Duplicate Poker

[Zybomb]

Anyone hear anything about this / have opinions on it / try it out?

For those that dont know about it , its a poker game where you are playing against at least 1 other table of players. Every player at each table gets dealt the same cards as the player at other tables in their corresponding seat (for instance table one seat 1 gets dealt KJ, thus each seat 1 at every table gets dealt KJ) etc etc. Each flop at every table is the same and each turn and river is as well

The hand then plays out and your Net Total Dollars is recorded (i/e you win 100 dollars in hand one so your net is 100, then you lose 20 in hand two, now its 80 etc). Each hand you start with the same number of chips (say 10,000) regardless of your last hand.

Im not positive on how eliminations work, but I believe they occur when a player has - 3x the buy in, in net dollars (- 30,000 in this case) or different levels may be set and given time increments (i.e after 40 min X number of players r cut)

The intent is to take the luck out of poker, since all players you are playing against will be involved in the exact same decisions you will against the same cards. For instance if you get coolered KK vs AA its probably not a big deal bc your opponents will be in this same cooler... but if you know to VB the river on a questionable board and your opponents do not you can net more chips. Although you are playing with the ppl at your table, you are competing against others at other tables in your seat, not players at your table (although they do matter bc how good or bad they are influences you getting called or them folding to your bets etc)

Love to hears peoples thoughts on this
