it was like a rake idea, like a SnG or MTT fee, but noones likes it so ill scrap the fee thing.

I actually don't mind the fee, as long as you don't also charge a rake. It should be one or the other.

And I'm also wondering how many orbits you will end up getting? At least in the levels I play, I find that there is someone leaving the table almost every orbit. And if you do get several orbits, those micro limit players who sit with the min at every table, will be quickly all-in or fold especially if they haven't won a pot in the earlier rounds.

The idea is interesting and does seem to be a good combination of both a ring game and a SnG.

Good idea eejit, stick with it and keep honing it and see where it takes you.

Rake or entry fee? They aren't going to give up those rakes, especially at the high levels, so drop the fee IMO.

Keep rockin' eejit with this concept to fruition, so we can say, "That ain't shit buddy, I know the guy that came up with this game, so just sit there, stop whining, and play!"

when i first read about the fee i thought that it was like the buyin and the winner would get to keep it... guess i was wrong. Wouldnt it make it more interesting if the fee was like 5$ per player and the last 2 or 3 players left playing would share the 50$ prize pool. So if someone busted out they would have to join a different table that was just starting, or if someone felt that they have lost too much they can just leave and forfit their buyin.

Yup... it's not worth it and it goes against what you are trying to accomplish. If the game gets to $10/$20 NL, who gives a crap about the $50 fee?

I can think of alternative ways that this might work, but not for what you have written down so far.

BTW.... I thought you had this idea copyrighted. If that's the case, how can you keep changing it?
