Re: Chris Ferguson times 64
max,
there are some barriers for these kids to bypass. things like setting up bank accounts and/or credit cards to deposit with. then while they're making a wage from you, how many of them will actually save up their wages just so they can risk their own capital to play poker. A $50 deposit can be anywhere between a week to a month's worth of wages to some of these people.
the idea has merit but only if the owner is able to datamine the hand histories to spot cheating. this has to be done by a competent manager with the help of the database software.
another concern is bandwidth and power. if the enterprise is big enough then having running a UPS and a backup generator might be valuable. you'll probably need to pay for a security guard too round the clock to safeguard against theft and whatnot. but luckily that's not terribly expensive since labor is v. cheap.
even at some very low stakes games ($25nl) you can probably make it work paying someone $5/hr for 8 hour shift and do 3 shifts/day.
