If you could change one thing about Holdem what would it be?

lilpotato · Jun 21, 2019

Flushes would have no value!

Alex Sentsov · Jun 21, 2019

I'd cancel the stupid moves...I really don't know how to do that.

mulliongc · Jun 21, 2019

Three blinds instead of two. Say a 1,2,3 or 1,2,4. I would like to see how that would work out in real time instead of just in my mind.

freddydr87 · Jun 21, 2019

The most frustrating holdem rule for me is that 2 pairs at the board beat 2 pairs at hand exple
You have TT, vilan has AK
Board is JQ2JQ vilan wins with QQJJ A kicker
You louse with QQJJ T kicker,i hate that rule

I would get rid of speed games i think they harm the game by splitting the player pool to much.

Positively absolutely NO RIVER! I hate the River.

Interesting,,,,endless turn cards?

Hello.
I do not see the need for change. In my opinion everything is perfect.

KUN_AGUERO_KROOS · Jun 22, 2019

No 10-handed tables.

If 2 players went all in pre flop with the same cards (e.g. AA x AA) it is an auto tie, and there is no board.

You have to announce your made hand in order to win.

players eliminated after losing a 80/20 or better spot will get a bad beat reward and/or qualify into a freeroll.

it seems to me that in poker for a long time all came up to us and change something it is very hard for example how to change its rules if playing because of the day he still surprises you something new)

jappchop · Jun 22, 2019

lol the so called random 4 card boards with flushes and str8ts:fight:

ScottieDuncan · Jun 22, 2019

Cut the delay time down. Some clowns want to run their time limit out and fold.

I want to know what you would change about the game if you could. Any rule, anything. focus on one thing but feel free to include multiple.

I would change the single most frustrating aspect of this game. The one thing that has made me contemplate quitting all together.

- You MUST have TWO of that suit in your hand for it to be a Flush. (Maybe make it to where the only way to have the flush with one of that suit in your hand is if the whole board is that suit already)
I guess they would have to do something similar with straights but i would do anything to change the stupid one card flushes. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! lol

If I had the opportunity to change something in poker, it would be that the kicker cards are played the same way, then one player has the A8 and the other A9 has the A3572 cards on the table and he wins the senior kicker . Player A10 has another player AJ on the table AQK89 and he wins with senior kicker J, I’m for the kicker card to play the hand- equally, and I would also like- to change - so that in good tournaments on hold'em they remove the late registration which takes 2 hours each and- more- would do it in 20- 30-40 minutes for many players it was very good
!

BriceNice · Jun 23, 2019

Lol no I just mean 4 on the board. That 5th river card is an absolute death bringer. I equate it to 15 round boxing, its just too much for the human body to take

joker

I would not change anything in the game - as much as she is good. The only thing that I could add TO TEKHASS HOLD is the card joker. Its purpose is to replace any card you wish. But when it comes on the table, it just burns. That is, it can only be used in your hands . It would be very funny and unusual)))))

MAGICUZ · Jun 23, 2019

Straight was stronger flush

I would say flush lower than straight, I think straight requires more thinking/strategy but flush for me is pure luck, and they have this rule in 6+ holdem if I remember correctly

Flush beats straight for a reason - it is mathematically more difficult. That is why it changes in 6+ because it then becomes easier.

Where do you play that rule? I have played in over 20 poker rooms across North America, and none of them requires two of the same suit in your hand for a flush. Are you thinking of the bad beat rule in a poker room? If so, I see your point. If not, please explain where on this planet a five card flush MUST include two hole cards.

Omaha

but he wants that rule to be added

he's sick of being beat by 4 card flushes and one trash card of that suit in your hand.
I definitely hate it but wouldn't change it or anything

I would change how poker sites run the games though. I hate long late registrations with a passion

especially in low stakes tourneys. jmo

Thanks for clarifying Jay. I don't play Omaha. Flush draws are part of the game - nobody likes getting beat that way. I am with you - keep that rule.

GARCIA PABLO DANIEL · Jun 25, 2019

I would change the pot limit holdem that is always a no limit game that is pure !!!

It's not like I don't know that, it just frustrates me, because I see a lot flushes beating my straight

dark IPA · Jun 25, 2019

i think its unfair when A2-pairs higher then KQ-pairs, it would be nice the total "weight" of the pair is calculated as in black jack

Come and play Omaha and that will never happen

I don’t like how you can play the board
Let’s say board is AKQJT. No flush
You hold AA and villain holds AJ.
Board plays the pot is split with straight

57noona · Aug 11, 2019

I won't change anything about Holdem. I like it the way it is already. No need to change a good game at all.

If you could change one thing about Holdem what would it be?
