Double Board Bomb Pot
A double board bomb pot (often PLO) is a poker hand that starts with each player putting in a set amount of money into the pot, say $25 in a $2/$5 game. From there, each player is dealt a starting hand. There is no preflop action that follows. The dealer then deals out two separate flops and the action begins with the player left of the Button. From there, the game plays like PLO or Hold’em depending on the specific double board game you are playing. In addition to starting on the flop, the big difference with double board pots is the winner of each board gets half of the total pot. If one player has the best hand on both boards or takes down the hand with a bet, they win the whole pot. It’s a big bet split pot game.
