Default Re: Anyone else like to see more NL SNGs?

That is what I meant. You said it much more artfully than I did.

But isn't that exactly what luck is? You are a skilled player that is being forced into preflop coinflips early when in a more skill-dependent game you might never have to do that, or at the very least you can wait until the end. That isn't useful IMO.

After all, poker can be structured to favor skill or luck depending on who you are trying to attract to a game. NLO8 negates the skill of postflop play, and the only skill that it rewards is the knowledge of what hands you should push with. And it promotes blind donkish aggression. That isn't the kind of poker that I want to play, and it isn't the kind of poker that I think we should promote.
