THE EASY WAY TO GET YOUR HOME GAME TOO ROCK!

[adman2006]

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.

I have been thinking of ways that I could gaurantee a full table every week and need YOU to massage the idea with me.

Also need to know if this has been done already or if the concept is a winner or just plain crap!!!!

The idea is:

You get your 10-12 regular players (I don't know how to do this, this is where you come in) to give you $100 bucks each.

You then say to them that over the next 10 weeks at the end of each night we will count everyone's chips just like you would normally and write down everyone's total chip stack on a peice of cardboard seperated into 10 week slots etc.

Then, after the 10 weeks are complete you hand out the moneys to the people who came 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th and 8th place accordingly to their chip stack sizes.

Something like this:

1st $400
2nd $300
3rd $200
4th $100
5th $75
6th $50
7th $25
8th $25

(Yes I know I'm under $25, but you get the idea)

and then start another 10 week tourney keeping it fresh.

my questions are:

How could you arrange it so that people aren't just buying in to build up their chip stack?

On that point, could you minus the amount of money they bought in with and make it total winnings only.

I know it's simple but I think it would create more excitement for the week ahead and hopefully have people coming back to try and win the big 10 week pot.

Would anyone like to add to this idea.

thanks
