Stratosphere Poker Room - Suggestions and Improvements

[slowlearner]

Locals start and keep the cash games running in rooms like yours and just about everything that can be done to run them off has been done. Little comps, freeroll is not on par with other small rooms. High hand jackpots are tiny compared to what must go in the badbeat jackpot drop. Lot's of locals will sit and grind for hours to qualify for a good freeroll, look at some of the rooms that attract them. As everyone knows the location is poor but the locals will come if you cater to them. If you are looking at the profit side, the times I have played there it seemed like there were a lot of bosses for a small room, room manager, tourney director, floor manager, do you really need all these people? Antes in a tourney of this size don't make sense. They slow everything way down, you are dealing with a bunch of folks who have never played live before and when the dealer has to remind half the table to ante every hand it is slooow. The structure and 17% is about average for the size buyin. Good luck hope you can improve the room.
