Re: reducing variance: the sklansky bux swap

stinky, the way to implement this is pretty simple. Simply have the poker software have a setting whether you want the money to be awarded according to all-in equity. Whenever all the players in an all in situation have turned on the setting, they split according to equity. I am sure a lot of higher stakes regulars would welcome such a feature (especially those playing heads up). On the other hand it would ruin the high stakes games for the donks that rail them.

that's crossed my mind before too.
one way it could be done to keep the fish smiling is to have the money on the table be won/lost the normal way, but to have a separate option to have money transferred to/from the other players as necessary, confidentially. you'd have to have enough in your account to cover it to be eligible.
obviously it would be tough to get any site to implemente this. full tilt might go for it if they right people ask for it though, who knows.
