We will see if this monthly fee based business model will work. If it does great deal of poker and sports betting market could transfer to monthly fee based services.

That's very true. I just started on a fee based site for tournies that costs $10 bucks a month if you pay upfront for a year, or $20 on a month to month option. They have a great tourney schedule of cash paying MTT's each day. You pay nothing to enter the cash tournies and qualifiers for upcoming special MTT's with big paydays.

Something like this I find will be great for so so many beginner and intermediate players wanting a low cost option to play many many cash tournies without risking more than .33 per day. It's really a no lose situation, and a great way to learn how to play MTT's and improve your game. The cash offerings are substantial enough to keep your interest too.

The cash tourney offerings do max out at 1000 players, and they are usually full before going off, so the site definately has a solid player base already. So it looks like this type of fee based site for a few dimes a day can do well.

Hopefully the days where big sites like Party are able to rake off 3 million of players bankrolls a day are numbered. Maybe two years from now things will be totally different.

Don't want to encourage the spammer, but it would be nice if one such site would succeed. It would put a bit more pressure on the bigger sites.

It would be nice if an idea like a 30 cent maximum rake per hand succeeded. This is a good idea, and could start a price war eventually.

The idea of a small fee per day or month is bad - too many whores will make the site too tight and will deny the site any possibility of earning enough to make a profit and fund a marketing campaign.

Very well put, these poker sites are making a killing and it isn't easy to win. If I had my own site the rake would be 3% or $2 max and I would still be rich.

Not sure if youare aware romero...but that was most likely done by one of the moderators after they locked this guy's 2+2 handle.

(just in case you thought the original-poster himself was just being up front about some kind of goofy practical joke).

it's a new thing these days.

i think the newer mods don't have the power to just ban the poster. but they can change all sorts of stuff on their profile and in their title (such as where jurollo adjusted my 'title' to say 'johnny chan spotter') so whenever a spammer or 'online-is-rigged' or 'i don't understand variance but i think i'm gods-gift of poker' type guy arrives they can expect a 'scarlet letter' or two courtesy of the mods.
