I see no reason to change anything in poker. Unless I would oblige the player going all in to show his hand. Even if there was no distribution of cards for flop, turn, river. And even if the going all in in took all the chips without opening the cards.

In live play, I would change the rule, that you have to bet the nuts on the river if you are not last to act. I think this rule coasts you a few big pots because some players will bet river if you check it to them from early position. In online play I would change the rules that in showdown all players have to show both of there cards. This will cut down on some of the bad play, if players have to show what they are playing in what position. Plus it gives away information on each play which will effect how each one plays to some degree. I would like to see if he was calling with air or trying to out play me when I catch there bluff on the river.

In live poker: No phones, no masseuse, no sunglasses, scarfs, hats or any kind of additional shit that players use to hide their emotions. The joy of live poker is to analyse your opponents face, moves, reactions but it is getting kind of impossible right now, because everyone is using some kind of "protection". I would like to see shot clock of 30 seconds on every tournament after 3 or 4 minutes of making decision, because some players are using 10 or even more minutes to make some decisions. I know someone tournament life is in risk and stuff like that, but still some players take so much time to make some decisions.

Id say, in order for 2 pair to count you have to pair BOTH your hole cards.

I think that the rules of the game are not worth changing, I would change only some of the rules of the tournament (for example, take a break from the late stage of 10 minutes) and would forbid using mobile devices during the game on live events

The obvious, 3 pairs to beat 2 pairs for example. I have pocket 5's and my opponent has AK and the boards is 667 7 3. The high card ace would take it not taking into consideration you have a pair.

I would think of a new rule that would prevent people from stealing blinds. I haven't know yet what exactly it would be, but I will think about it. It's a really disgusting thing nowadays, lots of players are hunting for your blind, especially at pokerstars. Sometimes it reminds me a little bit of robbery. Some poker rooms already thought about it, for example 888 poker have presented Flopomania recently, where there are no blinds to steal. Also I've read a news article which states that guys from Pokerstars are thinking about this problem as well.

Hola amigos, si pudiera cambiar una regla de poker, ¿qué haría? ... Yo, por ejemplo, sería ciego en algunos torneos

If I could change a rule is that I would like to have all-in have an option of running the board twice to three times.

Last time I checked, you do NOT have to bet the nuts on the river unless you are last to act.

Why do we want to cut down on some of the bad play?

I can guarantee you that even as much as Pokerstars shows they are nothing thinking in the best interest of 'the players' (reward program gone for a sh1t, rake increases, etc.) they are not going to be looking for what you're suggesting here. It is ridiculous.


Suggestion > Learn to adapt. "Adjust" to the players & the situation. (ie. try 3-betting vs. them with a much wider range. If you feel their late position raises are B.S. (loose steals) take advantage of this.

no more than 2 allins in a row until the final table, keeps the bingo players in check.

I do not think it would be a good idea, it would be action to the table
