No Rake $10-20 & $15 30 games as a promotion to attract new players ?

[TruePoker CEO]

Do you think $10-20 and $15-30 holdem players would try a site which charges no rake at that level, during certain hours of the day, yet charges rake at other, lower levels, where some players may be more comfortable "building their bankrolls" ?

Truepoker is going to see what effect a No-Rake policy has during the rest of August, starting Monday. We will spread a No-Rake $10-20 Holdem table and a No Rake $15-$30 Holdem table every morning from 8:00 am EDT to 10:00 am EDT.

Frankly, many Brick & Mortar places used to kick back money in some form to start games in the wee hours. There is an element of that in this experiment.

Our overall aim is a little different, we hope to attract enough interest from new mid-stakes players looking for a No Rake bargain to grow our player base generally and perhaps get play during "raked hours" from those same folks. Of course, new players would still get the Truepoker 30% deposit bonus when they play in raked games

We have tried a "low limit" promotion with some success, offering Newbies a 4 freeroll tournament package, for cash they can then take to real cash games. This No Rake promo is aiming for higher stakes players who might have not yet tried our games .... (It will NOT be limited to new accounts however, and our regular Hold-em players are free to join these No-Rake games every morning.)
