Some Features That Need to Make It into Online Poker
 

In cash games:

1. Live Straddle.
2. Run it twice.
3. Blind man's bluff variations on all games.

In tournaments:

Automated staking options so as to stake a tournament entry from another account, and auto-deduct from winnings according to predetermined split. For example, the ever popular 80/20 freeroll.

What else, NVG?

arguing about runnning it twice and crap like that would slow down the game so damn much

I think there should be tables where you get your EV when allin, obv only 2+2ers would play them, but it would definitely thin out BBV quite a bit.


Straddles + the staking option are both very good

It's an option you could autoset. If you had it set and so did the other guy, you'd run it twice. If either party did not have it set, the board would not be run twice. Seems pretty simple to implement to me.

While I would, in some situations, like to run it 2+ times...you would have to have make separate tables for it, and I just don't think it would be popular enough for any site to take the time to code it into their software


As far as the EV tables go (when the $ gets AI the hand ends and each player is awarded $ on an EV basis), it might seem like a reasonable idea, but it's really not, IMO.

Where does the FE come into play at these tables?

Most importantly...the worst players of nlhe, play the game for the excitement and entertainment. If there is literally no chance for the worst hand to win when the $ gets all in.....sweet [censored] what a nut peddling shark tank it would be....

straddle is a good idea, checking in the dard could be good too.

all in EV is an AWFULL idea, its just so stupid, its like a casino would put blackjack table where instead of being dealt card, the house just take their 0.5% edge on your bet.

Seriously, variance IS GOOD, keeps people playing.
