Some dumbass came with up with the same idea for cash games a while back.

It's a great idea if you want fish to experience zero variance and quickly discover how bad they are.

was just about to ask why I am the first to call this a level but you beat me to it.
Just assumed every other response was a level too. Too hard to figure out who's levelling who these days.

Why do I think that UB would be the first to add this to their site?

Actually, this idea isn't that horrible. If there are enough people interested, it wouldn't be that hard to set up.

You still have fold equity, because if the other person folds, you get the pot. If they call, you lose a huge chunk of the pot plus the new bet.

The only catch is when it gets shorthanded, you need some end-rule, like "if you can't post a blind, you are out of the tourney"

Not saying I like the idea, or that it will catch on, but a lot of successful ideas start off with many naysayers who can't think out of the box.

Play smaller tournaments if you suck so bad instead of wasting you and others time.
This is ridiculous idea, please scratch and move along.
Go play one HU with no blinds increase and you will want to gouge your own eyes out of your head . Same Diff with this idea.

I think this is an amazing idea, and will sweep the poker world. That said, I think OP needs to make two addendum's to his original idea.
1: If someone goes all in without looking at his hole cards, then at the time of his all in, he has a random hand. Therefore and equity calculation used on his hand shouldn't be his actual hole cards, but a random hand.
2: Rather than having people muck their cards, they just put them down. Then, every hand is turned up, even folded ones, and we calculate the equitys to include card removal effects.

#2 is the best because it helps you read peoples hands.

So frustrating, 2 overcards vs underpair or top pair vs flush draw + 2 overcards. I have come up with an idea to make coin flips less important in the outcome of your tournament end position.

So here is my revolutionary idea to make MTTs more of a skill game and less swingy:

The All-in-lock Multi-table tournament

The basic idea is, when you shove (all-in) and there is a call, no (extra) board cards will come, but the cards will showdown and the pot is distrubuted by the percentages of the cards and the chance of winning they have. So when there is an all-in, the board is locked.

For example: I have top pair top kicker on the turn and I put a guy on a flush draw, when I shove, he calls, I get 80% of the pot and he gets 20% (or 19.1% or whatever). No river will be dealt.

Or when 2 people are all-in preflop, just distribute the chips by the odds that they have (no flop).

So whenever you dont want to get drawn out, you just shove all in.

I'd like to know what you guys think of this idea and whether it has downsides which I havent thought of. Would you prefer my concept over a standard MTT?

Of course I do realize that this concept cant be called poker because its just too different and math is involved.

you dont like to get outdrawn.... LOLL then dont play donkament.... ohhh wait dont play poker at all
