New Cash Game Formats

[LoonieToonie]

Hello everyone i've been pondering a new cash game idea for some time now and would like to share it with u all and get your thoughts on it. So everyone knows how popular bounty tournaments have become across all poker sites this is were my idea stems from. So how it works is simple everybody at the table would pay a ante along with the blinds, example 5 cent 10 cent with a 2 cent ante the antes will be set aside from the main pot. The player that win the hand will win the pot like normal and receive the antes in the form of a bounty which would be locked in for the rest of the players poker experience. How to win another players bounty is simple get to showdown and win the hand.

thoughts please

Good players bounty will increase one BB every won hand. After a couple wins in a row it will give worse players incentive to play looser and chase draws untill the river which will skyrocket good players win rate. Recs and bad players will play bounty format worse than normal cash. There is also incentive to quit the table after a couple wins to secure the bounty.

The main problem is that whenever your bounty is bigger than the average bounty at the table you have incentive to quit in order to cash out the bounty. It would be a great variant for live games though since quitting a live table is  a much bigger step.

when a player quits the table he does not get the bounty it stays with him for the rest of his poker experience. when he rejoins a new table the bounty moves with him it can only be one at showdown by another player

the bounty can never be cashed out it stays with the player until they lose at showdown so if a player is able to not lose a a hand for a week straight at 4nl it is possible that a players bounty can be bigger then there  starting stack
