The ultimate format for a holdem tournament for experienced players

as soon as wsop gets rid of all the fish, maybe they'll move to this format. i hear this is how they did it back in the day, before all the noobs started playing. [/sarcasm]

there's a reason why you should be able to overbet pre-flop. it's to make this a game of skill. playing a capped pot with 45s can't really be a mistake if you're risking very few chips preflop to stack someone off later.

your structure most definitely will increase action; i'm not sure that's the same thing as making it the "ultimate" structure for experienced players.
