Fixed odds roulette wheel to settle all in coups?

edited November 2011 in Area 51

Loads and loads of posts lately in A51 & BBV, where people are astounded at the way they lose hands.

It seems that people find it hard to deal with how a hand is dealt after all the money goes in.

For example, if AK goes all in and is called by 55, the board could run out A K T 6 5, and there will be a post from someone cursing their luck etc.

Maybe if everytime an all in situation arises, rather than deal the cards out, it could be settled by the use of a virtual, un-rigged roulette wheel.

The respective equities are shown on screen for each player, in the above example, 1 player would have approc 52%, the other 48%

The roulette wheel would contain 100 numbers 1-100 (obv).

The guy with pocket 5s, his avatar would turn black. As would the numbers 1-52.

The guy with AK's avatar would turn red. As would numbers 53-100.

The wheel would then spin, and land randomly on red or black, and the chips would move over to the winner.

How would people of A51 feel about this?

If this was a real option on the site, would you chose to use it?
