I was watching HSP for the 1,000th time and it was the episode where Gabe Kaplin played and Daniel Negreanu took his spot in the commentary booth and Gabe said something along the lines of "I'd be the best in a game where we could all see the hole cards" as a joke and it put a new game in my head so here it goes...
Never tried to play it so don't know how it would play out but here are the rules
"Face up Holdem"
Each player is dealt their cards face (down) none of the players are aloud to look at their cards.
The first player to act (UTG) first has two decisions, 1.) to look at his/her cards, if the player looks at his/her cards this player must then put their cards face up so everyone can see...
2.) Player can decide not to look at his/her cards (I.E play it in the dark) this player does not have to show to the rest of the table.
After the player decides to look or not he/she can decide fold call raise like in a normal game..
If a player decides not to look he/she can not look till its his/her action again
so example I'm UTG and I decide not to look and raise everone folds except the BB who calls in the dark also,
The flop comes out and the BB bets (still in the dark) I can now decide to look and show or to continue in the dark.
Other example I'm UTG I again decide not to look I raise folds to the BB who re raises in the dark. I can decide to look and show or to keep playing in the dark.
Position an already huge advantage will become an even bigger edge in this game.
All rights to this game belong to me I created it so if ya steal it I'll sue you =) lol
