Re: Deconvolve luck from the game?
It looks like the mod deleted an *account*, either for spamming multiple forums with the same thing or for being overtly commercial. Mod may not have even looked to see what threads OP posted to.
OP proposed a game wherein the money contributed on each street is segregated, and at the showdown, the money for each street is distributed according to who was ahead on that street. Simple example: KK vs AA heads up, Kxx flop, x turn, A river. Instead of pushing the whole pot to the set of aces, in this game a) 80% of the preflop money goes to AA, b) 90% of the flop money goes to KK (AA has 2 outs twice), c) 95% of the turn money goes to KK (AA has 2 outs once now), d) 100% of the river money goes to AA.
OP's concept was to reward KK and punish AA for their decisions in the middle of the hand, even if the longshot draw came in on the end. The odd feature of the game that we are complaining about is that under OP's rules, the set of kings has so much pot equity that he can call a significant river bet with 0% chance of winning the river pot, to avoid losing his claim to the flop and turn pots.
