Poker Pro Suggests Radical Changes to Encourage More Action


Tom 'tombos21' Boshoff, a seasoned poker player, has suggested several changes to the structure of poker games to encourage more action and entertainment. One of his key proposals is to remove the small blind, which he believes will make the game more exciting.

Boshoff also suggests using a single blind instead of multiple blinds. He argues that this change will make the optimal strategy more loose, encouraging players to take more risks and engage in more action.

Another proposal from Boshoff is to add large antes to the game. He believes that this will create a larger pot, encouraging players to fight for it and take more risks. This change, he argues, will make the game more entertaining and engaging for both players and viewers.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
