Hello WereBeer. Thank you for your feedback.
Nil Poker is the most skill-based card game there is (that one person can play by itself against others). Also, it is not hard to play and a lot of people knows how to play the game. Actually the rare game that meats all things mentioned above is poker(52-card deck). So i have to prove now that nil poker is more skill-based than poker(52-card game).You can play nil hold´em, nil omaha,… All those variants played with Nil Poker Playing Cards are more skill-based that classic poker variants. The easiest way to prove this(there is many ways to to this). Lets take one of the easiest poker variants to understand, i am talking about texas hold´em over nil holdem… Two persons are playing poker. Person A goes all-in every hand preflop. Person B is making selection of hands that will call with person A´allin(this hole hands are for example: every pair and 2 cards over 10). The amount of chips that person B will have over 1000 hands played in nil hold´em is bigger than the amount of chips person B will have while playing texas hold´em. This is just example of preflop options. The same thing is true for all the flops, turns, andr rivers (with a modification what is good hand for person B). The same goes for other variants: Nil Omaha,…
While adding raise, bluff and fold option to any game you get some kind of skill-based card game. All these options become even more valuable(more skills required) because of bigger chances of winning with the best hand at Nil Poker against poker(52-card deck),…
The main reason people forget is that only every fifth card will be nil card(only 20 percent of possibility to get nil card) on average.
I can not agree that this game will be boring.. Here are just couple of examples why:
- You can allways bluff, over-play oponnent,... if you are good. I think this means more bluffing and more hero-calling in general at nil poker,.. Also, everybody like to brag about bluffing and hero-calling in general - more of this at nil poker.
- if you add nil cards to poker deck… Slighty less percent for hitting good hands( i mean really slighty percent), this means that hands that are not so good in poker(52-card deck) will gain some strenght in nil poker(for example second pair on board(this is just example, so you can imagine better what i mean). If nil cards are added that does not necesarally means that you would play less hands(some cards will have more value in nil poker than they have in poker(52-card deck)).
I make a lot of calculations about everything while fouding this game – nil poker. And it really all adds up so perfectly. Perfect game in my opinion.
