Default Re: WSEX: Official Monthly Thread: May. (#9 of 9.)

It is a little late, but an anniversary tourney would've been a good touch and may have appealed to those who are drawn to MTTs. Perhaps a belated anniversary tourney could be planned.

WPX has built up a lot of good will among its poker player base, some of whom may tout the sports book side to non-poker player bettors. Thinking ahead, perhaps the GM can think of a small, 2+2 specific sportsbook promo to draw in new customers for the coming NFL season. I know a lot of recreational sports bettors who've lost their book during the past year and who would be drawn to some sort of token promo to set up a new account with a safe and reputable online site.

The various upgrades have gone very well. The mini-view is a great option. The software and connection issues have been solved. In the course of a year WPX has developed an extremely stable, playable platform that compares well to any leading site.

A Stars type slider for the NL and MTT players is really the final piece. A H.O.S.E. option may get some interest and would not require introducing a new game (RAZZ) to the lineup. If there's not much cost/time/effort involved, HOSE may be well received and may widen the player base.
