duplicate poker

has anyone tried this out.....thought and oppinions appreciated.

Seems like this kind of poker game could have serious problems with collusion. If you sit at seat 6 at one table and your friend sits at seat 3 at another table, you will always know seat 3's hole cards. If they eliminate the collusion factor, I don't think many bad players would be attracted to this type of poker, but that's just my thought at the moment.

this duplicate poker stuff came out a couple yrs ago I think and has been discussed a couple times in here.
Obviously this game hasn't exactly been wildly popular.

agree + i don't really see how luck gets eliminated. if i call allin on a draw against the odds, this could be a very bad play that get rewarded when the draw hits. all other good players will fold correctly, and i not. so how does actually skill is rewarded?
