doesn't look too terribly "off" to me?

 

[Mr Tree]

These things are GREEN. Here is a comparison. The Browns and tans should be the exact same shade in both.

Your steer has "Died of Dysentery"

 

[Ben]

Not seeing the green here either, but definitely a sickly gray.

RIP Mr. Tree. Your party failed to reach the Willamette Valley.
