A poker version of Super6?

Hi everyone

We're sure many of you are familiar with Super6, the free to play game where you can win £250,000 (up to £1m some weeks!) by predicting scores in the football. In fact a few weeks ago, someone won £250,000 by winning this, all for nothing!

So, heres a thought - if there was a poker version of Super6 how would you design it? What would be the format and what would you need to do to win it?

It would obviously have to be quite tough to win without being impossible. Think like the Sky Poker Jackpot but a bit tougher (with it being free).

Let's assume its free to play and top prize is £100,000.

Thanks

    Pick 6 tournamets and pick what hand the winner has that wins it i.e. high card/one pair/2 pair/3 of a kind etc etc. One pair might be too popular an answer/result though!

    Needs to be something that's easily checked so something like winners of the bigger MTTs would be easy thanks to GaryQQQ's thread.

    This idea would certainly be very tough but it might lean more towards impossible lol...

    People have to pick 7 names and these need to be the 7 ME winners of the week. If you wanna keep it to 6, then just choose 6 of the MEs (imo the one to exclude is the Turbo Tuesday just cos it's even harder to try and pick who will win that).

    Now that idea is virtually impossible.... what might be easier but still very hard would be to work to a similar system as above, people pick 6/7 (whatever u decide) names, and these 6/7 people have to FT the ME.

    To make it not insanely hard, you don't have to match names with specific MEs so an entry would just be like....

    This week I think TommyD, MattBates, Rancid, Geldy, Jac35, MeWillows and Dohhhhh (lol) will FT a ME.

    Then all 7 of them HAVE to FT one of the MEs that week. Do-able but still very very hard.

    Do I get the first 100k for the idea? ;)

    Cos there's 169 starting hands :p

    Would be a 1in169 shot X 1in169 shot X 1in169 for 6-7 MEs... you got better odds (by a country mile) of winning the lottery lol

    Name the 3 cards to appear on the first flop on your table in a given tournament.

    You'd have about a 1/130,000 chance of predicting them all correctly and if that's too much value then getting them all in the right order would approach 1/800,000

    Better yet - cards that make the board of last hand of a main event? 

    Ignoring suits gives odds of over 1/500,000

    Odds on getting super 6 right is going to be in the region of 10/1^6 probably more, so upwards of 1m/1 shot

    Add suits to my idea-this would take odds well over the 1million mark!

    I imagine a lot less people would enter a poker super 6 rather than a football super 6 so having the odds slightly reduced shouldnt matter too much.  This is why I like this suggestion best at the moment.

    I like Lamberts idea you could also give points 1-6 for finishing places if you needed tie breakers.

    Yes but for this to work youd need to know whos actually playing which you wont fully know til late registration has closed.

    And by then you'd already have eliminated a load of players.

    Not sure I could see that ever working.

    with super 6 we can a lot of the time get 1 result right as their we just picking a number between 7-0 for each team the biggest difficulty is getting all 6 correct

    in each of the main events what about predicting the highest and lowest card to come on the board in the very last hand of them events

    largest card & lowest card Monday 

    largest card & lowest card Tuesday

    largest card & lowest card Wednesday

    largest card & lowest card Thursday

    largest card & lowest card Friday     

    largest card & lowest card  Saturday

    largest card & lowest card sunday

    all can be from the last hand of the main events and the prize is for getting all them corrct

    i'm guessing super6 is not just meant to be a lottery - sure for some, but others who understand such things - gazza - can use some skill

    guessing cards is purely random - no skill - like an allin sat - not very poker at all

    so far loving lambie's suggestion - could use total number of cashes over a week as a tie-breaker

    I like Lamberts idea, HOWEVER, if Sky are putting up £100k they are wanting to attract NON - Sky players?  In fact, NON poker players?   I know a few people who play Super6 who know NOTHING about football! 
     My idea would be to guess the number of players in the main each day of week.  so Mon = 133, Tues= 231 etc (You could have it to the nearest 5 or 10 to increase/decrease the probability?) Tie-breaker = What time does the primo finish?
    Jobs a goodun!

    Why not have a Super 6 tournie at a certain time each week. (Freeroll  or low stakes to get a big entry)

    People would have to enter by a certain date/time one or two days before the tournament takes place.

    List of entrants then posted on the forum and people would have to select the six players who Final Table before the tournie starts. 

    The tie break could be how many hands played in the tournie.

    Gives two lots of interest, the people who want to play in it and the people who want to guess the result.

    Not a poker expert so dont know if it would work but thought it worth putting forward.
