I was thinking the other day, and created a new ring game style for online or live poker.

I say so myself but its f***in amazing.

Ive emailed a very well known poker sites affiliate managers, and some big guy over there is phoning me tomorrow after reading my ideas for a further discussion as to what i want to do with it

im selling it of course. its patented and copywrited.

Now is the big one.

Do i sell it for a one off fee, or try and procure myself a % of all the rake from that game?

What would you do, and if they put the game on the site, its gonne be huge, i know it, and i think they do.

Hmmmmmmmmm.....

GL inventing (and copyrighting, assuming it uses a standard deck) a card game that no one else has ever though of. That's the first thing I have to say. And more importantly, GL making up something that will take off. Most non hold-em games get little to no play these days, no matter ho great they are..... even games that have been extremely popular for 100+ years.

I wonder what % of online hands dealt are 7 card stud (which historically, has always been a much bigger game than HE)... I'm thinking it's very, very small.

GL though. Keep us posted.

NOooooooooooooooooo. my bad

its the game of holdem.

The whole setup of the ring game is changed. Its hard to explain, but more people will play this that normal ring games i think, especially low limit players.

high limit would be mroe of a challenge, its based around the 2/4 player FL or NL player.

sorry for the confusion

All you've done now is confuse me more.... but I look forward to reading about your game when you decide to share it with us.

I wonder if it deals with multiple flops...

And in answer to your question, I would go with rake %. Come on ... you might get a few grand for an idea (or possibly even tens of thousands if it's good), but if it does take off, you stand to make a lot more over the long haul with a rake option.
