It would negate the value of pre-flop positioning so much that amateurs would have a shot again. More entropy would be good for the growth of NLHE.

I'd go to the casino to play late night UNO on the reg, ha ha.

You'd see fewer threebets, but they'd almost always get called. I'm not sure why you'd want that, but I don't understand why anyone wants to play NLHE anyway so I'm not the one to ask.

3bet ranges would be tighter and the sizings would be larger. As a result, 3bets wouldn't "almost always get called". Just because SB/BB are OOP in a regular game doesn't mean that 3bets from these positions almost always get called.

3bet ranges are scarce already in most low stakes games.

The question goes for Limit Holdem and other button games as well. (Also the blinds would be reversed.)

I strongly disagree with almost all the feedback on here. Button maintains position post flop which is implied in their raise pre. So button (utg) and earlier positions would be opening wider.

The debate should be about whether MP 3b frequencies would increasr as well to combat those opens despite not having the advantage of being in position.

What might happen is bigger 3b's and less postflop play. However I do see the overall action being greatly increased. I think it's an ok idea.

Add Tournament rule:

Starting stack 50k

Blinds start at 5k/10k and decrease every level until they get to 25/50 on day 5 and average stack is a million BB's

even if there are strategic merits it'd be way too confusing to rec players and dealers. and I don't think the strategic merits are very strong
