If you could change one thing in the poker world, what would it be ?

My answer: one tournament is not enough for a world champion title (live and online), there has to be a series of tournaments...anybody can win in a single tournament (luck factor)

Get rid of the flush, then the any 2 suited card monkeys will have to play a decent game instead of relying on luck.

They should double or triple the buyin for the WSOP main event so there would be fewer amateurs, more pros at the final table.

Hmmm, yeah casinos in every state sure would be nice. Also, I'm a little surprised no one mentioned ending all the debate about the legality of online poker and the UIEGA. Get that mess straightened out so we can get more quality sites that will accept US players.

If I could change anything about poker, I would probably change the fact that you are allowed to wear things like hoodies, sunglasses, and hats. I feel like a large part of poker (live anyway) is reading people and wearing these types of items is almost like cheating.

I think it would be interesting to see how the sunglasses people play without them.

I would make online poker legal at the Federal Level (in the USA) and that would take care of problems like the one in Washington State.

As the saying goes there has to be one in every crowd or in this case every state.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

I've been saying this forever. Everyone laughs at me but I really think it would put more skill back into the game and that J8s would be mucked as it should be instead of calling my AA 4-bet.

Make a straight ranked higher than a flush. For Hold'em anyway. I've never done the math it just seems like it's harder to hit a straight in Hold'em rather than a flush. I'm probably wrong though.

I would make a rule that I win no matter what. Then I would be the best:eek:. Or at least the richest.

For Hold'em? I think it's closer than you might think.
Pretty sure it's in "Little Green Book"


What would I change in poker?
How about.... have your 80/20's hold 99% of the time... and when you get it in on flop as a 90% fav.,.. have it win 100% of the time, lol. (fk this 'longrun' BS!)

I'd have those girls on High Stakes Poker, you know those 2 really buxom blondes, be naked on TV. I'd also want the girls who bring the money out when it is heads up on WPT come out in see through lingerie.

I'd also want to see Casinos with brothels, massage parlors and strip clubs in them.

Curious..... why would you want to get rid of 're-buy'????? This makes zero sense to me. Can you explain?

For me its simple... Never get bad beaten!! that is it.. i would prefer to lose when i was wrong but always win when im right rather then win a few by luck an lose loads by unlucky sucks.

(This basically includes villains who go for a long walk to the river to catch a fish aswell)
