$10-$20 Limit, Let's Get This Party Started

At UltimateBet if you want to play at the party 10-20 table you definitely have to sit at Tatooine. I'm not sure if it's the Star Wars theme or what, but there always seems to be at least one if not several wild players at the table.

Take this actual hand for example:

All fold to dealer button who raises with T9o. BB Calls. Flop is 834. BB checks, Dealer bets, BB raises, Dealer reraises, BB caps. Turn is a ten (!). BB Bets, Dealer Raises, BB reraises, Dealer caps. River is a 5 (no flush) BB bets, Dealer Calls, BB shows A2o for the rivered wheel.

Now without getting into some futile hand analysis about what these two players were thinking the definite bottom line is that they were both providing some great action which you rarely see at the lower limits. I'm not entirely sure why this happens at the 10-20+ limits so much, but I'm sure part of it is the gambling aspect for what many people consider to be 'real' amounts of money (a large multiway 10-20 pot can hit $500)
