Duplicate poker

[Tilt]

Has anyone ever heard of a duplicate poker game, like they do with duplicate bridge?

You would have two tables (or more) in separate rooms. Each seat would get "dealt" the same cards as the other tables had. The same board would get dealt out per hand as in the other room. The objective is to beat the player in the same seat as you in another room, who had the same cards to play.

That would take the luck out of it. Your bad beats are the bad beats your actual opponent took. It would be all about your relative ability to outplay your table.
