New Poker Game Invention

[Yo_Respek]

I have come up with a great idea for a new type of game for an online site. I have emailed PokerStars and just emailed FullTilt because I would like to be compensated if they use my idea. It's truely brilliant. I was curious though if anyone has a contact at one of the big sites that could help me get a fair deal.

What's so great about your idea? Do you understand what goes into making a game "great?"

[Yo_Respek]

I just want to be careful about what I say. I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel here. Let's just say it gives everyone what they want. It's extremely fun and allows tons of action. It gives an excellent player options to avoid variance and gives the gamblers/fish a great experience.

i know his idea. its texas holdem without the river card. Therefore, great players can never complain about being "rivered" anymore. How uncool does it sound to tell someone you got "turned." Brilliant ide, i want half of all possible profits.

How is it possible for it to allow excellent players to avoid variance and still give gamblers/fish a great experience? Something tells me that you don't have a clue.

The vast majority of poker players think they are winners, but are actually losers, your game probably has to be designed in a way to maintain that illusion to make it popular, variance is a very important part of the build-up of that illusion.

Don't listen to nay-sayers, Yo Respek.

I didn't know anything about music when I invented the two-necked guitar, so I was talked out of mass-producing it.

Am I rich, now? Well, yes, but not from selling two-necked guitars.

By invented, it sound like you actually created it. That's pretty impressive. I rarely take conceptual ideas that far.
