I know, 'easier said then done.' Here is what I would try if I were king of WsexLand:

1. Be exactly like Stars/FTP in every way including names in hand histories, allowing PT, HUDS, Datamining, 8-12 multi-tabling (stop listening to cranks and crackpots like 'tuff_fish') and have top notch state of the art software (just copy every good idea off stars and FTP).

Except, don't be like the others in the following ways:

1. Offer 80% to 100% rake back on a sliding scale with your most active players getting the 100%, but the 'extra' 20% bonus must be spent in the sports book or the casino.

2. First two people who start a new table automatically get the 100% rake back regardless of their activity level.

3. The 'Aces never lose' "congratulations!" auto-banner is a great idea.

4. A cool side-bar sports book panel up the side of the table to increase, entice more sports book action, and a casino panel up the other side highlighting the +EV for Wsex casino games to increase, entice more casino action.

5. Get rid of the free-roles, use the money for advertising.

6. Get out the word that the MoneyGram deposit option is, as it is, the single best way to deposit for Americans, this seems to be some kind of secret - why?

7. Pay out the rake back every other week, make more money on the interest carry float.

I applaud the GM's and Wsex's efforts, and I want rake free poker to succeed, but i believe new measures must be enacted quickly. Also, there must be some other good ideas posted here I left off.

If this didn't work, THEN I would shut down the room and say gg to the rake free experiment. Its too soon to conclude 'it just isn't working'
