Would this rule change to poker make it not count as gambling
Basically the game would be identical to poker except that when players went all-in, rather than dealing out the rest of the hand and determining a winner, each player would recieve the percentage of the pot that they would win in the long run.
ie. Any all-in would be a fixed payout based on the expected value of that players hand rather than a random event based on drawing the remaining cards from the deck. Example: AK and 33 go all in preflop, no cards are dealt, AK gets 48% of the pot 33 gets 52%. This would have no strategic impact on the gameplay of poker assume players are attempting to maximize their EV so it would preserve all the strategy that makes poker a great game, however it would be very hard to define this game as gambling. Payoffs never depend directly on a random event in this setting. |
