Unfold Holdem

Unfold Holdem

Every player pays an ante the size of the small blind. This we will call the "Unfold pot"

Then after flop dealt, every player who has folded gets chance to re-enter the hand by paying a fee the same size of the Unfold pot

Play then continues as normal

Thoughts?

I noticed it a few days ago. Brings in a different type of metagame. So in a nutshell you can fold your entire range in any position. The blinds have even a bigger disadventage given their position. In a nutshell you can pull off decent bluffs on HJ, CO and Btn on crappy boards.
Not sure if it warrants extra for raising preflop playing the SC like 78s etc preflop to avoid those.

Yeah unfold bluffs in late pos post-flop could work for sure

Certainly makes it kinda pointless to raise more than the Unfold Pot pre-flop though, as calling is more expensive than unfolding for opponents. And forget 3-bet/4-bets! ......Under the assumption unfold is always available (regardless if only 1 person in the pot...where you wouldnt normally see a flop)
