Emerging New Concepts in Poker Tournaments

Stan Sludikoff was another presenter at the First Annual California Poker Players Conference last month. Prior to his presentation, he recorded a brief interview with keynote speaker Mike Caro. One of the things they discussed was the emerging new concepts in poker tournaments.
 
What we’ve seen is an obvious trend toward one poker game. Texas Hold ‘Em is the game everyone wants to play, but it really doesn’t determine who the best player is. There are a lot of other games out there. 
 
In the future we’ll probably see an event where five different games are played. The best poker player in the world should not just be determined by one game, but many. There should be more than one type of game in a tournament to test the skills of individual. Luck has become too big of a factor in today’s tournaments.
