Tag Team Poker

  You have seen it in "Pro" wrestling, and marveled at the skill in which one wrestler sets up his opponent, tags in his partner, and steps back as his partner delivers the coup de grace. Well, here is your chance to do the same thing, although you don't have to wear a uni-tard to do it, nor be able to bench press a Buick. It's called Tag Team Poker, and it is starting to catch on at live major poker events - so no reason you can't do it at home.  If you have a fun group of players at your home game that would welcome something different, consider introducing them to Tag Team Poker. Tag Team Poker, but the way, is a great way to introduce new players to the game. New players don't have as much pressure to win and they can learn by watching over the shoulder of a more experienced partner.  Here is how it works you team up with a partner, and take turns playing cards. You each play a level and then rotate, and you get a special number of "tag chips" each. You can use a tag chip to tag out your partner if you think you can play a hand better, or if you notice he or she is on tilt. But you have to remember that by doing so, you run the risk of ruining a careful plan.  You can watch over your partner's shoulder (and should) but you can't talk about a hand.  Give it a try!
