My favourite idea would be: At the end of the hand everyone has to reveal what cards they got. Like this there would be more skill involved as lots of information is revealed about how people play.

What about ur idea to make live poker in casinos more skill based?

Ohhhhh... no no no no. I for one, would not participate at such a table. That's the beauty of poker - it's not always about playing your hand, it's about playing the player, your position, etc. Showing all cards at the end would be giving my opponents much too much information.

This could be a fun concept though for beginners. Kind of like when you are teaching friends/family a new card game, and you have a few practice rounds first to help them understand how it works. I have done this for home poker games, when people have no idea how to play.

NO There would not be more skill involved there would be less as information would easy to get, If you want every hand revealed you may just as well play one card turnover.

I get the premise as some sort of fun variant but I always remember the first time I folded a good hand and asking the guy what he had “you gotta pay to see” he said and for me that is an integral part of the game.

In my home game we sometimes play where you have to show one hand during the tournament when asked and it’s a lot of fun.

In live poker already the game is slower. I'd rather play more hands than waste time to show everyone the 2 3 not suited hand that I just folded. Also, let say, my draw doesn't get here and I bluff my opponent off his hand. Why would I want him to know what precise hands I had and how I play them? Why give out free information? There are no friends at the poker table.

More skill involved means worse tables/fewer fish.
Think about the extreme version of this, the ultimate skill game - chess, for example. It becomes very easy to say who's better, and a worse player would be better off playing blackjack.
