was reading the florida poker thread as well as the "youre the manager of a poker room" thread and it got me to thinking that shouldnt the rooms be encouraging super short stack buyin NL games and nothing else?

the recreational players will stick around until they are able to get a deep stack, the nits will be pissed off and leave, and the pit junkies can play a super action game that will either result in a fast big win, or break him right away so he can get back to high stakes blackjack

something along the lines of only spreading 20BB games, with the smallest stakes being 2/5NL $100 buyin, next 5/10NL $200, 15/25NL $500, and 25/50NL $1k

mandatory $5 drop on any hand that sees a flop, no jackpots of any kind

i am NOT suggesting that this would be a room that all of us would like to play, but would serve the purpose of "having a poker room" to satisfy tourists that will only stay in a place that spreads poker, and does not draw the pit junkies away from their regular games.
