Agree with BDB, playing $5 sitngos are no fun for me. Sorry but after playing 10/20 during the day or mid limit NL games thats just not fun. Sorry if that offends.
Maybe $30 a week for 10 weeks - plus a $X00 season fee for the season that goes straight in the end of the year pot? The weekly entry fees could partially go to the end of the year pool and partially for weekly prizes - maybe a 50-50 split? The other thing the one entry fee does is really give us a count of who's in. Lets see at $200 season fee figuring we get 30 guys to sign up (that may be a reach) that would be @ $10,500 in the end of the season prize pool - $6000 in season fees and half of the weeklys would be ($15x10x30)? thats not bad, plus weekly prizes?
Also I'll throw out the idea of what about holding say 15 events and you play in a max 10 to accumulate points? That would give people the opportunity to miss some - sort of like that Poker Invitational tourney on FSN - and we could even have point systems based on number of entries. Stars does this for payouts, they pay a certain amount to each position based on the total number of entries. Just some thoughts here, changing rapidly.
But say 1-9 entries you award points for top 3 in a certain fashion, 10-19 entries top 5 get points in a certain fashion, 20-29 entries top 7 etc. You earn points over our 15 week "season" but can play in a maximum of ten tournaments.
Depending on total entries we would award end of the "season" money to top X. i like the idea though of paying into the end of the season pool X amount plus having a weekly buyin.
Could also have a couple of "majors" with double points/double buyin?
And guys I dont think a WTF is necessary on any sides. Anyone thats been around for any length of time knows that we have guys here that lay $20-$30 a game during NFL season and guys who lay $1-2 dimes a game. Thats a product of their bankroll or how they like to play or what they make in their dayjobs or whatfreakingever. Why should poker be any different? I dont think the guys that lay dimes on a game would have any fun suddenly laying $10?
One thing I will say is Jack mentioned something about multiple sites. I'm not really interested in doing this if it involves chasing a bunch of poker sites for this kind of thing especially given that some of them have really lousy software and at some the regular mid or high lmiit games simply dont exist. Would kind of hope we setlle on one like Pokerstars and stick with it. Too much uncertainty right now to go throwing money in too many places unless they were to waive their minimum deposit requirement. Again, im my most humble of opinions.
