Awesome idea. I know I could win most tournaments if I didn't keep getting [censored] blinded off

If they make this game I'm going to become a poker author and write the definitive text on the game.

I'll call it "Only Play Aces".

if someone could give a good reason why this isn't a great idea, i'm all ears

without their being forced action to try and win, there isn't any reason to play hands besides the nuts

Actually, only playing Aces would be a losing strategy against anyone who is vaguely good at intellectual thought.

NO

i did have this theory once but i kinda proved it didn't really do much...i tried like 5K hands of micro stakes...where every time the BB came to me i sat out...and returned to action in the cutoff...posting the BB and SB there...it has to be a full table or you miss way to many hands...but missing the button winnings outweighed the SB and BB loses the other way

Depends on what kind you are playing. In NL there is no strategy that beats "1. wait until you get AA 2. push all in"

if your going to get rid of the blinds then why dont you get rid of the cards as well.. what you do in this new game is you have to think of two cards write them down.. then the dealer just thinks of the board and you show what you wrote down and then it will be awesome

True enough in the sense your strategy isnt exploitable but its very easily neutralised

There is no chance people would play with you for one, and even if they do youd never get paid off whatsoever. The preflop action in a game like this would almost always go check check check flop. So even if someone opens it which would almost never happen, you shove all in and they fold assuming they dont have the odds to draw to a set with their KK.

So if you adjust to them not giving you action you need to play across more than one betting round - at which point your hand is face up and everyone knows exactly where you are.

Provided the stacks were deep enough i could play anyone heads up with any two cards and them always have AA and i should show a long term profit because i can play every single decision 100% perfectly.

Of course, there will always be fish and you might show a small profit on a table of fish, but with one clever shark in a full table of 10 he should crush you long term even if all he does is tell the fish to not call when you shove all in and to check preflop so you cant steal their raise if you wake up with AA.
