    All the hate generated by Full Tilt's Rush concept had me thinking of what I would do differently to "enhance" online poker. After a few hours of watching cards fly on and off the screen, I came up with only one idea. The idea being called "King of the Stack"(I know, not original considering that huge ad banner for Bodog has that). The idea being that like normal SnGs and MTTs, everyone would buy in for say $20. However, instead of busting out, the player would respawn after losing an all in kind of like Halo. The event would be timed for say, an hour or however long it is and the winners would be the kings of the stacks. It would probably be one of the most intense games in the history of poker. Imagine the bubble as players desperately try to climb there way up in chips to overtake the reigning king. I know traditional players are going to bomb this thread and see me as a communist trying to instill Marxist ideas into their feeble minds. However, I was just having fun thinking of different ways to make this game not a "grind" and make it more fun. Anyone else ever had crazy ideas?

    i think op is saying whoever has the most chips after 60 minutes win and if you bust out you get a starting stack? so basically it's a rebuy tournament that ends after the rebuy period.

    Basically its one buy in but unlimited supply of chips, the people who build the biggest stacks win, if 1000 people play, 100 pay, and it's paid out based on final chip count
