2+2 Player Endorsed Sites
So it occurred to me after reading the PokerRoom rate structure debacle, that perhaps as a group (2+2 collective), we may have some “buying power”.
By that I mean that perhaps with our buying power we can “leverage” sites into offering better bonuses, lower rake, more promotions etc.
Quite frankly I don’t know how – I’m an idea man [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
But what if a site was labeled 2+2 Player Endorsed? Would that mean anything to a site?
I realize that the 2+2 community probably really isn’t much in the scheme of total poker players, but I would venture that per capita, we probably represent a larger portion of long term poker players than any other group out there. That should mean something to sites as it costs more to recruit more players rather than keep existing ones happy.
A few immediate drawbacks.
[*] A lot of the 2+2 community is very leary about spreading the word about 2+2, fearing it will dry up the fish ponds if people come here.
[*]2+2 probably doesn’t want to “endorse” any site. I’m not sure if there is a line between a “2+2 Player” Endorsement compared to just a 2+2 Endorsement.
Perhaps other sites would take notice if there was a sidebar on this site indicating that XXX Site has been 2+2 Player endorsed.
To be endorsed sites would need to meet certain requirements regarding rake, promotions, CS, etc…
I think maybe a panel of 2+2 internet posters would present “nominees” to be endorsed by the collective?
A lot of this is just off the top of my head, and would be happy to see someone spearhead this.
