Anyone else have trouble getting a full table every week because people pull out at the last minute leaving the night crap or short a few players.

Firstly, no that's not a huge problem, find reliable players. Secondly, what's wrong with an 8-handed game?

You seem like a nice guy but your idea is flawed in that you wouldn't really be playing poker. You would be playing some messed up flat pay-out tournament that lasts waaay too long. If people play for 7 weeks and are down they will have almost no hope of catching up to the people who have wona few sessions and the game won't be fun for them... and well... it's just so impractical. What if someone has to go to a wedding and misses a week? sucks for them eh?

Bad idea. Sorry.
