Some Suggestions for the Poker Site:If the poker site is going to be a success, I think it needs some work and a concerted effort to get it up and running. Some ideas to get the ball rolling ...
FreerollsI think that rather than offering 50 coins/chips to each player as a promotion you should consider running freeroll tournaments with a 50 or 100 coin prizepool. This is a good way to get people to sign up to the site and 'give it a go'. Hopefully when people get knocked out of the tournament they might give the cash games a try, so it would be worth ensuring there is at least one cash table running during the tournament.
This weekend could be a good opportunity to get them running with a few tournaments staggered so they are suitable for different time zones. Maybe someone could produce an advertising flyer to post on some of the forum pages?
BlindsThe blinds seem odd for the NL hold-em, currently 0.25/2. Normally the big blind is double the small blind ie 1/2
Buy-InsThe most common maximum buy-ins are 100x the big blind so they seem a bit high on the site. The trouble with large relative buy-ins is that they favour the better players and weaker players tend to go bust more quickly. I would suggest the following blinds and buy-ins and to concentrate on NL hold-em;
1/2 (50-200)
2/4 (100-400)
5/10 (250-1,000)
10/20 (500-2,000)
50/100 (2,500-10,000)
RakeOn-line industry standard is to charge 5% rake, I think you could get away with charging 2% and recouping some of the promotion funds
