OK, you talked me into it, discuss why this wont work please:)

If this is NL then the buyins should change with every level change and there should be a normal maximum buyin (no matter what format it is). Having a 10/20NL player sit with $10,000 during the 25c/50c level would be annoying. If it is limit then it doesn't matter. At the end of a level you could either keep what you have on the table (even if it is above the maximum--not that it would be that much above) OR top off to the max for the next level if you want.

I like the idea of incorporating a prize with a buyin SNG style (or MTT style, but that would be confusing). Not sure how you would keep track of who is winning though...

MTT, it might make things easier (eliminate voting to continue short handed, waiting for 10th player, etc,etc) if there were a couple of tables of this going on at a time.

eejit, just so you know your copyright registration is not really going to afford you much protection. Basically under copyright law you're only protected against an exact duplication of the original... so if someone just changes your idea ever so slightly, you can't stop them. This is why you need to get the people you're discussing the idea with to sign a confidentiality agreement with a non-compete clause.

Not to mention that you would have to shell out a lot of money to fight an infriging company, right? Poker Sites have the unlimited resources of Microsoft and tobacco and they are not officially in the US to begin with.

It doesn;t sound like you are looking for a huge payday for this anyway, but I hope you do get credit and a little s'thin for your time and effort.

im hoping for something. dont know wot yet

[eejit101]

FUCK YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got off the phone with my "contact".

They are gonna speak to senior management and get this implemented in th next couple of days.

They asked what i wanted, i said rake percentage and a bit of cash.

Had a good chat, made some jokes, talked about deal or no deal e.t.c

Hes gonna see if he can get me a small % of rake, and some cash fo sho.

Also, if they dont go for the %, he said you have some good ideas, im looking to recruit some kind of staff in the next 2 months, working from home, in the affiliate department he works in.

hes getting back to me in 2 days and keeping me informed, plus, he works in Swindon in the UK.

Best possible outcome IMO!!!

COME THE FUCK ON BABY

Nice!!!!!!!

Here's hoping this will lead to a cool new job for you, if nothing else. And even if you can get just a couple of % of the rake, that could be nice... If people like your idea and play at these tables, of course. I still have my reservations.
