Default Re: Congratulations! You just became the manager of a Vegas poker room

TT,
Only way to get a regular 30/60 going is to have a feeder off of a few 15/30 games. No regular 15/30 - the 30/60 will die.
As for playing short handed, many of us will with the right mix short handed. It does no good to have 5 or 6 very good players sitting around beating each other up. Thus the need for the feeder game.
Even at the "B" on any given night, you will not see a bunch of locals sitting around playing each other short handed.

Offering comp $$ at a higher rate to the 30/60 players is not the answer. That will only carry the game so far.

You need to step back on your "jump right into 30/60".
Build a solid 15/30 player base, the 30/60 player will follow.

Also, thinking of local working "pros" as NITS is not the way to attract the crowd.
