Re: Congratulations! You just became the manager of a Vegas poker room
I have not read past post 30 or so, so if I am repeating some, I apologize. Here are my thoughts beyond rake reduction and comp systems:
1. Weekly/Monthly Freeroll tourney for short handed players/table starters. Make it a 6 handed limit event for consistency.
2. Develop a list of players willing to play short handed at those stakes. Get their emails. Provide comps for them to show up at scheduled times to start a game. Coordinate the start as if it was a home-game.
3. Provide a guaranteed game. "If we don't have it running, we will pay you $10/hour (or whatever) until we start dealing 5 handed". You have to play for 1 hour to collect. Of course the payment is small, so that people aren't taking advantage of the system. It shows you are interested in keeping the game running.
