Newsflash! If you want a successful poker room, emulate what the most succcessful poker rooms are doing.

Sounds great as a soundbite, but in the real world this kind of thinking can get you into trouble. Sure a smallpoker room might make it by emulating Stars and FT, but they are more likely to prosper by offering something different to these sites. It's called niche marketing and it works because there is only ever room for one or two big players at the top.
