It was a mistake to change the ante and bring in in the 100-200 stud hi lo game from $15 ante/$30 bring in to the absurd $25 ante/$50 bring in. First of all $50 bring in for 100-200 is insane at 50% of a small bet. No real stud game anywhere online or in the world is played with a 50% bring in look at some examples. 3-6 $1 bring in 33% of SB, or 10-20 $3 bring in 30% of SB, or 20-40 $5 bring in 25% of SB, or even 30-60 $10 bring in 33% of SB. And examples of antes 3--6 is .25 or 8% of a SB, or 5-10 .5 10% of a SB, or 10-20 1 or 10% of a SB. Now at 100-200 $25 is a HUGE 25% of a small bet. Also even the 100-200 stud games at the Commerce Casino in Los Angles, the poker capitol of the world, the ante and bring are both $20. The ante definitely should not be over $20 while $15 was fine. Also the bring in at $50 is totally outrageous!! You have turned this game into a crapshoot!! with a HUGE high ante and bring in, and there was no reason to do so. The game had plenty of action and was very popular why change the structure? Just to try and run up the rake on some of the shorthanded games? Have some respect for your biggest customers.
