Duplicate Poker

[hackers238]

Sounds a lot like Duplicate Bridge... (Does anyone here play bridge?)

Can you play this anywhere online / Casinos? I haven't heard of it.

(But yeah I think it sounds cool)

[Talking Poker]

I read about it. I think this is a weak attempt to come up with a legal form of online poker. Since you eliminate the chance (you are playing against the people in the same seat as you at different tables - and you are all playing the exact same cards), you make poker a skill game.

But that's stupid. If I get it all in with AA preflop and you fold yours, and I end up losing when 22 flops a set and you stay even, that doesn't make you the better player. Or what if I get it all in with KK and my opponent calls with AA while your opponent folds? I get stacked and you win a small pot. That also doesn't make you a better player than me.

Also, the game will either have to run increadibly slowly (hand for hand and more likely street for street), or you will have a major security risk. Even if you play street for street, you risk people at different tables sharing their hole cards.

I think it's a bad idea. It might make for an interesting experiment once or twice, but I don't think it would be very fun or very profitable.

I had an idea for a cash game sng type of thing. I will tell more about it after I get my patent so nobody steals my idea.

Aren't you in a band too?

They threw $10 into my account so I'll let you people know if it can be beaten.

I think it sounds like a cool idea. And couldn't you just play in seperate rooms to avoid the security risk? As far as the hands, couldn't you just prepare like a bazillion decks before hand that are organized the exact same way and do it that way?

here is a on that other forum, which recently "upgraded" to look more like this place.
