It makes ya larf doesn’t it! Some time ago I suggested this format of the game to a group of people and got shot down instantly with comments such as, no one would ever want to play this game, it ruins the idea of poker etc. How short sighted they are and how I wish I had copyrighted it! Good luck to everyone looking at each other’s cards. Watch out for how dynamics of the game change as your bluffs get beaten every time!

well to be honest this format is kinda cool, it makes for more excitement, emotions and there is always something to watch at, you have way more fun from bluffing and seeing that your opponent has threw out a big hand. generally not a bad idea, especially when playing poker recreationally

I would suggest to this poker room and others to drop the awards in tournaments at the final tables because for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4-9th it's a big or good prizes and if they make this change, the gamblers may be more pleased. At a $ 1 million tournament with $ 215 entry the prize for 1st is 18% + and this means 187.821 and 30 cents for winner. Is two much for 1st and is not correct. About this tournament, i'm sorry for Damosk because you did not record this format on your name but good luck in future.
