Need Better Game Option

[flolem]

I know i should post the suggestion in the bug section but I am lazy and wanted to have other opinion first too.
Also because im not an expert of poker lol

Game end
Not sure many body use the 'limited nubmer of hans' specially at low numbers..
I mean playing 5 hands: Skill edge disappears, and it just becomes push all in/fold and make everything based on luck at this point

Would like an option to stop the game when there is 2/3 players remaining... like it could exist real life where people share the jackpot based on their chip amount.

Blinds increase frequency
In real life, that generally time based. well hard to do that in turn based, but for live game, could have been an option. I guess the number of hands is okay. Also, that instantly increase if one player is eliminated.
I know with IRL friendly game, many use like a rule of: increase each time the dealer button did one complete round is an option too.

but where most of people complains is not even an option:
Blinds increase structure
right, now that double each time WHICH is the worst.
IRL it never happens, at least not for the whole game.

typical structure:

25 / 50
50 / 100
75 / 150
100 / 200
150 / 300
200 / 400
300 / 600
400 / 800
500 / 1,000
600 / 1,200
800 / 1,600
1,000 / 2,000

So maybe have an option to choose the increase (like 1.25, 1.50, 2) or implement a smooth curve.
OR implement a max limit which could be an option as well.

then we can add 'Ante' if we want to maximise pot size.


Also, maybe add an option of the initial Blinds would be good as well.
Which goes with:

Initial amount of chips
Why not... but instead of choosing an amount... it should be based on the other option I talk in previous paragraph:
Choose initial blind, max limit blind and increase rate of the blind structure.
Then we have option like quick game, regular game, long game... which automatically change the initial pot size based on the other parameter.

I agree there should be an option to collectively decide to terminate the game when only 2 or 3 players remain in the "limited number of hands" setting.

I just had a game with a number of players going all in the first few hands. By the 5th hand only 3 players remained with chip distribution somewhere close to:

Chip leader: 800 chips
2nd player: 300 chips
3rd player: 100 chips

For the remaining 15 hands it was literally garbage time. Chip leader / 2nd player folded every single hand to "lock up" the chips (which was the right play) and there is nothing the 3rd player could do.

I mean once we've got a chip distribution like this the game should be over. It would help if there is an option for the remaining 3 players to vote and terminate the game early.

Or alternatively, if the game is more like a cash game format, where players could rebuy and the final ranking depends on the cumulative winnings. In this format the chip leader would not be able to ensure a win by locking up the chips.
