Ok, so it's been a while since double up stts were introduced to the poker world, and theyve proven pretty popular for a number of reasons...
Theyre quick, easy to win at, with low variance, and often with poor levels of play.
Theyre also great for multitabling, as you never get that common stt multitabling issue of being 3way or heads up and effectively missing out on stuff on other tables. The game stops with 3 or 5 left so you dont get this problem.
Chattin to a m8 who multi tables these all day, gets great rakeback, and is building a roll up nicely.
But had a thought this morning, that could improve them, without losing any of the good points...
Say the game stops at half the field left, same as normal. Whoevers left wins, same as normal.
But everyone wins according to their chip stack when the game stops. For example, a $20 double up 10 seater normally pays 40 to place 1-5. I reckon it would be a lot more fun if you got paid by stack, 5th gets 25, 4th gets 35, 3rd = 40, 2nd 45, and chippy takes 55.
so theres a decent encouragement not to be last out of 5 (ie limp into the money), and a decent recent to play a lot of hands and be chippy. thoughts anyone? obv the figures a changeable, but you get the gist...
