1. Double or Nothing Tournaments
- can either cap this tourney or first round could possible start with between 2-10 players, if its capped then most likely would fill and there would be 10 players at first table
- if it were capped it would look something like 2,560 players max, 10 at every table. top 5 move on to second round like a shoot out. second round would start with 1280 players, and so on down to final table of 10 where top 5 split rest of prize pool. could probably have 320 or 160 people get paid.
2. (this one is kind of crazy but would be interesting)
-hyper turbo knockout bounty only.
-the only buy in is your bounty, so say its $10 buy in, that $10 is all bounty, so for everybody you knock out you get $10 from them.
*could also play with this a bit but at least 50% of prize pool should be bountys. sucks when bountys are only like 20%.
what do you guys think?
Ive got a friend who came up with a bunch of sicko ideas for tournaments, like:
-EV Tournaments
Whenever players are all in, the pot is divided up exactly based on EV, e.g. AKo vs QQ aipf the guy with QQ would win ~55% of the pot.
-Negative SNGs
e.g. a 6max, buy in for $3.25. 6th pays $11.70, 5th plays $6.30, the other players bust out. It'd make for sick sick play, we never did quite figure out how it'd work except there'd be a lot of checking lol. Pot odds would work in reverse - if someone bets tiny you dont want to call because of the risk youll win that big pot, whereas if they pot it you can call because you only need to be bad a small % of the time for it to lose you chips!
-ICM sickfest
Something sick like a $100k buy in, 101 players. 101st gets no money, the other 100 make $1000 o__o
I'll post more as and when i remember them lol!
i actually like the idea of the ICM sickfest, althought a 100k tourney will pretty much never happen, and i like DON's, but don't you wish that 6-7 could cash instead of 5/10. maybe something like 10person where top 7 split, or just big tournaments say like 1,000 entrants, $100 buy in and top 70-90% cash and split the prize pool.
-the 100k one would be sick cuz it would pretty much be retarded to ever raise until everybody gets short stacked because the correct play would basically be to fold everything.
-negative sngs would be funny, i'm pretty sure that most players would be all in on the first hand though. once one person shoves, anybody with garbage hand will call, then when two are allin basically the rest have to call. *this one would be tough to get started going on a site.
overall i like the idea of icm sickfest but needs to be altered
ev tournaments would be interesting also, you could build pots and shove nut flush draws, or just draws all day long as long as you couldn't already be drawing dead and either pick up the pots there or know you are at least going to get a percent of it and not be out. would be tough to get busted from these tourneys.
yeah lol it'd be pretty fucking impossible to bust from the EV tournament even shoving pre; i guess if you were below a certain "minimum" (e.g. 5% or less to win) then it could be ruled that you win none of it which'd make it easier for people to go out.
with the negative SNG thing yeah if 3 people are all in then everyone else has to call, and with two it becomes very attractive to call and try to go out lol. The problem is if there's a shove in front its a pretty attractive proposition to fold since you don't want to risk doubling up, and this way also the guy who shoved scoops up the blinds and decreases their chance of going out.

true but at low buy ins this wouldn't happen. somebody with another bad hand would call then everybody would basically have to call after that.
yeah lol obv :P
i tried this out live with a bunch of friends and one of them panicked when they flopped top two and thought shoving would be a great plan to fold us out and avoid winning more (??). I obv snapped him off with the 4 high and doubled him, it was ludicrous.
more of a new sng idea. same structure as a double or nothing except the chip leader when it ends receives more money. say it was a $10 one, without rake to make it easy for me winner would receive $15 profit and the other 4 would only profit $8.75. you could play around with the percents a bit. these would be a bit crazy because play at bubble would be much more loose and have big stacks going at each other instead of staying away from each other.
your just coming up with ways of making your games more profitable mate 
go ahead and post any good ideas that you might have aswell.
