Hypothetical New Rule

[RocketManJames]

What if in limit hold'em, the two burn cards constituted the "pot" hand? Here is how it would come into play...

If there is a showdown, then the pot-hand is shown down along with the rest of the showdown hands. If it wins, then the winner only wins 1/2 the pot, and the other half remains for the next pot. If no showdown, then the "pot" hand does not play.

2 questions:

1) Would this increase action, because every once in a while, there'd be a "kill" pot?

2) How would strategy change in this new game, if at all?
