Re: Hypothetical New Rule
It would probably make heads up "pre-pot" battles either -ev or significantly lower ev. Think about it. You're betting and raising your way to the river against one opponent and, when you show down against him, you suddenly find you're only winning half the pot. In other words, you're getting your own money back (minus the rake, of course). The money you fought so hard to win is still sitting in the center waiting for someone else to claim it.
